Finding time for self-care can be a challenge because babies require a lot from their caregivers. While it is a parent's job to give energy and resources to their children, at the end of the day parents also need sleep and other basic and not-so-basic needs in order to do so in a healthy and happy way. If you are feeling trapped, exhausted, resentful, or frustrated as a new parent- take it as a warning. Self-care can be spiritual, physical and/or mental. If you can figure out a way to fill all three cups daily, please share with a fellow parent how you do so. I'd love to know how you do self-care! Parenting is hard work. Asking for help does not make you a failure, it makes you stronger. Let's start a parenting self-care revolution! One solo Target trip at a time. One glass of wine and a bubble bath at a time. One trip out to dinner with friends at a time. You are worth it.

If there's anything here on Earth that I want right now, you will be surprised I don't know it. I don't know what I want anymore. There are days when I am craving for some food or missing a person or a place. Today I don't feel anything. I am just not up to anything. I am unsure if it's because for so long I have longed to visit a place or speak to someone I wanted to talk to but for some reason good luck kept avoiding for that to happen.
