Motherhood is an exciting journey but it’s certainly not as easy in many ways, with its many challenges.
To be responsible for taking care of your little ones 24/7 can sometimes leave you feeling devoid of energy and emotionally exhausted.
Under such circumstances, focusing on your own well-being becomes really difficult.
But you can only be a good mother if you are tending to your own well-being first and foremost. That’s really a no-brainer!
So, in this article we are going to go over some powerful feminine self-care tips for moms like you.
If you incorporate some of these in your life, you will definitely notice a positive difference in all areas of your life and be able to stay in your feminine energy and radiance.
Get enough sleep
This has to be the top self-care tip for moms as most of them are functioning on very low hours of sleep.
Getting 7 to 9 hours of sound sleep is essential for the vitality and health of your body, mind and spirit.
If you cannot sleep all through the night because of your kids then make sure you take a 20 minute nap during the day.
Set aside some “me-time”
You sure can be a busy mom with her plate full but you too deserve the care and love you give out to others.
Therefore, you need to carve out some time for yourself in your everyday routine.
This can be when you kids are asleep or at school, or with someone else who can look after them for a while.
In your me-time, you’re going to indulge in any activity that relaxes your body and mind.
It can be taking a relaxing bath, doing a manicure, a facial or a massage, reading a book or doing some kind of meditation. You get to choose what calms you down.
Get your body moving
Make it a habit to indulge in at least 30 minutes of body movement every day.
You can go for a walk, hit the gym, dance at home or even do some light stretching. It all depends on your mood and circumstances.
When you move your body, your body releases a number of chemicals, mainly endorphins, which are famously called the feel-good neurotransmitters.
Cultivate a support system
Most women completely lose themselves and their identity as they embrace motherhood.
You must remember that being a mother is just one of the many roles you are going to play in your life. It’s a hat you wear, not your entire life.
Therefore, you must have a group of friends you can lean on whenever you feel like.
Make sure to go out with them once a while and talk your heart out without worrying about how your kids are back home.
Disconnect from your mom role and just enjoy some good time with your sisterhood.
Experiment with your look
Being a mother doesn’t mean that you have to wear boring clothes and carry the same hairstyle.
Go to the salon and get a fresh haircut. Paint your nails and get a massage if possible.
Then arrange your wardrobe and see if you can add some vibrant pieces to your collection.
Dressing up will help you get in contact with your powerful feminine side. When you look good, you will automatically feel better and your confidence will soar high!
Release the mom guilt
Many moms feel guilty when they put themselves first, or if they did something they regret.
But please be aware that motherhood is not about being perfect, but about being human and real.
Being a mom brings many challenges and help us evolve as women and to connect further with our hearts, our intuition, and our feminine nature.
So release the mom guilt and know that you are doing your best and you do not need to sacrifice your well being and your feminine energy for your kids. They appreciate having a mom who takes good care of herself too!
