little extra time on my nightly skincare routine, cooking and enjoying a meal alone, deep cleaning my everyday space (don’t forget to light your favorite candle). Prioritize yourself, even with the little things.
Positive affirmations on repeat.
Keeps you grounded, encouraged and mentally focused on your goals throughout your day.
Connect with community / other mothers.
Good relationships are good for your mental health. Finding other mothers who could relate to me and my new lifestyle was a game changer for me. Sometimes all we need is a little extra motivation to keep the momentum going.
Podcasts /platforms that keep you inspired.
A good listen could change the perspective/tone of your whole day. Some of my favorites are “Therapy for Black Girls”, “Women Evolve by Sarah Jakes Roberts”, and “Super Soul with Oprah”.
It’s necessary to take the time out every day to care for yourself, always, in all ways. It will not only keep you mentally healthy but you will become a more balanced and happy person overall.
