So we all know that being a mom is one of the most rewarding, stressful, fulfilling, emotional (and the list goes on and on) rolls you will ever play!
Being a working mom has its challenges all on its own!
I see all these posts about “habits that all entrepreneurs must do” “routines that make you succeed” but I rarely see them being moms and having to not only prep for yourself but your children and your family. At times it can be SO frustrating.
I wanted to take my time to share my 7 habits that I will NEVER ever give up. These things are sacred to me and are somethings that allow me to be centred so that I can be present for my family!!
To be completely transparent, there are times lady’s that our “life” gets in the way and we don’t practice the things we know will help us succeed in our day to day. The thing is, as long as we know how to pick ourselves up and put ourselves back on track that’s all that matters!
Here are my 7 healthy habits for working mammas:
1. MEDITATION/JOURNALING
I wake up at 5:45am and Journal & Meditate. My mind is racing a million miles per hour, between the business and the household it’s go go go. Having these 15-20 minuets of silence and soft music is huge! Plus the kids are still sleeping and it’s me time! If I am so exhausted and can’t wake up then I practice this with the kids.
2. PREP TIME
If I don’t prep nothing gets done! It’s that simple! I prep our lunches, as well as mine even though I don’t go to work I prep it as I am so that I don’t even have to think about what to eat the next day. It’s all done from the night before!
3. BREAKFAST
This one is HUGE! I was in a habit of feeding the kids getting them dressed and chugging down my coffee and the next time I checked the clock it was 11am and I was starving! Now what I do is I prep the kids breakfast as I’m doing that I drink my marine collagen powder with a hint of 🍋 While they eat I eat as well, hard boiled egg, egg whites with spinach, toast peanut butter or smoothies something that will keep you full!
4. DETOX
Not only do I do a monthly body detox but I do a house detox! Clutter is huge and it can get wild with 3 little babes so I go through things all the time and declutter anything that doesn’t serve us!
5. WORK OUT
Lets be honest I’m no work out queen nor do I wish to be one because it’s just not my focus, however feeling good in my skin and having my mind be in optimal shape is my goal! Working out or doing something active is definitely a must! There are times I have to do it with the kids and there are times I am blessed to have Fil watch them. Whatever keeps your mind health and gets you out for some you time for 30-45 minutes!
6. SHOWER
This sounds silly but showering is one of the most peaceful things for me. I shower at night when the kids go down so it’s quiet and relaxing. I light some candles and keep the light dim and use the shower as my night meditation. My good friend Claudia from Bloom energy taught me to thank my body in the shower, to use my hands and place them on every area and thank my body for all that it has given me. It’s a beautiful and peaceful practice that will leave you feeling Zen!
7. PHONES OFF
Social media! We are attached to our phones it’s insane! So taking time away every day is something that is a must in our house hold!!
I hope you take away something that you can do to help clear your mind and make your day less stressful!!
