From the moment we become moms, our time is no longer our own. As women, we're often socialized to be nurturers, prioritizing others' needs. This leads to overwhelming mental loads that are exhausting and invisible.
Emotional labor includes the constant mental checklist we manage daily, from planning meals to ensuring the kids are ready for activities. This cycle is demanding and may cause guilt for not doing enough as a mom.
Investing time in yourself isn't selfish; when you're fulfilled and rested, you're a better version of yourself for your family. Focus on one or two realistic goals to help reclaim your time.
Remember: "No" is a full sentence. You don't owe explanations for setting boundaries. Prioritizing your goals and making time for yourself enhances your ability to care for your loved ones.
