The best give a Mum can give herself

I read an article recently about what the best gift a mum can give herself and the writer suggested 'Boundaries".....what an AHA moment.

With boundaries we can get in control of lives and step off the mouse wheel. As mum's we are constantly busy with every part of our children's lives, the husband's needs, the running of the house, keeping up with social engagements, nurturing friendships, exercising, cooking dinner, working a full time/part time job and trying to look our best everyday. At some point, we need to put on the breaks and STOP!

Boundaries are the answer. When I really think about it, we are in control of our busyness. We make the choices to fit it all in. I battle with boundaries all the time. However, I have created a sign to hang up on the fridge to remind me that Boundaries is the gift I give to myself every day!
