Becoming Myself

Becoming myself. Becoming who I was meant to be. Becoming what is expected.
My dear, I just don't find that becoming... Becoming hair. Becoming clothes. Becoming behavior. Becoming appearances.

I look at my children every day, and they amaze me. One of them seems exceptionally musical. Begs me to play specific songs in the car over and over. As she mouths words that are not yet part of her vocabulary, she bobs her head to the beat. When I turn around to watch, she shyly acknowledges me, and then with firmness tells me, "Don't peek, mommy. Don't peek." She dances in a class with girls twice her age. People are drawn to her everywhere we go. Isn't she cute? Isn't she smart? She's so articulate. How old is she? I find her comforting in my darkest moments as I hear words I have said to her out of love and concern come back to me. She understands them. She knows how to use them just as I do. Her big blue eyes light up every room with a combination of sweetness and a knowingness that only the oldest of souls might achieve, leaving you to wonder if she is eight or eighty-three. She is two.

My son is an emotional ride. Sheer joy and wonderment at the newness of every experience. Bright eyed and enthusiastic. High, High, High... until the devastation. Huge tears and frustration mixed with passion and anger. Defeated in the sheer futility of it all. Light and dark. Yin and Yang. Sandwiched around the tendency to whine. The light I love, the dark I contain as we wait for the next dawn. The whining I gently redirect into conversation about his favorite topic, how things work. Ceiling fans, cars, key fobs and clocks. The sun and the moon... one appearing as the other dims. He points out light bulbs that need to be changed and follows the repairman, the gardener, the plumber as they fix the world's problems one at a time. He remembers events, colors and details long after a child might forget and has taken to reading manuals. Pouring over the diagrams and instructions, becoming discouraged only when we see one begin to disintegrate and remove it. Surely, we might need to know how our used Honda works one day too. While watching him on the floor, turning pages of my grown up books he has pulled off the shelves, he looks up from a sea of type face with a thoughtful glance of bafflement and concern and confides in me that he isn't yet able to read. He is three.

And I think I might be raising two prodigies. Really I do. I think that it is possible. No, definitely probable that they are unique and exceptional in ways that it is only a matter of time will be revealed to the world. They are perfect. They were conceived and then born perfectly. Perfect just as they are. Perfect even in their imperfection. But then I stop myself. I certainly don't share my suspicions. For one, what if I am wrong? How embarrassing. Or better yet, who am I to presume such a thing?

I am reminded of myself. "Who do you think you are?" Who do I think I am? Who am I? Who am I becoming? Becoming a friend. Becoming a wife. Becoming a mother. Becoming myself. But, is it becoming? I mean, God forbid I walk out of step, sing the wrong note, write the wrong word. Straight hair. Thin. Well mannered. Well spoken... Maybe even well bred.
Now, that's becoming.

Wow, bullet dodged. I finally fit back into my wedding dress, my prom dress, my first day of first grade dress. Tight... tighter... tightest.
And then I look at their little faces: their beautiful, perfect faces, and I think maybe, just maybe, I will give them a gift.

Women, the Amazing Species

 

March 8 is International Women's Day and suddenly all the world's attention is on them. The world celebrates women on this day- the amazing female species whose hearts are tugged in a lot of common places but are most times filled with love.
She, whose smiles can melt a heart or with a single touch heal an aching wound; She, with that heart of hers, ready to give away anytime for a child she bore; She, who loves unconditionally- the silly nothings of love; She, who takes care of a plant in unbelievable ways; She who remembers occasions- birthdays, anniversaries or any other important dates; She, who counts her joyful days, thinks of days past, picks memories and treasures them; She, whose tears always trickle with emotions even in ordinary places; She, whose heart even goes out for a stranger in the street or whose voice can calm a lost child.
The world celebrates her- the woman whose presence makes so much sense in this place. And it talks about her dreams and ambitions. For a change, her concerns and issues are important, things which barely steal the limelight other days and they talk about her amazing ways, how the world will always need her.
They think of her, perhaps some of them are even looking for ways to make her day. Well, it's easy to make her smile if you ask me because she cares even for the simple and sometimes silly things in life. She's got this heart that melts easy in the face of circumstances. And she will never forget a kind gesture. You know there is always space for many small details in her. There are days you just know she will be there for you.
But she is fragile; often an emotional fool who takes petty silly things seriously as others may think but she cares deeply for the outmost things. She will laugh or cry easily and she will even get into the skin of other people's problems and heartaches but she knows exactly how it feels to be hurt or broken.
Yes, she is the amazing kind and all the seeming silly things find their worth in her presence. And that is why the world's a nicer place because without her, things will never be the same.
But the world forgets that a lot of times her smiles are stained with pain.
That she could be daring through another day for the sake of her child, for the sake of keeping a family, a home together. And her silent tears are forgotten, often overshadowed by larger problems of the society.
As she bears another day of violence, who knows the pangs of that woman who makes a house a home? Who hears her cries of vulnerability as spaces of our surroundings get filthy with selfish desires? Who cares for her safe return from work or place of learning?
As she faces another day of a crime-witnessed world, where is the hand of justice that assures her of safer days ahead? And as she hears it over and over again, of equality that makes equal divides, of gender equality that propagates equal opportunities, where is the place for her to stand and give her voice? Why do they think her incapable of being a leader? Where is the equality?
She receives her praises for being the good housewife, for the greater achievements of her better half, the simple proof that she's good at more than being a mother or a housewife but where is the chance for her to prove herself?
It's really an honour that they celebrate women today. But celebrating International Women's Day would make more sense if issues close to a woman's heart are taken up seriously rather than mere appreciation for what she does.

How to Buy A Charm Bracelet

Appeal wristbands are one bit of adornments that never genuinely goes out of style. In unanticipated times, charms were made of creature bones or shells and were utilized as an intends to ward off awful fortunes or shrewdness spirits. Anyway the times of charms being utilized as good fortunes special necklaces are long gone. These days, numerous appeal wrist trinkets are made of silver or gold and are ornamented with numerous charms that can convey what needs be or speak to imperative occasions in the life of the individual wearing them. If acquiring charms for yourself or as a blessing, there are an arrangement of things that you might as well remember throughout the methodology.

1. Know Whether the Person Already Have A Charm Bracelet

In the event that you are buying a blessing, appeal arm ornaments are extraordinary. At the same time the first thing you have to know before purchasing is if the planned beneficiary recently has an appeal arm ornament or an armlet that can oblige charms. We realize that charms speak to uncommon occasions, so off and on again we can simply purchase an appeal if the individual recently has an appeal wristband. Two singe arm ornaments may be excessively. However in the event that the individual does not have an armlet to wear your appeal, then you have to think about an appeal wrist trinket. Be that as it may, some individuals might as of recently own an arm jewelery which is now loaded with charms. So make certain to affirm that there is open space on the planned armlet and that the appeal can really be worn. My counsel is to buy an arm jewelery to run with the appeal if all else fails.

2. Pick A Bracelet Chain That the Charm Need to Fit

An arm jewelery chain is the establishment of an appeal arm ornament and the essential chain comes in two primary sorts: open connection chains and strong connection chains. Each one sort has its own particular notable style of charms and it is for the most part not a great thought to buy charms for one kind of armlet fasten to attempt to fit on the other sort. Notwithstanding let me explain the two sorts of chains and their charms.

Open Link Bracelet Chains

An open connection arm jewelery is made up of an arrangement of ovals or rings connected with one another. This chain is exceptionally adaptable and reasonably solid. Each one connection has a great deal of open space where the charms might be joined to, which implies that charms may swing from the connection, yet won't slide along the arm ornament. Also, this prepares the dangling impact that most individuals like.

Charms for Open Link Bracelet Chains

When you have resolved on an open connection wristband chain, then you have to choose which charms to buy. Charms suitable for an open connection armlet are regularly made in little and sculptural that look like modest metal puppets. Regularly, these charms are basically plain metal that could be painted or studded with precious stones. Furthermore, these charms can likewise be even, yet at the same time made to be extremely illustrative of things, pastimes, or occasions.

Strong Link Bracelet Chains

Strong connection wristband ties are normally made up of level plates that are fitted together, which gives the chain a smooth, line like presence that is to a degree less adaptable than an open connection chain. These chains are by and large much more diminutive in breadth thus obliges a larger amount of craftsmanship.

Charms for Solid Link Bracelet Chains

Charms for this sort of wristband are, typically, dabs which are more constrained as far as shapes and agent figures when contrasted and metal. Notwithstanding, these charms frequently join glasswork, precious stones into their outlines. A few charms are even intended to have littler charms hanging off them to make an accepted appeal arm ornament look. Since these charms have a tendency to be less illustrative, they are incredible for typical endowments. Shaded precious stones can speak to a birthday or commemoration and fancy dots can help an individual to remember a particular memory. So charms like this are an impeccable decision for the individuals who need a more rich, clean look to their appeal wristband.

3. Pick A Theme

It is exhorted that you may as well have a subject as a main priority before you begin purchasing, so you don't wind up with an arbitrary heap of charms that don't cooperate. Your subject could be either expansive or slender. You can assemble a wristband that loaded with recognitions of one or two unique get-aways. Then again you can make a wrist trinket of charms identified with your calling, or one of all jeweled charms or all hearts or all creatures or all zodiac charms. Everything relies on upon the wearer's inclination.

4. Search Around

Looking to look at the costs is a great thought which can provide for you the best deal. When you settle on a choice, first look in a mixture of shops, both online and in individual. Chain retailers may offer strength cuts and may assist you through the methodology, however online retailers frequently offer an easier cost.

5. A few Tips

Check the diamond setter's permit before making the choice;

Purchasing from the stores may be considerably more ensured, however shopping online can spare you much cash;

When you need to purchase one internet, checking different purchasers' audits on this item and this merchant might be of incredible assistance;

Purchase charms that speak to what diversions the beneficiary preferences or the work that she does;

Get the right length.

Sports Changing the Face of Feminism: A Masculine Look of Sochi 2014

Right from this occasions involving our start, or maybe from the moment My spouse and i did start to understand issues all around me personally, I've generally resided while using the conceiving in addition to speaking in the sort which is in which "God located Adam being on it's own in addition to alone, thus he / she afforded Adam a woman (Eve) being his / her partner. inch Thus two people have been truly designed, however certainly 1 was created along with 1 lib in the other. Possibly it is a good reason to convey these are lagging, however identical to the sort, there is also a term that we grew up along with which is truly compared in doing what this sort has imagined me personally which is in which: what ever a person is able to do, a woman can a couple better.

Possibly this is appropriate mainly because we have now women of all ages in all of the career fields involving existence doing the same thing adult males are doing and they also are most often in command of this contemporary society in order to the perfect involving our knowing since they are dealt with along with better inclination. When you doubt me personally, you then should observe it is appropriate for girl hitting a person in many instances and be regarded as absolutely nothing, however a woman currently being attack by a guy truly countries the man within trouble. On the other hand, feminism of this nature are already accounted for in the american countries, contrary to this Arabic in addition to Cameras entire world where adult males even now control women of all ages within violent ways in addition to get no cost.

What exactly is interesting can be in which sports activities could be modifying this kind of experience. Right from this unset, Paris has lot in order to persuade the planet. They are not this soviet prior, rather these are the present democracy; likely not this manly in addition to domineering contemporary society; rather they will understand the character involving growing people all around; not to mention that they may properly host entire world sports activities like the Olympics without the get worried. Properly they have been productive within doing most of these along with a different included flavoring that is certainly launching the primary actually "women atmosphere jumping" which usually women of all ages never was within more than three months many years.

Hey, avoid being overly enthusiastic by in which, you must be aware that this kind of success don't appear in these kinds of relieve, rather it absolutely was seldom conducted by women including individuals looking over this and also the struggle held up more than ages.

Thus, We are beginning to understand in addition to feel that sports activities is basically interacting in addition to marketing modify, feminism, equal rights in addition to gender unity. Ladies is able to do any situation that adult males is able to do. There're in the armed service, these are frontrunners, they also experienced slavery including adult males, these are in our homes, the colleges, areas, international locations in addition to every part of our own lifestyles. So just why perform they should always be overlooked occasionally? I'm sure what Paris and also the Olympics board did is an excellent cultural modify project in

which areas, areas, companies, in addition to family affixing women of all ages along with some sense involving inferiority should study on. Most individuals on this planet right now are goods involving women of all ages. That they afforded start in order to governors, presidents, senators and so on, still these are even now currently being overlooked in most contemporary society? That is certainly absolutely unfair and also the entire world has to research in order to Paris in this check out with regards to Sochi 2014. It is now time that girls across the world ought to be regard in addition to accorded the appropriate holders in the contemporary society along with equal rights in addition to fairness. And all women of all ages world wide, you possibly can struggle for 60 many years with out winning this battle, however people who conducted with the women of all ages atmosphere leaping can be asking to try one more time. Yes! Never ever stop trying! The particular modify ought to be built however you then have a role in order to engage in.

The Power Paradox

Force is a common a piece of life. We all have it and we can't escape utilizing it. Be that as it may there are paramount force inconsistencies we have to overcome when we wish to live and work in an equalized, reasonable and fair world. 

One force inconsistency we have to overcome is that the aptitudes most significant to getting force are the precise same abilities that begin to succumb to once we have power. Dacher Keltner, creator of The Power Paradox, says that research demonstrates once individuals expect positions of force, they are less averse to act egotistically, hastily and even combatively, and those in force regularly have a harder time seeing the world from other individuals' perspectives. 

An alternate disagreement we have to overcome is that despite the fact that power is intrinsic within each one of us, it has a tendency to be connected with men and male predominance. Dr. Elizabeth Debold, establishing part of the Project on Women's Psychology and Girls' Development at Harvard, says that power has turned into a male gendered word. She says this is in light of the fact that we've been existing in a male prevailing society for quite some time, and command has been a driver of our society. 

A third force disagreement we have to overcome is that dissimilar to men, most ladies have a profound situated hesitance to venture into their energy. Debold says when ladies work for accepted top-down male managers, they encounter issues of force. Ladies aren't accustomed to seeing themselves as effective so they are undecided about having and utilizing force. 

An alternate disagreement we have to overcome is that when ladies venture into their energy, they regularly feel defenseless and shaky while men don't. For instance, Cheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook and a standout amongst the most effective ladies on the planet, says she has inconvenience considering herself compelling or having the sort of force that she does. 

A last power disagreement we have to overcome is that the more excellent triumph men have (as in adroitness, power, and initiative), the more likeable others think they are. Yet the more victory a lady has, the less likeable she is observed to be. Debold says we have a tendency to view compelling men as physically capable, influential through appeal and moxy, effective through splendor, or effective through hostility. Yet we have a tendency to view influential ladies as sexually provocative or tyrannical. 

While its basic we defeat these conundrums together, its particularly discriminating for ladies to work through them. Debold says when ladies change and advance, society changes and advances, as well. In the 1960s when ladies started to work outside the home, join the military, work in media, and take control of their regenerative decisions, ladies changed and the whole world changed right in addition to them. Much the same as in the 60s, ladies should at the end of the day venture into their energy on the grounds that this will carry a feeling of plausibility for another and better world. 

With a specific end goal to help ladies venture into their energy, we all requirement to reframe the way we view power. Debold says as opposed to seeing power in the traditional sense as predominance or mastery over others, we have to begin survey control as "being capable." If we view control as "being capable," ladies will feel good going into their energy and heading nearby men. 

Force is an ordinary a piece of life and its characteristic in every last one of us. However men and ladies much the same requirement to comprehend and overcome its numerous inconsistencies to carry parity, equitability and value to our reality. 

Debbie L. Kasman is writer of the book Lotus of the Heart: Reshaping the Human and Collective Soul and she writes week after week about themes that relate to otherworldly existence, training and female authority

How Women's Lube Can Save Your Marriage

Women lube, or vaginal lubricant, is a topical treatment for vaginal dryness. It makes no difference what causes this dryness, whether it is stress or depression, although the most common cause is the menopause. During this period in a woman's life, her reproductive system shuts down. She stops ovulating, her monthly periods, or menstruation, stops and the gland that secretes the lubricant that keeps her vagina moist, particularly when she is ready for sexual intimacy, also shuts down.

The result of all of this is to reduce or even terminate the need for intimacy, the libido rapidly drops away and the woman begins to fail to react to stimulation. Most of all, the vaginal area is dry, so that sexual intercourse becomes painful. When this happens a women has some choices to make: whether simply to give up sex altogether with the accompanying effect on her relationship with her partner, to grin and bear the pain, while not enjoying sex in the slightest, to see her doctor or to use some form of lubrication.

Let's examine each of these briefly. To just give up is fine for a single woman, but not if she is married or has a regular partner. The menopause kicks in at around 52 years old on average, and no man of that age would be happy to have his sex life terminated then. So much so, in fact, that the relationship would be highly likely to break down. The result: a separation at best, or a divorce at worst.

Grin and bear it? That is not really an option, because a woman can put up with pain for only so long, and in any case her partner would start to wonder what he is doing wrong. It is obvious when a woman is not entering into a sexual relationship wholeheartedly. Questions would be asked, and the choice would be reduced to one of the other three.

You could refer to your physician, and if you have this problem and are not of menopausal age, then you must do so to determine the cause. However, let's assume that your problem is the same as that of over 60 million other women, and is caused by the menopause. Your doctor will likely recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It is the standard response and many women use it.

However, HRT has a question lying over it in respect of the possibility of it contributing to breast cancer, and there are other problems associated with hormone treatment - any form of hormone treatment. You might be prepared to carry on with HRT regardless, but first listen to the alternative women lube solution.

Lubrication, in the form of what is colloquially known as women lube, is the best option for a woman to take. It can take the form of a simple lubricant that reduces the friction but does nothing to help with the loss of libido that many people experience during their menopausal years. It also doesn't help much to stimulate you.

However, there are natural lubricant solutions that can help with all of these problems, and not only give you back your enjoyment of intimate relations with your partner, but can also save the partnership. There are no doubts that the correct women lube choice can save your marriage.

How to Get A Youthful And Radiant Wrinkle Free Skin

Imagine that we lived in a world where just one pill would reboot our bodies and restore our health in a matter of minutes? Wouldn't that be great? Until the science provides us with that kind of magic solution, all we are being left is our will to retain our youthful appearance and the reliance on various products that will aid in our efforts to do so.

If you do not like watching old photos just because they remind you how much the time has changed your face and body from the outside, then you can relax knowing that there are products on the market that can take a few years if not decades from your face in just a short period of time.

Although the natural aging process kicks off when we are in our late twenties, the first visible markers of the aging show up when we are in our mid-thirties. You will notice them around the eyes, and every time you frown, you smile, or you make a facial expression, this will be imprinted on your skin. This is all due to the fact that after our thirties, the elastin and collagen in our skin are dramatically reduced, so the skin loses its ability to spring back in its original form, thus the lines and wrinkles start to appear. When we are young, these lines can be seen as we make grimaces, however they disappear as soon as we relax our facial muscles. As the skin ages, the elastin decreases, and the lines stay put around the eyes and the mouth.

However, you cannot blame everything on the memories and the events that have marked your life. The extrinsic factors of aging such as sun damage, stress, smoking, climate changes, poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle also contribute to the depth of these wrinkles. In addition to the crow's feet, living the life in the fast lane contributes to the creation of dark circles and bags under the eyes.

However, a high quality anti-wrinkle anti-aging product can transform your body, your skin, and your entire being as well. In order to work its magic, a high quality anti-wrinkle facial cream needs to be packed with two things: a combination of a few natural ingredients and a scientific proof that these ingredients can truly transform your skin from within. As a matter of fact, every anti-aging anti-wrinkle cream on the market claims to have propensity to reduce the wrinkles and erase the fine lines, however only a few of these creams are substantiated with a scientific proof that validates their real efficiency on the skin.

When you are on the lookout for good anti-wrinkle facial creams, narrow down your search to products that are specially developed for the areas around the eyes. The skin is very thin and delicate there, so you need creams that will add texture and puff up this area. These creams are usually enriched with Vitamin K and Retinol (a form of vitamin A), as these vitamins have properties that boost up the circulation of fluids around the area of the eye cavity. This leads to diminished dark circles under the eyes and a healthy look of the skin.

Using Lactic Acid Peels For Hyperpigmintation

HYPERPIGMENTATION DEFINED

Hyperpigmentation is best defined as the relative darkening of the entire region or a patch of skin due to increased melanin concentration. To further elaborate melanin is predominantly a pigmentation producing component in humans which is responsible for the colour of the skin. Melanocytes produce melanin and when they overproduce the pigment darkening of the skin happens. Melanocytes are cells which are located in the lower layers of your skin. Statistics indicate that ethnic groups with a darker skin tone like Africans are more prone to hyperpigmentation as compared to lighter skin individuals.

THE PREFERENCE

Although hyperpigmentation can occur anywhere, the preferred regions of the body could well include the face, body or even the hands. Concurrently the region of the chest can also be affected in those who are exposed to sunlight.

THE CHOICE

If you have been afflicted with hyperpigmentation, it could well be both embarrassing and disconcerting and you would evidently like to reverse the process as quickly as possible. Some of the other reasons for hyperpigmentation can include pregnancy, trauma or hormonal imbalance in the body. This patchy darkening of the skin is best treated using an array of modalities like bleaching or even exfoliation. While the former is more temporary, exfoliation is arguably the preferred option.

LACTIC ACID PEELS FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION

Lactic acid is one of the most gentle and effective chemical peel, thus it continues to be widely used for treating hyperpigmentation. Exfoliation is essentially the peeling off and destruction of the superficial layer of skin thus revealing clear and unblemished skin underneath. Lactic acid is definitely the preferred option although the number of applications required may well vary from one to many. The number of applications that you would need to undertake will depend on numerous factors such as your age, the cause of hyperpigmentation and even the depth of the hyperpigmentation cells.

CAUTION EXERCISED

Although an effective option, lactic acid peels must be used with caution as it could result in increased sensitivity of your skin to sunlight thus making it itchy and red. The countermeasure is simple, for all that you need to do is to wear a sunscreen lotion or cream with a minimum SPF of 15. The frequency of application being daily and the duration may well be far more prolonged, even if you are cured of your hyperpigmentation. This extended duration of use of sunscreen lotions could well be attributed to the fact that the ultraviolet rays can further damage your skin and hyperpigmentation can return if you stop the protection prematurely.

This technique can result in a projecting, attractive breast shape with limited scarring. Considerable sensory innervation to the nipple-areola complex is also maintained in this procedure.

Running On Empty: Mom Burnout Takes Its Toll

Women are told that being a mom is the most rewarding experience of their lifetime. Women are also told that they can have it all -- parenthood, families, career, relationships, and community involvement.

Women are not told, however, that by juggling all these hats they put themselves at risk for... Mom Burnout. We become so busy taking care of kids, partners, parents, in-laws, pursuing careers, and managing the day-to-day maintenance of running a home (cooking, cleaning, shopping), that everyone else gets our best. We get shortchanged. We often feel dissatisfied, unappreciated, haggard, cranky, disheveled and even unattractive. Many moms put basic needs on hold -- doctor's appointments, haircuts, coffee with a close friend. Having it all leaves us with no strength and no time to care for ourselves.

I remember a particular Mother's Day, sitting in one of my favorite cafes overlooking a park in bloom, surrounded by my two daughters and my then-husband. I was absolutely exhausted -- caring for two small children, working, taking care of the house, attempting to keep it all together. Sitting there, on Mother's Day, fighting to keep my eyes open, all I could think was, "What about me?"

Research has shown, as documented by WebMD, that women today are less happy than they have been over the past 40 years. Why? Theories abound, but l suspect a lack of "me-time" is a major reason.

"There's a tremendous amount of stress and pressure put on women: being parents, being daughters, mothers, wives, professionals. All of these roles combined leave many of us not taking adequate care of ourselves -- which is what sustains us and gives us the energy to take care of all these other responsibilities that we have," says Randy Kamen Gredinger, EdD, a Wayland, Mass., psychologist and life coach specializing in women's issues, as quoted by WebMD.

I ask you: "What do you want for you?"

As Mia Redrick, author of Time for Mom-Me: 5 Essential Strategies for a Mother's Self Care explains, most moms have "a clear understanding of what the members of their families need to feel whole, loved and enriched." And yet, the same moms have no idea what they need to care for themselves.

There is more at play here, however, than just "not knowing." There is an insidious undercurrent of guilt many moms feel a for taking care of herself. Perhaps she internalizes the implied message that if a mom is taking care of herself, she is taking time away from caring for someone else. It's our duty, after all, to minimize our needs in order to take care of others.

Or, is it?

Here's the perfect analogy: Think of yourself like a bank. "You can't give more than you have without bankrupting yourself," explains psychotherapist Ashley Eder, as quoted in the article, How To Stop Feeling Guilty About Practicing Self-Care. "You also can't invest your money in making more money if you give it all away. Having the resources to share with others depends on conservation and renewal of your own supply."

Whether you are a brand-new mom, wrangling toddlers, or waiting up at night for teenagers, every mom requires self-care for peak performance. In other words, practicing self-care helps us help others more effectively.

There are many reasons for moms to regularly practice self-care. Taking care of yourself will:

** make you a better parent -- you will be more patient, more attentive and more attuned.

** make you a better partner, sibling, professional, daughter -- for all the same reasons taking care of yourself makes you a better parent.

** demonstrate to your children what it looks like to be an amazing mom. Do you want to show your children how to put their needs last as a parent? Or, so you want to show your children that rest, attending to one's needs, and "time out" are essential?

** be better equipped to communicate your needs and what support you require to your partner, family and friends.

** make you healthier and stronger.

** raise your level of contentedness and happiness.

** make you feel cared for, nurtured and loved.

** recharge your battery and feel more rested.

** promote feeling appreciated, and in turn, you will feel more appreciative and grateful toward the people in your life.

Ultimately, self-care is essential and non-negotiable. From getting enough sleep, to taking care of our basic needs, to setting personal limits and boundaries, to being honest with our partners, it's making our health and wellness a non-negotiable priority. After all, when you watch the airline demonstration at the beginning of your flight, the attendant says, "put the oxygen mask on you first, then your child." You cannot help another to your full capacity until you help yourself first.
