Today, I brought my son to work out with me instead of using him as an excuse not to go. š¤
Because the truth is, motherhood can make it really easy to put ourselves last. There will always be a reason we canāt make time for ourselves.
But I want my kids to grow up seeing that taking care of yourself is important, too.
I want them to see me moving my body, making healthy choices, and building habits that make me feel good ā not because Iām chasing perfection, but because Iām showing them what it looks like to prioritize your health.
And maybe someday, theyāll understand that self-care isnāt selfish. Itās part of taking care of the people we love, too. š«¶š¼
So today, he came with me. It wasnāt perfect, it wasnāt uninterrupted, and it definitely wasnāt my best workout š ā but we showed up.
And that counts. šŖš¼
