Mom's Practices

Many moms’ feel guilty about self-care, know that: Taking care of yourself is not a luxury but it is an essential part of being a good mom. You take care of everyone else but you tend to forget to take care of yourself. Your head is floating with so many thoughts, like to-do list and other tasks. Your time is so consumed with others, you forget to take care of yourself.

Come to think about it: you spend through taking a shower in case someone needs something in the meantime, you scarf down meals so that you can focus on feeding he baby – and you fork over money for the kid’s swimming lessons while cancelling your own plans.

The thing is focusing on everyone else instead of prioritizing yourself actually does your loved one harm. Why? Because you feel burned out, you resent parenthood; you are not able to be present.

The importance of self care for you – here’s the answer.

MENTAL

Self care for you starts with your mind. Focus on reducing and preventing chronic stress in your life, whether at work, at home, or within yourself. Avoid the triggers that case you to become stressed and anxious and you have to spend more time on those that lighten the load. Then you have to challenge yourself both in big and small ways,

PHYSICAL

For the longest time, did you held your back from exercising? No matter how busy you are, make exercise a priority. Even if you are caring for a baby or coming home from a long work day – make sure to find the pockets of time to exercise.

SOCIAL

As you get older, your social ties seem to dwindle. You have less time and more duties or simply move away from your circle of friends and loved ones. But finding time to reconnect with those around you before is a key for self-care. Do not neglect your relationship with your partner, and instead find ways to open communication on a daily basis – never be afraid to reach out to your local friends and family for monthly lunches or social events.

Self care for you moms is important. Make regular exercise a part of your routine, which can also help you manage stress and feel more accomplished. Take time to schedule plans with your friends and loved one. When you feel good inside you are being your best for the ones you love. Take the time to take care of what’s import for you.

Imagine you are going home very tired after a long day at work. Dishes are stack up and laundry are pile up high. Toys are scattered and the room is a mess. However, no matter how tiring a day was, mothers keep their best to be organized and fulfill mother duties. They tend to care for family first rather than doing their personal activities.
To help mom continue to fulfill her mother duties, here are the best practices mom can do to lighten them up:

Stop comparing
Never compare yourself from having a hectic schedule, need to work overtime to for the family, and stressful day over your friends who are having a good time and stress-free. Remember that nobody’s life is perfect and the world is different.
Have a break
Life as a mom is busy and sometimes crazy. Allow yourself to step away from stress and breathe even for a while. You deserve to sit outside, sleep early, or do shopping.
Treat yourself
Giving yourself a treat don’t need to be expensive. Grabbing your favorite treats from the groceries or buying your preferred foods, clothes, or shoes would be the best way to treat yourself.
Have a bedtime bonding
Go in bed with your kids and snuggle with them to have a quality time together. Time flies so fast and you can’t stop your kids from growing. Snuggle, talk, kisses, tickles, and hear them laugh would be one of the warming moments you can always remember as a mom.
Make daily goals
Making daily goals don’t need to be accomplished in one day. Doing two to three goals can make you feel accomplished. A little way such as letting your hair done, picking up kids at school, doing the laundry and have time with kids would be good to get included with your daily goals.
Have an exercise
You may have a lot of busy time working and doing mother duties, try to squeeze in a workout or do jogging. Go for a walk or enroll yourself to Zumba or other fitness activities would help you to chill out and stay away from stress for a little while.
Create communication with kids
A simple way of asking them how was their day went would help you to stay connected with your child. Through this, it allows your children to have an open communication with you and teach them to express their feelings.
