Being a mum can be overwhelming and stressful at times. It can be hard to manage raising children, running a household, perhaps working and looking after yourself all at the same time. A good parent knows that it is important to look after themselves as it has a positive flow on effect to the rest of the family.

I became acutely aware of this importance when I became a single mum. I realised that if I didn’t look after myself, then I could not look after my children. Afterall, there was no-one else there to pick up the slack.

Looking after yourself as a mum isn’t about putting your self-care needs above your child and neglecting them. It is about saying that you have an equal priority within your family and that your self-care directly benefits your children.
