HOW I PRIORITISE SELF CARE IN MY DAILY ROUTINE .

---

Despite my busy schedule as a mother, I always ensure that caring for myself too is a priority, I carried out some activities to keep me fit, for example ;

I always have enough sleep to keep me balance, taking care of a new born baby always deprive one of a quality sleep, but I always try to sleep especially when my baby is asleep, I don't use to do other house chores when it is sleeping time, so sleep is very important for me and it helps to keep me healthy and sound.

I also ensure I eat healthy foods that contains all the nutrients essential to human health, good food helps the body to be healthy and it doesn't allow me to get sick .

Rest is good too, sometimes I do take some rest from working, I may not necessarily sleep but just relaxing and calming myself down helps a lot

Exercise is another important thing I do to make sure that I take care of myself, I do take a walk down the street because that's the most easiest one I could do for now.
