It can be difficult to focus on nurturing mind, body and soul throughout the year with the busyness of life and an ever-growing list of responsibilities.
“I’ve been talking to women about this for years, and we seem to have trouble even feeling like we’re worthy of being put on our own list of priorities,” says Amy Tiemann, author of Mojo Mom: Nurturing Your Self While Raising a Family. “If you can’t do it because you feel like you deserve it, look at it this way: You are a first responder. An emergency can come up at any time, and you should be as well rested and restored as you’d want your ER doc or EMT to be,” Tiemann said. “And besides, taking care of yourself will make you a better parent and partner. You’ll be more fun to be around and more responsive to your family.”
