Single Mum self care day fail and a Mum chat vlog

Hello Friends,
This Saturday I thought I would have a self care day as I have had a mentally challenging week and feel I am heading for burnout. I thought I would take a little time for me to have a pamper and some self care before I do burnout altogether.
This did not go as planned, I became easily distracted, become very bored and ended up doing anything else but self care, if you are the same let me know in the comments.
Thank you for watching the video.

I used to struggle with self care and taking time for myself when my son was young. I had him 24/7 so I would feel guilty to have time away from him.
Since my burnout and having therapy I started to understand how bad those habits were for me. I'm learning to switch off and do something I enjoy. Take care. Getting busy is not self care is masking the anxiety ❤

[@Solomumtoone]

I really do struggle, I can always find something to do. It is a bad habit I need to work on. I also find it hard to find something I enjoy as all the things I used to enjoy before my son was born is no longer an option. Thank you for your kind words you have brought things to my attention that I do need to work on x

[@Solomumtoone]

It's not always easy is it x

[@MumLifeAndMore]

I think my form of self care is doing my workouts x

[@Solomumtoone]

I agree my early morning workouts do set me up for the day and make me feel more relaxed for the day xx

[@MumLifeAndMore]

Your evenings sound like ours atm 😅xx

[@Solomumtoone]

Maybe it is the light nights, I even tried moving his bedtime later but didn't help x

[@JayStar-yj9pu]

Maybe do PUT DOWN THE DAMNED PHONE-CARE Day?!?

[@Solomumtoone]

That is a good idea

[@karenlavery4463]

Hi your sounds out of sink,why do you get up at 4.30 no wonder your knacked xxx❤❤❤

[@Sonja...]

I was wondering the same

[@Solomumtoone]

I get up and workout plus I can get a lot done before my son wakes up which means I get to spend more time in the morning with me son before school without rushing x

[@MumLifeAndMore]

What's downtime again...😅

[@Solomumtoone]

Haha a rarity x
