practical encouragement that helps you calm the chaos and cultivate hope in every season
the blog
Today is part 1 of a February series I’m calling “Loving You”. Each week we will talk about a topic on how to love YOURSELF well. And what better topic to kick off this series than the ever popular “self care”. We’ve all heard it said, “self care isn’t selfish”, but do we actually believe that we’re worth making ourselves a priority? And if so, HOW do we actually do that?
Today we’re talking about all things self care as moms who often feel stretched too thin and prioritize ourselves last. We’ve all heard about it and pretty much know what it is. But have we lost sight of the importance of actually living it out in our lives as busy moms? Is there a spiritual significance for the Christian mom? It’s easy to hear about something so many times that we eventually aren’t even phased – it goes in one ear and out the other. But, today I want to discuss what self care actually is, how you can practically make more time for yourself within your week, and why it matters as a mama of faith.

We all have an inner critic. It’s that negative voice we hear on repeat. I call her the mean girl in my head. It’s the condescending, negative thoughts that replay in our minds day in and day out. More than likely, you have the same set of negative thoughts running through your mind each day.
Do our thoughts matter?
Does what we focus on matter?
Is there any way to change or get rid of these nasty, mean thoughts that consume us?
I’m so glad you’re here because the answer is YES! You can take control of your mind and the thoughts you think. And it may not be as complicated as you believe it is. You are not stuck, mama. There is hope for you!! Grab some tea or coffee, a pair of headphones and get ready to be encouraged, informed, and inspired to create change in your life by starting with just one thought.
