Self-care isn't just a trendy word that is floating about at the moment, it's a real thing that we all need to be making time for daily.
Being aware of and looking after my mental wellbeing is something I've spent the last few years doing a lot of and one thing I've come to realise about self-care is that it isn't just about making time for spa days or sitting around reading books, it's fundamentally about keeping a healthy mindset and knowing the things that we can each day with little to no time to suit our often fast-paced, fully packed lives, especially as parents! It's a known fact that keeping a positive mindset allows us to attract positivity into our lives. You may well have heard of the the law of attraction and this is the basis for it.
With all of that in mind, here are five vital rules I live by to help me to try and keep positive mental wellbeing, I hope they will also be helpful to you!
