Listen "Personal Care"
Episode Synopsis
Personal Care
Taking care of yourself when parenting preteens, teens and young adults can be challenging. We talk honestly about how hard it can be to take care of yourself from the very beginning of the parenting journey, and just when you think you might catch a break-and take a bath or read a book, get a mani-pedi or a massage….” just kidding” say the adolescent years.
In this episode we talk about not just the importance of self-care, because that can feel like pressure, but we explore all the trillions of ways a parent can take care of themselves, and how modeling that? Modeling taking care of you? That is vital to being in any healthy relationship, especially as a parent at any age. Taking back taking care of the self allows your children freedom. You can practice self-care, and they do not have to take care of you because they know that you are capable of doing it for yourself!
There is no right or wrong way to take care of yourself. Taking the time to pause and consider who that self is? Who are you? What are your likes and dislikes? This is a good place to begin. No pressure, just a personal care pause.
The Practice:
Identify and make a list of five things which make you feel good, things which make you feel like you have given yourself a gift, large or small.
