SELF-CARE AND BEING A MUM
From the endless energy to the never-ending curiosity, being a parent is definitely a rollercoaster ride.
Self-care is not something to take lightly, it is crucial to being a parent.
Self-care makes you a person in addition to being a parent.
A person knows that a child’s behaviour is separate from the love a parent has for the child.
The characteristics that come with developing a child have pros and cons. For a parent, learning to deal with the cons is an art.
When you feel overwhelmed, it doesn’t mean you are an inferior parent. You just have too much on your plate. That is important to remember.
After all, being a person is more important than trying to be a super parent.
It is therefore valuable to put things in perspective and address the source of stress.
It teaches you that there is a distinction between being a person and being a mother. Self-care gives you support in situations that cause overwhelming emotions. This support enables you to give your child love, regardless of the stress.
