I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!
Personally, I’m going into this year not with resolution, but with a word mantra of sorts: slow.
This year, I want to slow it all down. Put the phone down. Take better care of myself —physically, mentally, emotionally— and my relationships. Sit down and eat a meal with my husband, even if it’s in our PJs. Enjoy more time with friends. Take the time. Slow it down.
I’m hoping that if I can do this, I’ll be a better parent. More focused. More intentional. More fun. Slower. I figure it’s my version of 2020 self care. To that end, we’ll kick off a short series next week called Self Care Is Good Parenting, and we’ll focus on the many ways parents practice self-care, and how to do it better, especially during the time-starved days when your kids are young.
If you have any thoughts or questions, please let me know, as always, at katea@huffpost.com.
Until next week,
Kate
