Pillar #3

The speaker discusses the importance of self-care for parents raising children. They emphasize that taking care of oneself is essential for the growth and success of the child and the overall well-being of the family. The speaker acknowledges that many parents neglect their own needs and desires, leading to exhaustion and frustration. They assure parents that they can regain a sense of self and empower themselves by prioritizing self-care. The program helps parents identify their needs and provides guidance on incorporating self-care into their lives. Despite the challenges of finding time for self-care, the speaker emphasizes the importance of a mindset shift and making self-care a priority. By doing so, parents can create a happier and more fulfilling life for themselves and their families. And finally, let's bring you to the third pillar of our program, self-care. The importance of our own self-care tends to get lost amongst the endless to-do lists we're faced with by raising these children. We need to understand the integral role self-care plays toward our children's growth and success. By ensuring your own mental and physical health, you create stability and a happy environment for the child and the rest of your loved ones. If you've lost your sense of self along the way, you're not alone. By habitually placing your needs and desires to the back burner, exhaustion, frustration, and even resentment will fester. I hear this from parents more often than not. I just want to feel like myself again. And let me tell you this, you can. You most definitely can get at least a semblance of your old self if you allow it. Even that little bit can give you a reboot and a surge of empowerment by knowing you haven't lost what you've loved about yourself. Maintaining a healthy, robust, and positive mindset will give you the capacity to extend yourself to those that need you, and maybe even most importantly, to yourself. This is where we explore you. Re-identifying yourself within our program gets you the clarity that will pave the way on this path to bringing focus to your needs and then to tap into that as much as time and circumstance allows. Allow yourself to recognize what those needs may be, and that will essentially give you the ability to feel grounded in your sense of self. You'll be more content and fueled to face what the day may bring. Our program guides you through and beyond any feelings of guilt and doubt that may come along with prioritizing yourself. You'll understand and internalize the level of importance of your self-care. You're giving yourself the opportunity to create and put yourself on that priority list that will benefit everyone. Understandably, you'll most likely encounter the difficulty of carving out time for that self-care. That is one of the biggest challenges we face as we plan, advocate, and do everything we can to help these children develop into their best selves. So then how in the world am I magically conjuring the time to squeeze in my self-care? You can ask that question. There, you said it. Magic. Yes, the power of the mindset shift is exactly that. Once you give yourself the gift of awareness and allow a healthy change in your preconditioned thought processes, that'll only serve your growth and open doors. When you truly believe and understand what is important, you have the ability to navigate and shift old routines that fit your desired lifestyle a whole lot better. By uncovering the why's, what's, and how's of your self-care, you develop those mindset shifts that realign your beliefs around priorities and opportunities. You'll acknowledge the importance of accepting that self-care as a prioritized task on that to-do list and find a way to embed it into your lifestyle. You're giving you and your family the gift of a happy, recharged, wholesome version of you.
