Don’t Burn Out, Take Care of Yourself

Parenting can be hard work, and without consistent self-care parents can easily and quickly burn out. Taking care of yourself makes you better equipped to take care of those you love.    When you fly on an airplane, the flight attendant instructs you to “put your oxygen mask on first,” before helping others.    Why is this an important rule for ensuring survival?  Because if you run out of oxygen yourself, you can’t help anyone else with their oxygen mask.    Making self-care a priority is not only a gift to yourself but more importantly to everyone in your life.    In this episode I share a mind blowing question that will help you put your selfcare first.   If you want more info on “The TONED BY BEST BODY 6 WEEK PROGRAM”, please join our facebook group “Selfcare by Best Body” here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/875768876313462/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/875768876313462/]   Connect with Me: * Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwescombe/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwescombe/] * Website: https://bestbody.com.au [https://bestbody.com.au] * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottjwescombe/ [https://www.facebook.com/scottjwescombe/]  * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottwescombe/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/scottwescombe/?hl=en]  * Twitter: https://twitter.com/scottwescombe?lang=en [https://twitter.com/scottwescombe?lang=en]  * Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUB1l-XL-zc4OzgJowop9CA/about [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUB1l-XL-zc4OzgJowop9CA/about]
