You Better Take Time Out For Yourself When You Have Young Children I suggest to actually what you would call carving out time for yourself as the number one priority, because when you have a young child they pretty much take the stage.
So when they're sleeping, I think that might be a pretty good time to do it.
During their nap time you might want to have a more regular time to do any type of mindfulness meditation.
I really like the point with regards to not having a half hour or 60 minutes.
I do yoga for five minutes, do mindfulness meditation for two, or three, or four, or five minutes.
It doesn't have to be a 60-minute ordeal to just get a little bit of energy for yourself, and restore yourself back to a little bit higher level, because so many people are worried, "I don't have the 30, 60, 75, 90 minutes.
I'm not going to do it.
I don't have the time.
" I am a father twice over now, with a four-year-old and a six-month-old, and when our younger one naps, the times are very, very regular now.
There are definite patterns where she feeds, then she sleeps for two to three to four hours.
So if you can't find five minutes for yourself during those times, then it's going to be even tougher as they get older and things just keep piling up onto your schedule.
That's very, very crucial as a parent.
And also, you're only going to be able to give from a more replenished place if you make taking care of yourself the priority.
It's the same old story that you hear from everybody, "If you let yourself fall to pieces, how are you going to be there to take care of the children?" Of course, there times when we need to get some support ourselves, and having the pressures and stresses of little ones can be really overwhelming, but taking time out for yourself, even little tiny snippets, can be incredibly beneficial.
We need to take our own health, and our natural healthcare professionals that help us, as our central priority, and stop treating it as a peripheral priority like a lot of people do with their nutrition.
They do it with every other aspect of their life wellness, and I think that's the wrong approach.
We really need to start getting into our natural health and the people that are helping us, as being the central priority to living the life that we were meant to live.
