Reclaim yourself

Some of the people I work with – particularly Mum’s have lost a sense of who they are. They’ve been working in the roles of wife and mother for so long they’ve forgotten who they used to be all those years ago. They rarely get time to do something just for them. Always thinking about someone else other than themselves or feeling guilty if they do.

Who were they before they became a wife and mother? What did they used to enjoy? Have things worked out as they’d planned? That said, I don’t think there are many of us who planned our lives and then find that things worked out as expected. Life has a way of happening just when we don't expect it.

If you’re a working mum, a busy mum or a dad for that matter – have you lost a sense of who you are? In fact this could be applied to most people who get stuck in the day to day routine. Reclaim yourself. Take some time out this week to do something you really enjoy and haven’t done in a while. Think about something you’ve always wanted to learn or try and enrol on a course or book it up. Get your partner, family and friends involved in doing something new.

Think about yourself this week.
