Taking time out for me

More and more research says that women are better moms if they take care of themselves first. I just read an article today about how important it is to rediscover your passions and hobbies after you have a child. Everyone should have their "thing." Mine is Zumba. Get to have fun AND workout. On the days I don't workout, I just feel different. I don't have the same kind of energy and that don't have that "I can do anything" attitude. No matter what kind of slump I get into during the work day, Zumba can get me out. While Zumba may not be that for everyone, there should be something. It can take years to find, and it may even take you by surprise. I just know I'm a better person and a better mom if I do it. No guilt attached.
