We all need reminding sometimes...

It is OK if your energy is low. It is OK to cancel going out because you just aren't in the mood. It is OK to eat a bar of chocolate and enjoy it. It is OK to give the gym a miss. It is OK to breathe a deep breath and be grateful when the children have gone to bed after a long day and you have peace.

We all have days when our energy is low, these are the days when we need to listen to our bodies even more so, this is a warning sign. A large dose of self care is needed, if you need to cuddle up under the blanket on the sofa with a good film and a cuppa then go for it. Pop a film on for the children so you can have a nice cuppa in peace and don't feel guilty - you'll be a much more relaxed parent afterwards!
