Self-Care Is Not Selfish

I recently attended a Ladies Conference in Cedar Lake, Indiana.  It was great!  The theme was “Slumber Party.”  It was a Christian conference all centered around play, rest, and fun!  The speaker was Cindy Bultema.  She said, “Self-care is not selfish.”  All the women cheered!  That message got me really thinking.

As a Mom, I feel like I am taking care of everyone.  Since I am a mom to a special needs son, self-care is the last thing on my to-do list.  When I left the conference, I knew this was the area I was going to take on!  It has been great.  No guilt.  I know when I am taking care of me that is good for my entire family!

Are you taking care of yourself?

  1. Yes. I try very hard to have me time every day. It starts with a bedtime routine for my kids. It allows me to relax a little and wind down before I go to bed. I’ve also started working out regularly and raking vitamins regularly. I pray that I continue this. Hope you take care of yourself too. Our kids need us.
