Prioritizing Mother's Wellness: Mindset Shift and Daily Self-Care
Prioritizing Mother's Wellness: Mindset Shift and Daily Self-Care
Are you a mom who feels guilty every time you take a moment for yourself? Imagine the freedom of breaking away from that guilt and embracing self-care as a vital part of your routine.
As a physician, In 2018, I decided to change my career and stay at home with my kids. Initially, it was a struggle to carve out "me time" because I thought that as a mother, I needed always to put my kids first. For five years, I neglected my own wellness, believing that being available for my children 24/7 was the best way to show my love and dedication. However, this mindset only led to burnout and diminished well-being.
Eventually, I realized that prioritizing my wellness was not only beneficial but essential. By taking care of myself first, I discovered that I could take care of my kids and my husband better. This perspective shift made me a more patient, energetic, and happier mother and wife!
Here are some actionable tips to help you shift your mindset and prioritize self-care daily.
1. Schedule "Me Time" Daily
Just like you would schedule a doctor's appointment or a work meeting, schedule your self-care time. Whether it's 15 minutes of meditation, a quick walk in the park, or reading a book, make sure it's on your calendar and treat it as non-negotiable!
2. Create a Support System
Surround yourself with people who understand the importance of your well-being. This could be understanding family members, friends, or even a community of like-minded moms. Having a support system ensures that you have encouragement and accountability. It's easier to prioritize your wellness when others are rooting for you and reminding you of its importance.
3. Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness can transform your self-care routine by helping you stay present and appreciate those moments of calm. Mindfulness can be as simple as sitting quietly for a few minutes, focusing on your breath, or savouring a warm mug of tea or coffee while paying attention to the warmth of the mug in your hands. This habit can lower stress and enhance your emotional well-being.
4. Set Boundaries4
It's crucial to set boundaries with your time and energy. Learn to say no to requests or commitments that don't serve your well-being or align with your priorities. Setting boundaries is an act of self-love. It ensures you have enough time and energy for the things that truly matter, including your self-care.
