Feasible Self-Care Ideas For Stay-at-home Moms

Hi fellas,

As promised before, I am going to share with you all, the self-care strategy that helped me get over the gruesome parental blues that had been haunting me last week. My rejuvenation plan consists of easy-to-implement, inexpensive ideas that any stay-at-home mom can incorporate into their routine right away.

Check it out..

• • • Keep your rooms and kitchen ventilated and well-lit. Let in as much sunlight as possible.
    • Stay hydrated. Drink water before you feel thirsty.
    • Listen to your favorite songs while doing the kitchen chores.
    • Soak your feet in a tub of warm water for 5-10 minutes. If not daily, do it at least thrice a week. This can uplift your mood instantly.
    • Scrub your face before you hit the bed.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  • • Ensure the kitchen sink is empty and clean at night.
    • Practice deep breathing techniques.
    • Invest in potpourris.
    • De-clutter the wardrobe, kid’s room and living room as often as you can.
    • Practice mindfulness.
    • Dance and sing like no one is watching you.
    • Do not compare your life with others.
    • Read good stuff. If not books, at least stick to magazines or blogs.
    • Unfollow people whose updates do not influence you in a positive manner.
    • Play with your child’s toys.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  • Do not hesitate to say ‘No’.

• • Be kind to yourself.
  • Oil-massage your scalp whenever you find time.
  • Make peace with your partner. Always.
  • Try a new hobby.
  • Talk to people who genuinely care for your well-being.
  • Focus on your posture.
  • If you spend too much time online, do not get carried away by the dramatic lives of people. Instead, focus on information that really matters to you.
  • Cut down an unnecessary expense every month and save the sum for a bigger cause.
  • Compete with your best version in the past and become an even better person in the future.
  • Chant slogans or mantras when you undertake an arduous or monotonous task.
  • Find reasons to go on a walk.
  • Observe the little things around you.
  • Count your blessings.
  • Write down your weekly goals.
  • Last but not the least.. Be grateful for what you have. Now matter how inadequate it seems, remember, it is someone else’s infeasible fairy tale”.
