From Wednesday to Friday this week I’ll be sharing a taster of the Self Care Challenge with a mini 3 day challenge focused on some of the things which stop us practicing self care.
I know the term self care can feel so triggering at times. When someone says, “just take time to yourself” they might as well be asking you to grow another arm. Because when is this magical free time and who will be watching the kids and what about the millions of other things that will be neglected in lieu of rest?!
Believe me, I get it. Logistics aside, there’s also a deeper layer to this which makes us feel like we’re actually doing something wrong by taking care of ourselves. How on earth we got to the point of feeling guilty for eating the last few blueberries instead of saving them for our toddler, I don’t know. But it’s time to eat the damn blueberries.
So if you want a fresh perspective on the blocks to self care that most moms encounter and you want to spend 3 days being challenged to do something differently, then come join in.
The mini challenge takes place in the Brave Mamas Community group on whatsapp and it’s absolutely free. We start tomorrow (Wednesday).
