Okay Mom -- you know "the speech"

 The speech that goes, "If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of anyone else"

I bet you've heard that from some people in your life.

 I bet you've even GIVEN that speech to some of your friends!

So why do so many of us (me included, truth be told) tend to ignore it?

Well, one common reason is "I just don't have enough time to take care of myself properly"

Well, I know from experience -- if you don't TAKE them time -- you're body will break down and force you to MAKE the time."

So MAKE THE TIME NOW!

Well...what are you waiting for? Go get it!  

Recently, my dear friend Christi Collins of  BostonHealthCoach.com and two other Certified Holistic Health Counselors, 'got real' with other new moms about their challenges and triumphs in trying to feed themselves during that challenging first year of motherhood. 

This call was incredible! Inspiring, motivational and most of all very very useful, even to those of us beyond the first year of motherhood. I LOVE the ideas for one-handed protiens and power-packed smoothies...and beyond that... you could feel the love on the call.

Christi  and her friends have generously made the the recording of this teleclass avaiable for free. So surf on over and get it at http://www.bostonhealthcoach.com/momsnutrition.html
 

Sleep Deprivation...I know it well!

Even before my son was born, I remember not sleeping well in those last few weeks of pregnancy...

Then, My beloved son did not sleep through the night til he was about 2 1/2  - and he only napped for about 20 minutes at a time!

And I often stay up late to work on this website!

So...how do I make it through the day?

I have a little secret I'm going to share with you!  It's the same secret that shift workers and emergency crews use when helping out in major disasters over the course of several days...

 They Powernap!

 There is an art to powernaping. Too long and you'll be exhausted! Too short and you won't feel refreshed either. But perfecting that art is too hard for an exhausted mother to do on her own...so... 

A few years ago, out of utter desperation, I  ordered a great Powernap CD from Wendi.com -- the most popular hypnotherapist on the Web.

Thank G-d For Wendi!

This CD really, really helps when I'm dragging. Though the  20 minute powernap is the best, it also has options for 5 and 10 minute powernap!

I still use it ALL THE TIME. (I just make sure to set an alarm for a few mintues after the cd is over...just in case I go into a deep sleep, but that rarely ever happens)

Ladies, seriously, this is one of the best solutions I have to offer.  If you are consistently sleep deprived -- get this as a gift for yourself! You can find it at http://www.solutionsforbusymoms.com/powernapcd
