How To Take Care Of Yourself As A Mom: Giving yourself what you NEED

What would you add to these self-care strategies? Always looking for more, haha!

Kudos mama! I'm a single mom to twins, I work two jobs, do YouTube and blogging! I have been prioritizing self-care more! I definitely schedule it because otherwise, I just wont do it! Its really important because it allows you to be the best version of yourself for your kids! Look, napping is a must lol!

Hi Lisa thankyou for sharing this, I am a stay home mom. I have to work on giving myself more time to myself as I've been stressing myself out,I want to be healthy and i also need to take care of myself so that I can be a happy wife and mom to our 11 year old daughter 😊

I just found you on YouTube and without you knowing it, you gave me permission to really be true to myself. I am starting a YouTube channel and have been trying to make my videos perfect. You have freed me from perfection and to just be who I am by being a great example of this yourself. Thank you so much for your energy and authenticity!

But what if you feel guilty about self care? Or if you try and schedule it but your husband doesn't let you do it comfortably or let's you leave feeling at peace. Instead I feel like when I get back I have to do everything again and let him be free and relax...

As a first time Mom of an 8 week old, this is so helpful!

I always want to spend time with my 2 yr old, so I come home at 830am from a night shift, from a job that is an hour away and then spend at least 2 hrs with her as soon as I get home. It cuts into my sleep and I'm so exhausted, but I don't want her to feel like I don't want to see her. Sometimes I get 5hrs, but anytime I sleep it's broken anyway....idk. I guess I'm saying I feel guilty when I sleep. I start my day at 630pm and up til the next day about 1030- 1130am...it's a cycle.

Love how you share the "comparative game" that we moms usually endure! and the connection with self care

Love you and your advices. U r so real. Thanks a lot for the motivation.

Thank you for reminding me to take of my self😊😊😊

You are the sweetest! I love your personality!

I'm 15 and my mom has 7 kids. I'm the second oldest while my brother is 17. I'm trying to force her to take care of herself because sadly I can tell she's not caring for herself at all. I truly think she's depressed but she still loves us. Sometimes she smells really really bad and I know nobody's there to help her... What should I do? I was wanting to install rules and try setting a routine for my younger siblings but this caused a lot of conflict between my mom and myself. She says that it it shouldn't be my worry but I honestly think setting one would be highly beneficial. Ps I'm in foster care and covid is going on so I could barely see her😔...

Looking back i didn't self care it wud be random unscheduled iv got a 4 and 6 year old with no family support my partner worked very long hrs to support us. Literally now my son started school this is the time iv had. My anxiety was soo high, i didn't realise it bcus i had no me time now i feel alot better.. ladies mothers please try snd schedule your own time its soo important for mental health. I only feel on point when my nail, eyebrows and facial fone maybe if i can squeeze in some waxing, my car is cleaned. Also for non spending its def my 30 min exercisd and prayer time

I just found your channel, great video, thank you for posting!
