Mompreneurs, when was the last time you prioritized yourself on a consistent basis?
Mom’s who own businesses always have a lot on their plate.
And I’m right there with you!
It’s easy to let the need for rest and self-care fall to the wayside when we have so many other obligations to fulfill between meeting both family and business demands.
By continually neglecting your needs, you feel…
🤦♀️ exhausted from always giving your time and energy away
🤦♀️ disconnected, not really being fully present because your mind is distracted by what and who needs your attention next
🤦♀️ overwhelmed with the pressure to get the workload done and be on point all the time
For me, I also became resentful of constantly being needed because I felt like I was always on demand, never able to go at my own pace or timeframe.
I knew the only way it was going to change was if I did something to finally put myself first.
So I created this 5-Step Morning Routine to ensure that I get daily ‘ME’ time. And I’m excited to share it with you!
1. Upon waking, notice your thoughts, take a big deep breath and say to yourself… “Whatever happens today, I can handle it with ease. I love me. I’m doing great.”
*Accept it. Don’t question it. Don’t add a ‘But…’ to it.
2. While still in bed, set the intention for how you would like to show up in your day. “Today, I choose to be …" (I.E. calm, focused, proactive, confident...) *Sit with the intention for several seconds.
3. Put on a rejuvenating meditation that helps to release built up stress from the body. (See link in my bio for a free relaxation meditation)
4. Either go workout, meditate longer, pray or read something that inspires you. *Do what your body needs.
5. Once all the above are complete, look around observing your surroundings, take a big deep breath in and say “Let’s Do This!”
Choose to do steps 3-5 either before or after you’ve gotten the kids ready for the day. Fuel your body when it makes sense for you.
Have fun with it and make it your own!
By prioritizing 'ME' time, you’re setting yourself up to be more successful at home and at work.
