Mothers, Make YOU a Priority Too!

When you become a mother, lots of things change. One of the biggest changes is the amount of love you feel for that little person. It's absolutely amazing! But, along with the love, comes an overwhelming feeling to devote all your resources into taking care of them. Everything is about them. So much, that I think sometimes it's easy for us to forget that we are also important and as a result, forget to focus on our health and physical fitness.

The point I want to make today is that you need to make time for yourself and you shouldn't feel guilty for doing so. I believe that setting some time aside each day or a couple times a week to take care of you, is necessary. Don't underestimate the power physical health has on all aspects of your life. Having the ability to take control your physical health will make you feel wonderful and if you feel good, you will be able to better deal with the daily stresses that motherhood brings. Also, by taking the time to work on your fitness, you are setting an example for your children to follow. Be that example. 

Make time for you, make it a priority because YOU are a priority. If you haven't already worked physical fitness into your daily routine, start now! I promise you, you will love the result.
