* Maintain a healthy diet, even if you feed everyone else first don’t forget to feed yourself and don’t deprive yourself of food groups.

* Make time for yourself, 15 minutes each day to relax and distress.

* Get enough sleep each night, don’t stay up all night doing dishes and scrubbing floors they can wait until tomorrow.

* Go to the doctor and get a regular check up as well as when your sick, moms tend to not get their own medical care.

* Go out and make friends! Mom needs a social life too.

* Don’t lead a guilty life, you can’t do everything for everybody all the time, and it’s not your fault.

* Doing things for yourself will improve not only your mood but your overall health and wellness.

* Feed your brain, take a class, pick up a how to book, learning something new prevents that burnt out “just mom” feeling.

* Pamper your body, feeling good on the outside helps us feel more confident. The kids got cool hair gel, why shouldn’t you?

* Make a date, if you can get a sitter or send the kids to grandmas once a month having a date night is a great way to treat yourself and your other half at the same time.

* Neglecting yourself only leads to things like depression and illness. You can take care of others and yourself at the same time.

* Caring for yourself shows your family that you care about them to because you want to be with them for a long time!
