As toddlers, one of the very first words we learn is "no." Ever since then we are being told that this is not a word to be used in daily dealings with other people. However, as an adult and as a mom, it is one of the very valuable words to have in your vocabulary.

Moms aim to please and are easily guilt tripped to giving in at their own expense. Part of self-care and regaining balance is learning to use that childhood favorite word again.

I love this reminder Anneli Riismaa , because when we say "No" we are really saying "Yes" to something else. 💗💗💗

It's so easy to forget self care with all the "mommy guilt" we get.
