The truth is we devote so much time to our families, we forget to take time for ourselves. Between working, taking care of the kids, husband, and home, moms are stressed out than ever before. Stress builds quickly and turns into anger, and there are many different ways to be a calmer mom.
Learning to identify how you react to stress will help you curb your overload mode.
You can’t be any good to anyone else if you don’t take care of your own needs. Try to do something that you find calming and enjoyable each day, so you can be your best self. Take a moment and breath, this gives you time to make sure you are ready to deal with your child.
Motherhood is something that can be very difficult. Remind yourself that you are doing the best you can and that is what matters. Don't put pressure on yourself to be a perfect mom. It is good to want to be the best mom that you can be, that is a goal all mothers should strive toward. But don't stress yourself too much.
You may not be able to avoid all the stress, but you can get away for just a few minutes to feel less overwhelmed. Give yourself permission to take a brief stress break.
Stressed? You're not alone.
