    About this ebook

    Isn’t it selfish to make time for you?

    Nope. Actually, it’s selfish to abandon yourself for the sake of others.

    And habitual self-abandonment can make formerly content, competent moms feel resentful, discouraged, and chronically unhappy. So don’t deprive others of getting to know and love your calmest, happiest, most integrated self.

    Making time for you is crucial for every mom trying to navigate the complex and constantly evolving role of mother. And because no two moms are exactly alike, The Art Of Making Time For Yourself presents multiple approaches to finding more time for you.

    If you are struggling to juggle all of your responsibilities and identities as a mom, this collection of helpful inspiration will help you factor yourself back into the happy family equation.

    Moms who read this book will gain:

    • 145 tips for creating more you-time
    • 16 must-have books to inspire self-care
    • 50 recommended movies featuring a momcentric point of view
    • 60 self-reflection questions
    • Lists for stocking your home spa and portable hobby bag
    • A variety of approaches for making the most of your time, no matter how much time you have

    Reclaim your personal power and create more day-to-day happiness and satisfaction without neglecting your responsibilities as a parent.

    This book fulfills a longtime dream of mine to create a definitive guide about making time for yourself after fourteen years of writing on the topic.

    This book makes a great gift for a mom-to-be or a new mom, for a mom who is choosing to stay home with her kids, or for a mom who is trying to juggle work and home life, for a WAHM, and even for a veteran mom with kids in school or leaving the nest.

    Thanks for telling all your mom friends about The Art Of Making Time For Yourself. Let’s start a movement of cheerful, relaxed moms who can express ourselves our individuality clearly and joyfully!

      Introduction To Making Time For Yourself

      Isn’t it selfish to make time for yourself?

      Nope. Actually, it’s selfish to abandon yourself for the sake of others. And habitual self-abandonment can make even formerly content, competent moms feel resentful, discouraged, and chronically unhappy. So don’t deprive others of getting to know and love your calmest, happiest, most integrated self.

      Making time for yourself is crucial for every mom trying to navigate the complex and constantly evolving role of mother. And because no two moms are exactly alike, this book presents multiple approaches to help you find time for you.

      Making time for yourself isn't a destination either; it's a doorway to a healthier relationship with yourself and others. Time for you is like the doorway back to yourself.

      We are living in hyper-social times, and one of the benefits of spending quality time with yourself is that it helps you feel centered, which makes it easier for you to feel at ease in relation to others. Moms who don't spend enough quality time with themselves may suffer from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and self-abuse.

      We need to ditch any outdated ideas of women in which our worth is equal to the degree to which we sacrifice ourselves for other peoples’ needs. This is no longer what the world requires from women. You can’t come from a place of power and be an equal player if you are coming from a depleted state of self-sacrifice.

      Being a resentful martyr is out. Self-awareness and self-expression are in. And both are not only allowed they are welcome in a world that is desperate for your unique contribution. What the world needs now is for every woman to discover herself, so she can discover what she has to offer the world.

      Free yourself from the tyranny of self-recrimination first and then spread the word to every woman you know. Encourage every mom to make time for herself. Let’s start a movement of happy moms who know who we are and express ourselves in the world clearly, joyfully, and without hesitation. This book will show you how.

      Chapter I. Mompower Mantras For The Whole Family’s Sake

      In case of an emergency landing on a plane, we are instructed to put our own air masks on before assisting our children. We hear this advice so often, it eventually becomes like a mantra we repeat to ourselves as soon as we board an aircraft.

      But how often in the midst of hectic times in our lives do we jettison all the healthy self-talk rather than repeating it to ourselves when we need it most?

      For busy moms, the answer is all too often. Enter these ten mompower mantras to help you remember the magic words that can quickly restore order and sanity in your life no matter how much hustle and bustle you are facing today.

      So sit yourself down and commit these phrases to memory.

      I Am Allowed To Say ‘No Thanks.’ If you feel harried and hectic, running from one family activity to the next, you may have forgotten how to bow out gracefully. All you likely need is a little practice in the no-thank-you department. Once you get back in the habit of weighing and measuring before you commit, your schedule will calm down and you can better choose how to divide and conquer your time. Just remember, in times of distress, the cure is often the shortest word you
