So you read the blog on The ‘Hat’ Life of a SAHM and if you haven’t yet go check it out!
But now here are six simple self-care tips that a stay at home or even working mom can do for themselves.
ⅰ. Take a shower at night.
Mom life starts as soon as the kids are up at 7am or earlier and nonstop until bedtime. So make sure to take that time at night to take a nice hot bath or shower, breathe, and enjoy some quiet time!
ⅱ. Feed your body nutritious foods.
We are always making sure the kids are eating, but what about you? And no, snacking on your kids left overs doesn’t count. And drink water!
ⅲ. Get some fresh air.
Mom life is a constant go go go that sometimes we forget to breathe. So try and take 10 minutes of your day and sit outside or go for a walk. Fresh air really does a body good.
ⅳ. Get sleep when you can.
I know this is a tough one, but if you get to that point of exhaustion where you feel like you can’t function. Forget about all the chores that needs to be done. A well rested body does a person better good than an bone-weary one.
ⅴ. Take that needed MomMe time.
Self care is the practice of taking action to improve one’s own health. Which about sums up the first four things I just mentioned. And there is also things like reading a book, doing a 15minute workout, pampering yourself, or simply sitting in your car drinking Starbucks. Anything that allows you to feel like yourself, is a form of Self-Care.
ⅵ. And lastly. Be gentle to yourself.
Mom life is overwhelming and exhausting, but always remember YOU got this! Start making your affirmations list and repeat them daily!
Much love,
Mama KB.
