Self care myth 2
Self care needs to only some activity I enjoy.

Truth
Sometime self care is something you might not enjoy entirely but good for you.
For example I do not like exercise. To be honest I hate it. But walking and attending exercise class are self care.

For stay home mamas or any mamas.

Being in a house all day with your baby is not easy at all. Regardless of how it looks from other person’s point of view.

Being with a kid all day is maddening at times.

It is not easy. I know.
You are doing well. You are doing the best you can every moment.

Did you know…?

That you don’t have to love every moment of your mamahood?

That it is okay to say “this sucks” “It is way to hard. I did not sign up for this. “.

It is like saying “I love driving, but I don’t like this car I rented”.

It makes you honest human. Because parenthood is hard and ugly at times. It does not make less you or a bad mom.
