10 Best Self Care Tips For Busy Moms

You have already given your cent percent while raising your kids. When the baby is in a mother’s womb, she is extra careful about her own health for the sake of her unborn baby’s health. Every mom out there is extra careful about the pregnancy essentials and her pregnancy diet.

But as soon as her breastfeeding period gets over, she starts neglecting her own health. Hey mama, never forget that you need to be happy and healthy to look after your family. hence consider practicing these tips and be that mother you always wanted to be.

Health Comes First

Your health includes your physical, mental, family and emotional health too. When all these pillars are well-balanced, there is no scope of you being sad or feeling low. Follow some tips to make these pillars stronger for the better you.

1. Pay Attention To Your Body

A new mom starts having a low self esteem as she starts gaining weight from the maternity period. And when you are not able to shed that extra flab even after a few years of delivering your baby, you start losing confidence soon. Pay attention to your body. It’s okay to be fat but make sure you are fit too.
Go for a morning walk and bring in some oxygen that will make your body feel happier and healthier along with losing some chubbiness too.

2. Dedicate Some Time For Your Passion

Your passion is the thing that makes you breathe everyday. Can you stop breathing? No! Then don’t stop nurturing your passion too. Be it Painting, Running, Gymming, Swimming Or Cooking; follow your heart and dedicate some of your time to nourish your hobby.



3. Practice Yoga And Meditation

Yes, Yoga doesn’t only help you to be fit physically but it provides mental wellness too. Join a Yoga & Meditation class or just practice it at home and see the better you sooner than ever. This is one of the best self care tips for busy moms.

4. Stay Connected To Your Circle

Yes, after getting married and having kids we rarely do make time for the people we love. Yes we all definitely love our respective husbands, kids and parents. But there are people who are not related to us by blood but they complete our circle. Meet your best friends and buddies. Have group chats or group video calls, but never lose that connection that pampers you truly.

5. Be Surrounded By Positive People

Yes, it matters that who is around you. The positive happy people who never let you down or just the people who always criticize you? Stay away from the negative vibes, spend time with those lovely people who make you feel worthy and happy.

6. Read Often

Do you love reading? If yes, then don’t leave that love behind. Make some time for books before going to bed, at least twice a week. Books are always the best friends to the human as they make us forget out present and take us to a different world altogether.

7. Pamper Yourself

This advice is given often by everyone but we always tend to give it a backseat. Self love, pampering is as important as eating food every day or breathing. Gift yourself something that you always craved to own. Love chocolates? No harm in munching on a piece or two.

Go for spa treatments, get that deep tissue body massage done and just relax amidst of aroma of the spa treatments. Get facial done, or just a pedicure that will help you relax.

8. Go For The Dates With Self

We crave for those date nights and hope that our partner should take initiative. Why wait for him to do so. You can plan a date night always. Or when he has busy days, go for the dates with self. Sounds weird? No, not at all. Go and pamper yourself with the food you love the most. Dress up in that Little Black Dress again and spend time with yourself.

7. Nourish Your Body Mind And Soul With Good Food

You indulged into those pieces of your favourite chocolates, but that is not going to help you always. Eat good food that keeps you going. Being a working mother means neglecting the health a lot. While having that work-life balance, do we really have that life-health balance? Sometimes yes, and many times NO.

Pay attention to the food you eat. Avoid the extra oily and spicy food and go more on fruits and veggies. Fruits are always good to carry at work. Have them when you are hit by the hunger pangs, have fruit juices instead of a caffeinated drink or that bubbly soda drinks. They give you a temporary kick but are not your friends forever. Fruits are those positive people that will never let you feel low. Go grab it now.

8. Sleep For At Least 8 Hours A Day

Are you getting enough sleep? If no, then it is the very basic reason for your bad health and bad mood for the next day. Lack of sleep affects your productivity too, so if you wish to give your 100% to your kids, family, home and workplace; you really need to take that beauty sleep first.

9. Plan Your Day Ahead

Note down the things to do in a planner or a notepad that you need to complete the next day. Try to have weekly meal plans that will save a lot of your time on deciding “What To Cook The Next Day”.

From breakfast to lunch and dinner, keep all the ingredients ready on previous day. Spend that extra saved time for the things you love to do, like singing, reading or just going for a walk.



10. Take Breaks And Vacations Often

You always need a break mama. Have a No work Sunday in between, let the house be messy. Order food from outside. No harm in pampering yourself and sleeping for those extra hours on Sundays. Things will wait, your happiness won’t.

Annual vacation is a must-must. Go for road trips. Take adventure trips or just a leisure one. Make sure it is different from your routine place. And please make sure, you aren’t doing the same chores on your trip that you do at home. Don’t cook and just roam around. Explore local culture and capture those beautiful memories so that they will keep you fresh for next few months until you take your next trip.

 

From maternity clothes to the foods she needs to eat to boost milk supply, she takes care of everything. But many times forgets to take care of herself. Let’s pledge not to forget the self in the journey of being busy mother.

These easy self care tips for busy moms are something that every mom can implement in her life and get back that self love

    Great tips! For YEARS, my hubby suggested things to me like “pay attention to your body” and “if you sleep, you need it.” I used to feel that he was being selfish when he ensured he was taking care of himself. I am FINALLY awake to the fact that he has been correct all along. Self-care is NECESSARY! I am a better mom, a better wife, a better friend, and a better ME when I practice self-care. 😀
