It's okay to ask for help and prioritize selfcare from "summary" of Strong As a Mother by Kate Rope
As mothers, we often feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. We believe that we need to do it all, be it all, and handle it all on our own. But the truth is, it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to lean on others when the load feels too heavy. Prioritizing self-care is not selfish; it's essential. It's like the oxygen mask on an airplane - you have to put yours on before helping others. Taking care of yourself allows you to show up fully for your children and loved ones. It's about filling up your own cup so that you have more to give. Asking for help and prioritizing self-care can look different for every mother. It might mean reaching out to a friend or family member for support. It could involve scheduling regular "me time" to do something you enjoy. It may even require seeking professional help if you're struggling with your mental health. Remember, you don't have to do it all alone. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to put yourself first sometimes. By taking care of yourself, you're setting a positive example for your children. You're showing them that it's okay to prioritize their own well-being and seek support when needed. So, take a deep breath, mama. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to prioritize self-care. And it's okay to put yourself first.
