Hi Everyone!

Today’s post is inspired by my mood and lack of confidence lately. Do you feel like bloggers are very SELF confident and have the “perfect” staged lives? That is not true! I feel like I have been chasing my goal as a blogger for a long time. I have this feeling of not being fulfilled and I tend to forget the main reason why I started a blog in the first place.

Do you compare yourself to others? I love to compare and compete with other bloggers that I feel are more successful then me. I constantly compare the way my body looks to other women. Creativity is not something to compare. I am Abraidedblonde and I am different then any other bloggers out there. I love showing my creative side, I love helping people, and I love showing you pictures of my family.

Do you wear alot of hats? I wear so many hats in life.  I am a mom, a full time employee, a blogger, a wife, a chef, a housekeeper, a personal shopper, and a decorator. Sometimes I am so focused on everyone and everything that I tend to forget about myself. So the next time you are going through a little rut, follow this self care routine:

1. Have mini declutter session– I love going through my closet and getting rid of clothes I haven’t worn in 2 years. I do this with all the closets actually. Another great thing to declutter is your pantry or fridge.
2. Buy some flowers for youself. I love going to the market and picking out my favorite flowers and showcasing them in the house. They are not for anyone but myself to see.
3. Get your nails done. I have a nail budget! If I really need some self love, then get the mani/pedi!!  Are you suprised I have a nail budget? Chris and I have been praciticing Dave Ramsey’s debt free practices. Read this blog post here 14 tips on starting a family budget
4. Read a good book. My favorite book right now is The power of now
5. Take a nap. This is something that I really need to practice more.
6. Buy something that you have been wanting to buy for so long but you have no clue if you will wear it. This could be hot pink shoes, or a lime green skirt, or something way out of your comfort zone. I rememeber when I bought yellow shoes, thinking I would never wear them, and I wear them all the time.
7. Do something creative. This is defintely my blog for me! It is so fun and creative! But this could be a coloring book, drawing a picture, or doing a craft.
8. Have a cup of coffee from your favorite coffee place. In paducah this is PIPERS.
9. Sleep in on the weekends. Chris and I practice this every weekend. I hate planning anything on Saturday morning becuase saturday mornings are made to be lazy.
10. Cuddle your pet!  My little nona loves to cuddle and she helps my stress so much.

If you practice any self care please use hashtag #abbselfcare and I will mention you in my story! I think we can all help each other, support each other, and lift each other up! Dont you?

I hope you have the best weekend with your friends and family,
