When I&#x27;m with my kids, I&#x27;m the most present I can be. When I&#x27;m at the office, I work in the most efficient way. I think that&#x27;s the only way to do it.&quot;</p><p>&quot;So, just prioritize. I live by my calendar. Every hour is scheduled. It&#x27;s important to have time to yourself, too,&quot; added Wilson, known to many as one of the Philippines&#x27; &quot;It girls&quot; along with Anne Curtis, Solenn Heussaff, and her cousin Isabelle Daza.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTNUM63E41_/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A13753240.5%2C%22ls%22%3A405880.89999985695%2C%22le%22%3A406446.39999985695%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>For Wilson, it&#x27;s important for moms to have time for themselves, making sure every hour is scheduled so no aspect of her life gets left behind. </p><p>Self-care comes in many forms: from a hobby or a daily ritual to a full-blown business. In Wilson&#x27;s case, she is happy that her kids see the value of work through her <a href="http://abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/health-beauty-fashion/2025/10/27/georgina-wilson-represents-ph-beauty-at-regional-conference-1804">Sunnies lifestyle empire</a>.</p><p>&quot;I think that moms who take care of themselves and put themselves first, too, are a good example to their kids,&quot; she said. </p><p>Like most moms, Wilson wants to see her three young kids succeed when they grow up. </p><p>But she said she is not the type to dictate her own wishes to her children: &quot;They need to find their own paths. Obviously, there&#x27;ll be influence, but they&#x27;re very separate beings and their souls are different, and I respect that.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I just want to encourage them to be the happiest. I think that&#x27;s the most important thing for them to remember -- to be a good person, to be truthful, to not steal,&quot; she continued.</p><p>&quot;That&#x27;s what I want for my kids. That&#x27;s, for me, success.&quot;</p>
