Being a woman is a hard job, all women will agree to this. Being a mom and having a full time job will only add to this. Women have tried for years to balance their roles as employee, and parent. We can sometimes forget to take care of our health in the rush of our daily lives. When it is your job to take care of other people you can sometimes forget to take care of yourself.
We all know that drinking our orange juice every morning is healthy. This is not easily accomplished while rushing out the door to get to work and drop the kids at school. Most women feel that they accomplished a miracle if they simply remembered to grab their laptop bag, they are hardly thinking about the unfinished glass of OJ. After dropping the children at school and getting to work with no time to spare you can finally take a breathe. Does this sound like your mornings?
Of course this will happen on occasion to the best of us, but it does not have to be like this every day. If you always seem to be rushing in the mornings, you can try getting up half an hour earlier. You should also have the clothes for you and your kids laid out the night before. If after trying these tips and you find it does not help, you may want to try to make a morning schedule and following it.
Balancing your life is possible you just need to find something that works for you. When you finally get home after a long day at work, chauffeuring children around, cleaning your home, and feeding your family, you surely do not want to think about a schedule. Even so, you should make one anyway. This schedule can turn your house into a home instead of a circus.
While making your family schedule you should give yourself at least an hour every night to take care of your needs. You will find that having your needs met make it easier to meet everyone else’s needs. Tell your family that during your hour each night that you are not to be disturbed.
Grab a great book and a glass of your favorite wine and climb into a hot bath tub. This is something you have earned so do not feel guilty about taking this time. The restless nights will become a thing of the past. Retiring for the night will be something you look forward to, not something you dread anymore. You will be surprised how much better you can sleep when you are not climbing into bed stressed. When you relax, you life will become more relaxed.
This may not seem possible but trust me that old saying ‘if moms not happy no one is’ is a very true statement. Try giving yourself an hour each night to pamper yourself and I assure you that you will be able to toss the hair loss vitamin bottle you have under your cabinet.
