4 Self Care Ideas All Women Need

[@LauraDoyleAuthor]

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the phrase self-care? Do you think of a bubble bath or a treadmill session or going to a spa, or something else entirely?

Self-care is doing something that makes you feel good, something that brings you joy.

I like to color with classical music on in the background. Even if it’s a simple children’s coloring book. 😊 So easy to do with family around. Doesn’t require concentration. No big set up, no babysitter needed, no prepping meals before you leave. 😉💕

P.s. I initially wrote a sad, negative comment about how I no longer have a dream or any idea what brings me joy. But I decided to step up, add something to the discussion and come up with one thing! 😃💕AND I actually did! 😉

What I have noticed is that when I get super tired …usually at the end of the day I get very mean and irritable . I just thought I was a bad mom. Turns out I was just tired mom. Nowadays I just don’t allow myself to get too tired. I stop and drop everything am doing aslong as nobody will die and I retire to bed. If I know am going to have a busy day . I plan a bubble bath at the end of the day with candles , a series, snacks , some wine 🍷 to replenish myself. Am so grateful to have come across this lifestyle. Self care has been life changing. Thank you Laura

@ntokozojiyane7051 You’re absolutely right - it’s not about being a “bad” mom, it’s about taking care of yourself! You’re an inspiration, and we’re so glad self-care is working for you. -Laura Doyle Connect Team

I'm fairly new to this, but I'm finding that when I'm more irritable and short, I'm asking myself "how's your self care?" It's usually a sign I need to stop and make time for self care (coffee, reading, a podcast, Bible, prayer, etc.)

Some of my favorite Self Care activities are: relaxing at home alone and watching a favorite TV show; going to the thrift store; meeting my aunt for manicures, shopping, or beach combing; meditating; being around cats and dogs (I LOVE animals!); reading; decorating for seasons and holidays; listening to old records and singing along in my kitchen; hand-sewing and embroidering vintage Christmas ornaments ❤

❤I love this, thank you for writing your book, I really needed the instruction and encouragement......it goes down like a spoonfuls of sugar because you make me laugh, my husband and I spend 95 percent of our time together so when you said even their breathing bothers you, I totally get that....and a new way, besides guilt to deal with it. Thank you Laura.

Laura I’ve read your books and they have been so helpful and challenging to me. It’s like I’m learning a new language and have to refer back to your teachings to correct my actions. I’m so glad I found your KZbin channel! I loved this video. Thank you for all you do! I’m a wife, mother to 3 little children and work part time as a RN. Your books and thought resonate with me and I want to get “fluent” in them bc I’ve seen the great impact on me and my husband.
