Think back to before you were a mom.
Did you ever feel selfish about taking a 20-minute hot shower, taking a nap on a rainy Saturday afternoon or reading an inspiring Marianne Williamson book before bed?
So how come, as a mom, those same pleasures make you feel guilty?
I know what you are going to say. Your priorities totally change when you’re a mom. You have this beautiful little being totally dependent on you. But why feel guilt for taking care of yourself?
If you have struggled with feeling guilty for taking time for yourself, you are going to totally appreciate this Tejal.TV episode.
Let me reassure you, you aren’t alone. But I gotta be real.
You are being selfish for NOT prioritizing yourself first.
I can see you now. Rolling your eyes and scoffing at me behind your computer.
When you don’t prioritize nurturing yourself first, you don’t give your children the best version of you. You rob your children to see you happy, confident and energetic.
And that’s selfish.
Your children deserve a mother who cultivates a loving relationship with herself.
In today’s episode, learn 3 ways to prioritize your self-care needs without feeling guilty. Learn a simple technique that you can start today. You can prioritize yourself without the guilt.

As I shared in the episode, if you want your children to be happy, confident and have a strong sense of self, you need to be the example of that first. Your energy is greater than your words. Your little ones are totally in-tune to your funky, frustrated and frantic energy.

Remember your words have power. Make a strong declaration in writing, by leaving a comment below. Your courage, vulnerability, and declaration for change are not only inspiring to me, but to all the radiant mamas who feel guilty taking care of themselves.
Not only do I have a deep desire to inspire you to be more happy and self-fulfilled. I believe your children benefit the most when they experience the best version of you.
You aren’t the only one who has moments of frustration and exhaustion. But to give fully to another, without feeling depleted, we have to nurture ourselves first. Otherwise, burnout, resentment, and exhaustion are inevitable.
It’s a complete honor to have you take the time to watch, read and share this video. To change the way we view motherhood, we have to share the word. Inspire another mother who could deeply benefit from this. You will help them in ways you wouldn’t now.
Love and light,
