Coping As a Busy Mom
Are you a busy mom? Getting kids ready for school, dropping them off to sports practice, cleaning up the house, grocery shopping, paying bills, and picking up the kids are common tasks on a busy mom's to do list.
There is so much to do and so little time.
How can you cope? There are a number of things that you can do to manage your life in a less stressful manner.
With a few simple tips, you can lower your stress levels, take care of all of the truly important things, and find time for yourself.
There are a number of stress reduction methods that you may want to try.
Exercise can boost your mood and help to reduce stress.
Even if you only have ten minutes of exercise, you can burn calories, increase your energy, and ease the tension in your body.
Yoga is one specific type of exercise that is designed to energize and relax you at the same time.
Sleep is just as important as exercise.
You can reduce the likelihood of fatigue if you get a good night's rest.
Taking a cat-nap for about a half of an hour can refresh you before you get back on the road to pick up your kids, or give you a second wind to finish cleaning up the bathroom and kitchen.
Try not to sacrifice sleep, because getting a good amount of rest can preserve your health and boost your energy.
Sometimes busy moms don't have to be quite as busy as they are.
Saying no is needed once in a while.
No one can do everything for everyone, no matter how hard they try.
Drop things that don't have to be done urgently to the bottom of the list.
If the task is a favor or simply not a "must do," consider just saying no to preserve mental and physical energy for the important things.
Another way to increase mental energy and reduce stress is to free yourself of clutter.
Taking the time to throw away items that you don't use or don't love is worth the effort.
You will be able to think more clearly if there aren't clutter-filled areas in your home.
Consider reorganizing things to create more open space in your home.
Taking supplements can boost your energy as well.
Multi-vitamins for women can keep you healthy and prevent disease.
Via Viente is another great source of anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Bach Flower essences like Elm, Impatiens and Oak can help restore your vitality.
Whatever you do, don't forget about taking care of yourself.
A better you is the greatest gift you can offer your children.
