❤️🩹Being a mum, i understand the sudden loss of identity, the feeling of needing to provide and forget your own self care in order to ensure everyone else is OK and any thoughts of following your own dreams seem no longer important or indeed selfish. But they are important.
l speak as a mum, but I see it on both sides and self care definitely seems to be the lowest priority for many as bills, mortgages, childcare, work get prioritised and time and money seem non-existent.
💪The moment you start to prioritise your health is the moment you see other areas in your life improve.
Whether thats waking up an 1hr earlier to fit in exercise before the start of the day or slotting in 20mins of exercise between kids in bed and dinner.
You start to create discipline around time for you, you emulate to your kids the importance of self care and being responsible for your health and in turn you realise if you can make time to take care of your health then maybe you can become more time efficient in other areas of your life to build a healthier mindset towards your food, sleep, work and relationships.
🫂My life has been far from perfect. But I hope as a perimemonpausal single mum who set up a (now thriving) business 8 years ago whilst bringing up 2 boys with very little childcare support or nearby family and continued to turn up for herself in terms of fitness whilst being willing to learn, adapt and overcome challenges (from failed business ideas, injuries, operations, a bodybuilding competition and various traumas) in order to grow....that you too can believe anything is possible.
💫You are in control of your short time on this earth and the only blocks to your growth or change, is you. You can fail over and over, but never give up on who you know you are meant to become.
It won't be perfect. It will mostly be messy but it will definitely be worth going for it!
This. Is where your happiness lies.
