Lessons from the Beach, Nurture Yourself

Dear Parents,


As the Parent Success Coach, I will often remind parents the importance of nurturing yourself.  Your ability to guide and nurture your family depends so much on your own well being, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Spending a week on the beach reminds me of how important it is to just relax and have a little fun.  Let go of the worries of the world for a while.  Refresh and rejuvenate.

Playing on the beach all week, I found myself physically tired in a good way.  I slept great, and I felt great.  Some of the worries that seemed to fill my mind a few weeks ago seem non-existent now.  Why were those things such a big deal anyway? 

It is extremely important for parents to take this kind of time to relax and renew.  Many times we magnify the worries by thinking about them too much.  By taking some time to let go and relax, you can think more clearly and get a fresh perspective on how to move forward.  You are better for yourself and better for your family.  Be sure to allow for some recreation as part of your normal schedule to keep yourself in balance.

To Your Family,

Jane Cabrera
The Parent Success Coach
