Are you taking good enough care of yourself? Do you have moments for yourself?
You know, of course, that if you aren't taking good care of yourself, you aren't much good to your children. Sure, you may be able to provide structurally for them, housing, food, clothing, etc. But if you aren't taking care of yourself, emotionally, spiritually, you can't be present for them emotionally or spiritually either.
Everyone is different; 10 minutes meditation each day might be perfect for one person; taking a belly-dance class might work for another. The point is that you need something specific that is solely yours; time for you alone, with no one around for you to caretake.
So, what is it that you need? What aspect of your life have you been neglecting? Do you need help sorting through the detritus of life, to find where you can find yourself?

SO true. We all forget to take care of ourselves. Often we find ourselves busily taking care of others or in our own denial about what in our own backyard we need to be addressing, we instead focus on everything else BUT ourselves. We should all stop - listen to our inner self and look in the mirror long enough to see what or who is really looking back at us.
