As a busy mom, we have a lot on our plate. Not only do we have to look after the kids, go to work each day and handle the chores, but we also have to ensure the family is happy, healthy and well-fed. It can really take a lot out of you and leave you in a constant state of fatigue.
Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way – check out these simple tips for reenergizing in an instant:
Up Your Magnesium Intake
If you are eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, there is a good chance you are already getting your recommended daily dose of magnesium, but if you’re still feeling too tired to do anything much, there is a chance that you could be deficient and might well
benefit from either upping your intake of magnesium rich foods like avocadoes bananas and beans, or taking a daily supplement until things improve.
It is the time of year where people start thinking about their gardens. Your home will always be on your mind, but you will want your garden in top shape for the spring and summer months to ensure that you can enjoy it to its fullest potential. If you were thinking of adding something to your garden as a focal point then this can be it. Or, alternately, you can use it as a small addition in a corner or edge, that can just be part of a wider garden. The choice is yours. If you are considering a pond there are certain things you need to think about. You may have already thought these through, but if not, you need to give them consideration.
It’s never easy to get people to take you seriously when you work from home. They think they can drop by whenever they want. Worse, they get offended when you don’t drop everything for them. Being a work at home mom is even harder. You may have chosen this career so you could work your hours around your children. But, the kids won’t understand why you can’t spend time with them when you’re right there. At least if you were at the office, they would understand you’re busy! And then there’s the problem of not being able to get to work before all the chores are done. Before you know it, you’re falling behind, and the house still isn’t clean. So, how can you balance home and work when the two are so linked?
Everyone needs a little bit of encouragement in life sometimes. Even those of us who are generally confident will encounter difficulty here and there, and will need a little pep talk. For most of us, this is something we can do ourselves. Over a quick coffee or a snack, we say: “you’ve dealt with worse before” or “this is a challenge, but I’ll be stronger for it”.
What we have to be careful about is the line we sometimes cross. On one side of it, there is helpful encouragement. On the other, there are kind lies we tell ourselves to deal with niggling issues, the stress of bringing up kids, or dealing with a daily grind. These lies can be small and harmless. What we need to be sure of, though, is that we don’t become too used to telling ourselves what we want to hear.
