Motherhood will likely be one of the most challenging things you have ever done, but on the other hand, it will be one of the most rewarding jobs of your life. As a mom, you often forget to take care of yourself because you’re caught up in the madness that is life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a stay at home mom or you work outside the home, motherhood stressful! Luckily, there are some great strategies to help you deal with mom stress.
In motherhood, the best thing that every mother can do for herself is to get her kids on a schedule and keep them on it. When you try to stick to a routine, you’ll feel more comfortable handling breakfasts, lunches, naps, and bedtimes. When you don’t have a schedule, you may begin to feel scattered or disorganized, and your stress levels will increase exponentially! Things are always unpredictable when kids are involved, but when you have even the simplest structure, your days will be a little more predictable, and you’ll save your sanity!
Many mothers feel like they have to keep pushing forward when they are about to come unglued. Moms get stressed and often need to take a breather, just like kids! Instead of continuing to push forward when you are about to snap, walk into another room, and breathe deeply for a few minutes. While you are breathing, picture how you would like to respond to the situation and then remind yourself that it is important for you to follow through calmly. After all, you’re a role model for your children. A minute or two in “time out” can make for an excellent day for the whole family!
If you ask 100 moms what their diets are like, at least 85 of them will look at you and cringe. Unfortunately, there’s a tendency to eat what you can when you can in motherhood. Even if you are on the go, you need to make a conscious effort to eat well. When you eat nutritious foods, you are providing your body with the energy it needs to keep up with your kids and cope with the stress you encounter every day.
Teaming up with other moms makes a great support system. Even if you can’t get together every couple of weeks, it is nice to know that you have someone you can call who won’t question your abilities but will listen and empathize. All mothers feel the stress that comes with the job, so make sure to surround yourself with other moms that will be happy to listen to you when you need a shoulder to lean on and be sure to return the favor! We have many mothers in our Facebook Group and the invitation to join is always open.
As a mom, you may forget that you’re important too! This is why you need to make time for yourself every day. You may think that there is no time, but there is if you get help or if you sneak in some relaxation after the kids go to bed or before they get up. Give yourself a manicure or pedicure, drink that cup of tea slowly, complete an online workshop, read a book, take a long bath, or get a massage. Your relaxation time doesn’t have to be extravagant, but it needs to be there. Even 15 minutes every day can make all the difference!
