As single mothers we are constantly giving to our children. Those extra dollars you tucked away for a dinner out with friends gets spent on a new pair of sneakers for your child. The date you are extremely excited for needs to be cancelled because your child gets sick. Car repairs mean no vacation. Evening classes need to be postponed because of soccer season. The list goes on and on and soon the exhaustion seeps in right alongside the anger, resentment and the single momma blues.
Things happen and running a home solo means it is all up to you. The best way to keep the exhaustion and single momma blues at bay is to build a reserve. Fill the vessel inside of your core with magic, wonder and radical self care.
Each and every day drop gold into your vessel by treating yourself to some luxury. It doesn't have to be expensive or outlandish. Make it simple and fun every single day starting now. Right now.
Here are some of my favorites:
*Sit in the sun for 15 minutes and close your eyes.
*Buy yourself flowers.
*Take a bubble bath.
*Take lunch outside.
*Make a meal just for you.
*Watch a funny movie.
*Take a day off from work.
*Listen to your favorite music.
*Dance Dance Dance.
