June 15 - Question of the Day

Self Care is not same as self centered or selfish, self care is about giving time to yourself, "GIVING TIME" not your "ALL TIME". People said that "dapat focus kalang sa anak mu, saka na ung sarili mu", Me as a full time mom yes, I'm totally focus to my son, I give more time to him than myself, but after I've done all things, taking care of him, I give time to myself. Hindi ko naman pinababayaan ung anak ko porket nag seself care ako, inuuna ko lang ang anak ko bago ang sarili ko. A small time just to take care of myself, pagtulog nya sa gabi, nageexercise ako, after ko sya ihalf bath, its time for my skin care routine. Simple care that every women need and a mother as well. "SIMPLE CARE" and "GIVING TIME" that's what I thought about "SELF CARE"

"One of the greatest gift you can give to your husband is your wholeness." -Stormie Omartian I think same goes for our family- especially for our little ones. That's why we must take care of ourselves so we can take care of them. My husband usually reminds me to slow down and give myself time as well. My husband's work demands him to be away from me - so most if not all the things that needs to be done in the home relies on me. HAVING SOME BREAK gives me time for myself- sometimes I have new haircut or if given more time will have my nails done. BUT on a daily basis MY SELF-CARE means having time to read a book and my Bible. I usually do this when my daughter s already sleeping. In that way I RECHARGE for the next day. 😀😉 #QOTD

yes. Me time is a must kahit pa Nanay ka na. Walang masama magpaganda, mag ayos at manamit kung ano feel natin. 5-15 mins of "me time" sobrang okay na yung iinom ka ng mainit na kape habang nakataas ang paa or maligo ng di mag aalala or kahit ano pa makakapagpasaya satin. Kung hindi natin kaya mahalin sarili natin pano natin mamahalin nasa paligid natin? eventually mabu burn out ka non. But keep in mind na, mag ayos o hindi choice na natin yun wag masyado mahusga na kesyo ganito ganyan. Don sila masaya be happy na lang. We should be uplifting each and everyone else no matter what choice we make. Hang in there Mommies we got this ❤

yes it is important to all mother having self-care because we all want to prove not to others but to ourselves that we can all taking care of our family and in order for us to do it to them we need to do it first to our self... it doesn't mean nman na porket pinapaganda o inaalagaan nating mga mommy ang sarili eh... "inuuna na natin ang kalandian o what so ever!!! mas maganda pakinggan yung salitang "mommy blowming ka" kesa nman sa "mommy hagard ka" unahin nating gawin sa mga sarili natin kasi darating yung tamang panahon na matututunan ng mga anak natin yan... salamat po mga mommy #QOTD

Yes! Sa totoo lang kapag naging nanay kana sobrang hirap gawin ang mga bagay na dati mo nang nakasanayan noong dalaga kapa, pero bilang babae hindi mo pwedeng isantabi ang aspetong tulad nito. Bilang isang babae mahalaga na pangalagaan pa rin na natin ang ating sarili, hindi lang sa aspeto nang pagpapaganda dahil nagmumukha kanang l*syang na napapabayaan ang sarili kundi pati na rin ang kalusugan. "SELF-CARE" ang pangangalaga mo sa iyong sarili ang pangangalaga mo sa iyong buong pamilya, paano nalang kung magkasakit ka (beauty and wellness) sino na mag aalaga sa iyong mag anak.

i believe in self care. self care helps you become healthy physicaly and emotionally . Physically ksi pag if you care about your physical body ofcourse it will help you live longer and you can take care of your family longer and free from sickness. Emotionally, meaning when you care about yourself your looks will be free from negative thoughts and you will let go of stress. You will be confident about yourself and you will become happy and you can take care of your family happily and therefore your family can see your example and can be happy too.❤️❤️❤️

Yes! Self care ay ang pag mamahal mo sa iyong sarili. Ang pagiging ina lalo na ako ay first time mom. Sobrang hirap at challenging sa araw araw, walang tulog, madaling kain lang dahil gising na naman si baby, ultimo pag ihi lang sobrang challenging (pero di ako nag rereklamo i love my daughter hahahaha) kaya need natin ng self care to boost our self confidence baka kasi feeling na natin mga mommies pangit na tayo dahil lagi tayong pagod. Again, self care is important. Lovelove we can do this momshies!!!!

I am a wife, a working mother of three (twin threenagers and a 4-month old baby), and a graduate school student. Usually moms wear many hats and it is easy to forget about ourselves. But, I learned through the years that you cannot give your best unless you take care of yourself. That is why I make sure to give myself some "me time." It doesn't have to be grand or long, it can be a 15-minute tea time or a 1.5-hr movie time in Netflix. I just make sure that I give my mind some time to relax. 🙂

YES! This pandemic has been tough, specially for us moms.. We worry about everything, specially when it comes to our kids to our family. But also as a mom, I know that if I want to be able to give the best of myself to my family, I need to take excellent care of myself. Otherwise, I am going to show up with low-energy and resentment.. Thats why, im giving myself ME TIME, Doing Skin Care routine, and Eat What i love.. ❤ Dont be too hard on ourselves mommies, were doing great! ☺❤
