Congratulate yourself for everything you have accomplished in 2011! If you’re unsure why you deserve such praise, read on!

As a busy mum (and let’s face it you are!) you should be able to acknowledge and feel proud about everything you do for your family. Whether you’re expecting a baby, raising a young family or you are now a bit of a pro with a brood of teenagers, you will undoubtedly be giving your very best to your children and it is for this you should feel immensely proud. Recognise how much you do to enrich the lives of your family.

If you take some time to reflect on the last week, you would be astounded by everything you achieved without realising it!

Quality time spent having fun with your children
Nurturing your child’s development and confidence
The school run
Ferrying your kids to extracurricular activities
Shopping for healthy dinner options
Filling your family with 5-a-day, every day
Catching up with your extended family
Attending to work commitments
Managing a household budget
Keeping on top of housework
Taming the ironing pile

And the list goes on! And of course, there are the timely and untimely jobs to attend to, such as collating home insurance quotes or booking the car into the garage to repair its failing clutch! You may have had to collect your child from school in the middle of the day because of a tummy bug – and then spent the rest of the day nursing a sick child. You may have had to deal with an issue at nursery or school involving your child. You may have had to drop everything to visit an elderly relative who needed your help and support.

Life can seem like one long journey of never-ending jobs and responsibilities! Yet can you see how resilient you are? You are such an amazing woman; juggling everything you are faced with on a daily, often relentless basis. What an inspiration!

After considering everything you do for your family, do you believe you can justify some ‘me time’? Time to chill out, recharge and gain focus. Don’t you agree this would work wonders to help you reconnect with the real you?

Self-care is vital: it energises you, increases your happiness and kick-starts your lust for life. As importantly it will make you more amenable, which will have a massive impact on the relationship you have with your family!

So, celebrate how fantastic you really are and allow yourself the opportunity to enjoy some time out to recapture your inner sparkle! You deserve it!
