Let’s face it, the life of a Mom is hard. Caring for our children is the delight of our lives. Some days we are good if we make it out of bed, or get a morning shower without hearing the pitter patter of little feet or hands banging at the door anxiously awaiting our embrace.

Our children and our families depend on us for everything. That is why it is so vital, that as a Mother we take time out for ourselves. This is a daunting task at best. How can we carve out time for ourselves, when we are needed here or there. There are countless

to-do lists
errands
household chores
shopping
preparing healthy meals

All of these things require our time and attention as well as our growing, busy families. Can we all relate? I’ll answer for you, Yes we can.

This is why

self-care
journaling
exercise

should be included as an integral part of your normal routine. Somehow we can squeeze a little time in for ourselves without feeling guilty. It only takes as little as 30 minutes a day (you can always add more) to start. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

Each one of these topics all play a role in my life as a mother. Motherhood is hard, especially if you are at home with the kids all day. It is important to take time for yourself, reduce unnecessary anxiety and stress and maintain a healthy balance.

Self-care: Making and taking time for yourself. Rest and relaxation when needed. Pray and meditate on positive things, know that you are doing a great job! Surround yourself with positive and supportive people. Allow yourself to reset and recharge, it helps you maintain your sanity and be a better mother to your children

Journaling: Writing it all down, decompressing those thoughts and emotions onto paper

Exercise: Great for the mind, body and spirit. When you are feeling your best, you can be present and enjoy the little moments that mean the most

I chose to focus more on the fitness and exercise factor. If you have your health, you have all you need. You will have that strength to take care of yourself and your family.

As busy Moms, tackling that to-do list will be a lot easier when you are hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. You will feel better and be more energized to take on the day. Write down fitness and exercise on your to do list. It helps to create a visual, focal point of reference. Creating self-care, exercise and beauty routines are essential to your personal health and well-being. Which in the end help us to feel more confident and beautiful both on the inside and out.

Let’s face it, you deserve to feel your absolute best. You are worth it!

Happy Mother’s Day
