How to Manage Stress As Busy Moms

14 Jul
Spread the love
Tweet

It can seem like being busy is something that is considered normal, and almost like a badge of honor. What do you do if you’re not busy? However, even if it is considered the norm, being busy can cause problems for health and stress levels, and it can mean that you feel tired, overwhelmed, and feel very stressed. That is why stress relief is important for us all, particularly for those of us who are busy and it’s important we handle stress as a busy mom in the best way we can

 

When things are busy, it can be hard to just think that you’ll be able to have time to relax and destress, as there are so many other things that you could be doing. Stress management is something that is so important, though, so one of the things that you can do for yourself, as well as for others, is to find something simple and quick that works for you, that will allow you to relax a little, but won’t take so much time out of your day. Here are some suggestions to try. 

ARE YOU A BUSY MOM?

Choose a quick and easy stress reliever

If you’re going through your day feeling busy or feeling stressed, then it can stop you from being able to relax. There are some quick fixes to this, though, that won’t take hours, so they can slot into your day. Something that is as simple as deep breathing or meditation can help to relax your body, and to halt any stress. Find something quick and easy that works for you, and remember to implement it in your everyday life.

 

Reduce how much caffeine you consume

If you are someone that relies on coffee or cola to get through your day, then overall, you could be making yourself feel worse. When you have too much caffeine, then you can stop yourself from being able to rest as well, and it can lead to a cycle of sleep deprivation if it becomes extreme. By knowing what damage caffeine can do to your stress levels, you’ll see that it makes complete sense to cut down. 

 

Find a hobby that you can enjoy

A hobby that you can do, where you’re no longer mom or wife or colleague, can be such a good thing for your stress levels. It could be baking, cooking, running, other exercise, reading, a team sport, or even puzzles and games. If something like puzzles can make you feel more stressed when you get stuck, then you could always look for a website to help you to unscramble words, for example. When you make some time for your hobby because you enjoy it, then it will help with your stress levels in a big way. 

 

Learn to say no

Learning to say no is something that can be difficult, especially when there are so many things that we feel we ought to be doing. However, in order to look after your levels of stress, you need to learn that you don’t need to be doing everything, not all at the same time, anyway. Reduce your load and it will help you to feel less stressed.

I know I missed my Tabletop Tuesday post yesterday I know I missed my Tabletop Tuesday post yesterday, but I still had one in mind… Do you do breakfast in bed for Mother’s Day?  If so, here’s a fun little way you can present Mother’s Day breakfast (cereal or oatmeal) to that special momma this weekend!  I love the bling that disco balls give any room so using a disco ball drink cup as a vase is the perfect way to add some glamour!  Fresh flowers, succulents and floral plates round out the setting!  I added a few things like a dollar tree flower placemat underneath and a rattan charger too.  Don’t be afraid to mix and match and try weird things!  Sometimes the best mishmashes and unexpected combinations turn out quite magical!

Do you enjoy tabletop decor?!? I’ve decided I th Do you enjoy tabletop decor?!? I’ve decided I think I’ll try to do “Tabletop Tuesdays” and since I missed this week, it’s gonna be Tabletop Thursday!  This is a quick and easy place setting for the derby and I had everything but the paper plates which I grabbed for yesterdays share and the napkins!  It’s not anything fancy but it’s still sweet!  Melamine plate topped with a paper dessert/snack plate and finally topped with party napkins from @partycity and gold flatware!  Add a trophy or horse or both and you are set! 

We’ll be at a friends for the Derby this year but you can still have fun even if you aren’t hosting!
