Self-care-the name says something about it being very pricey for people. How do you try to view it? Spend some time alone, take a break from chores, or take a holiday without kids. I think there will be lots of options going on in people's minds when you think about self-care.
However, the real meaning lies in the words care for yourself.” This means feel good about you. Whatever you face or get challenged with, think you are the best.
There is no replacement for us in the world. When an AI can replace a system or process or companies. A mom role can never be replaced by anyone in this world.
Let us dive deep into a few self-care techniques, which every Mom can easily do in her time. There is no need to spend extra time to do self-care. No pricey treatments or spa appointments are needed. It is just ”you.” That is it.
Feel good about you.
There are so many exhausting things that happen for a mom during a day. Sometimes she gets crazy thinking about the kids’ lives. What to prepare for a meal today. What to do for the homeschooling. How to make the kid understand better. All these are fine.
However, you are the creator and the divinity of your home. You need to feel good about you. Think how far you have traveled in life with chaos on your head. Think of the times when you stayed resilient during the toughest period in life. You could have forgotten all this in life.
But remember, you were strong enough that you made it. Now. It is the time to feel really good about you!
Think of all the things you have crossed in your life and feel happy for where you are today.
Take time for you:
There are times you feel exhausted after a long day of work or a week-long work. In these times, do not exhaust yourself completely. A family burnout will kill your spirit at times and make you feel bored or pathetic.
In these times, take some time for you. Do not worry about the pile of laundry, kids’ chores, or the kitchen sink.
Even having a cup of coffee and sipping with mindfulness for a moment will make you feel energized. A short prayer for a minute can heal you much better.Think about the good times in your life; feel gratitude for that. This will make you feel much better.
Short walk, hot water bath, walk in your garden. Sing your hymn, order your favorite food, and relish it. Sometimes shopping and buying your much-awaited Wishlist item can enhance your mood. Do not kill your mood and burn it out completely; take time for you to make yourself better.
Use a self-care printable:
Buy a self-care printable for you to spend time on a few activities to boost your mood better. You will have to spend some time in the morning, for about half an hour, and do a certain set of tasks.
At least for a month or week, it can boost your mental health and make you feel great about yourself. You can take what is relevant for you and stick with it for some time, like a month, 21 days, or 15 days.
Eventually you get adapted to it and start working on it.
You can see an overall change in your life for the better you!
Approach your life in a way to think and work on you.
As a mom, your guidance is important to your family. If you are in a good position, able to mentor your kids, that will be the best gift for your family.Proper self-care can improve your health and well-being to a much greater extent than relying too much on medication and stress factors.
Think about you, spend a little time, and make your life a priority and feel happy!
Stay happy, Stay strong!
