Celebrating Moms: Self-care and the Oxygen Mask Principle

Hello Amazing Moms,

With Mother's Day just around the corner, it's the perfect time to celebrate YOU— the incredible mothers who nurture, inspire, and uplift others every day. As we honor the selfless love and care you give to your families, let's also take a moment to prioritize self-care and remember the importance of putting on your own oxygen mask first. Today, we'll explore simple yet meaningful ways you can nourish your well-being and fill your cup with love and joy. ?

?? Honoring Moms: Embracing Self-Care ??

1. Practice Gratitude:

• Take a moment each day to reflect on the blessings in your life and express gratitude for the love, joy, and beauty that surrounds you. Gratitude has the power to shift your perspective and fill your heart with appreciation. Take time first thing in the morning for this practice. Grab my favorite tea and sit down to write your gratitudes in your journal.

2. Nourish Your Body and Soul:

• Prioritize self-care by nourishing your body with nutritious foods, staying hydrated, and getting enough restorative sleep. Treat yourself to activities that bring you joy, whether it's indulging in a bubble bath, reading a good book, or practicing gentle yoga.Maybe find a dance studio and take a fun dance class.

3. Connect with Nature:

• Spend time outdoors and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Take a leisurely walk in the park with or without your dog, breathe in the fresh air, and marvel at the wonders of the natural world. Nature has a remarkable ability to soothe the soul and rejuvenate the spirit.

4. Set Boundaries:

• Honor your needs and set boundaries to protect your time, energy, and well-being. Learn to say no to commitments that drain you and yes to activities that uplift and replenish your spirit. SO so important

5. Seek Support:

• Remember, you don't have to do it all alone. Reach out to friends, family, or support groups for encouragement, guidance, and understanding. Surround yourself with people who lift you up and remind you of your strength and worth.

? Putting on Your Oxygen Mask: Prioritizing Self-Care ?

Just like on an airplane, where you're instructed to put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others, prioritizing self-care is essential for your well-being and ability to care for others. By nurturing yourself, you replenish your energy reserves, boost your resilience, and show up as the best version of yourself for your loved ones.

?? How to love and support yourself:??

• Mindful Mornings: Grab my favorite tea or protein shake to add to your wonderful morning.
• Grab a journal and start Journaling: Start journaling your thoughts and feelings in a lovely journal.
• Need more energy and health? : Take 5 minutes to take a FREE health quiz to start to create a personalized nutrition/vitamin plan for you. Fill in the gaps where your diet falls short.
