Mind: Looking after you

A couple of months ago I came across this self-care printable from Eponis and it stopped me in my tracks. As a mother we all have days where our plans go to pot, the stars don’t align (or perhaps that should be kids), we’re feeling under the weather and generally putting too much pressure on ourselves to solve the age-old conundrum of mothers: will going out and doing stuff make me feel better or will coming back to my growing to-do list make me feel worse?

Having suffered PND and anxiety in the past, and currently battling a chronic illness, this little printable has been a total godsend. Whether you are having the day from hell, or just feeling overtired from a few nights on the trot of teething and night waking, it just helps to focus on your for a brief second and a few minimal things you can do to make life easier and give something back.

A couple of years ago I read the book Buddhism for Mothers by Sarah Napthali and it made me realise how, in a tribeless society, the mechanics of motherhood are all wrong. We devote our days to giving, feeling and providing, constantly emptying our cups, with very little to fill them back up for us during the toughs days or weeks. We run on empty, and when we do that we lose sight of the small things (like those above) which have disproportionate affects on our mood: putting on a little make-up, having a glass or water, writing a list, putting on some music, getting outdoors...

So there is only one place that this little gem of a reminder sheet is going in my house and that’s inside the biscuit cupboard!
