I am a mother myself and an avid exponent of mothers taking care of themselves and getting some ‘me time’. We often see that mothers either think they’re not worth it, or they think that they are too needed at all times to carve out some time for themselves.
Between jobs, spouses, children and other commitments, it is hard to get some spare time for yourself in the day. But isn’t that unfair?
Taking care of yourself is the most important gift you can give yourself, your children, and your family. Putting others’ needs first might work for a while, but eventually, it won’t.
And it is more than likely that it might have negative consequences on you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Health problems, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues are just some of them.
And trust me these issues will not only have an adverse effect on you, but also on your children. Therefore mothers take care of yourself and give yourself a time-out!

“I don’t want to take a pay cut and accept the offer, but everyone around me is advising me to take up what comes my way,” Tanya* told me over the phone while I was returning home from the New Delhi World Book Fair. “Should I take it up?” She summed up her dilemma and paused.
I have been coaching Tanya for the past three months. She wants to change her industry, and we have been working together on a career transition roadmap.
Asking women of the office to welcome guests with bouquets at business and social events is blatant tokenism and sexism at the same time!

Why is the task of handing over bouquets to dignitaries at social and business events primarily a feminine task?
This question nags me endlessly. I cringe at the sight of women waiting in a loosely formed queue at the steps leading up to the stage at these events.
