Making "Me" time is important

As a mom I have so many roles I play- mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend and more.  As these roles took over I lost who I was and realized this could not continue.  I could not be good at the other roles if I could not be good at being me.  I was not happy, I was depressed and it was reflecting on the other roles I played.  So I brought about a change-- I took time for me.  It started with small changes: 30  minutes of working out which made that time "me time".   I was able to release stress and focus on the good that I do.  Am I a perfect mom?  Nope!  I make a million mistakes a day but that is ok.  I am human and I learn from those daily and yes I may repeat them.  I'll admit my biggest struggle has been patience.  But I have found taking that time for me is making me a little more patient and I am making progress slowly.
