Mother's Day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May in India to honour motherhood. Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on different dates. Since the concept of families began among humans, mothers have been silently giving their all to their families without really expecting anything in return. Well, they do expect, but it's the family love, support and respect. This Mother's Day take a day off and focus on your well-being. In the middle of a pandemic, there is nothing much you can do by going outside but here are a few ways you can pamper yourself: What Mothers can do for themselves: Brew yourself a cup of coffee or make yourself a cup of tea: There is nothing more liberating than enjoying a cup of coffee/tea in your own company. Pair it with the sunrise or a sunset and it's even more soothing. Nap Nap Nap: Many mothers feel guilty about taking a mid-day nap because they feel they might not be able to see to others' need during that time. Mid-day nap is healthy for your brain and body. From this Mother's Day onward, make it a habit of taking a mid-day nap. Pick up a hobby: Love reading a book? Missing colours and canvases? Are the guitar strings calling you? Turn to your hobby which has been stacked away somewhere in the middle of family, society, and life. Make it a point to give your hobby some time every day from this day onward. What a Spouse can do: Breakfast in bed: Reverse the role. Provide your wife with a fancy breakfast in bed. Be Creative: Going out would not be an option this year. Instead, with the help of your kids, you can make a handmade card or a video which the mothers can cherish. Plan a fancy dinner for her. Give her a massage. "Motherhood: All love begins and ends there."– Robert Browning Happy Mothers Day to you!
