Sorry I missed yesterday’s post, my computer seemed to catch a little virus and I had to spend the night running scans. If you saw on my Facebook page, I shared an old post on motherhood. Glad tobe jumping back in on the challenge today.

It is okay to take a break. This is probably one of the most
important lessons I have learned in the first year of motherhood. Something in
us mothers makes us feel like we have to do it all, be it all, and power
through anything and everything. For some reason we think we are indestructible.
Truth is we aren’t. The more we try to power through this world of motherhood
on our own, the more likely we are to burn out. We need to take time for us. We
need to take a time out.

Realizing when you need to pull away and rejuvenate yourself
is extremely important as a mother. Taking time for yourself is crucial to
helping you be the best mother you can be. When you start to feel burnt out and
overwhelmed, don’t be afraid to admit that you need a time out. It doesn’t mean
you are a failure of a mother; it’s not being able to do everything that makes
you a good mother.

Take some time for yourself this week, it is so refreshing. I
promise you will feel empowered to be an even better mother.
