Have you ever felt so stressed that you just wanted to throw the cover over your head and pretend you didn't have to get up?
When I get stressed my mind starts to race with a million things going all at once. I start to feel like Dorothy and that I'm caught in a tornado of my own making.
But then I stop. And breathe. And reflect on what I'm feeling and what I need right now.
This is self-care.
Understanding how to practice self-care (especially if you are a busy mama) is vital to staying calm, cool, and collected. Although it would be great to click our heels three times and be transported to our happy place, practicing a bit of self-care is the next best thing.
In today's video I share with you the fact and fiction of self-care. I also share with you quick and easy STEPS that you can use to start up a self-care routine for yourself.
Take care,
Erica
