Five Tips for Personal Mom-provement

6

Moms are some of the busiest people on the planet. With schedules packed full of soccer games, doctors’ appointments, school meetings, and taking care of each family member’s needs, you rarely have much time left for yourself. However, making room for a little me-time is vital to your ability to continue providing for your family.

Set Aside Time for Yourself

What’s the first step? Clearly, making time to meet your own needs is the first and biggest challenge that you’ll face. At first, you may feel some dismay or guilt over participating in activities that don’t involve your kids, but as you start to reap the benefits and recognize improvements at home, you’ll find that sticking to your personal commitment becomes easier. Schedule “me-time” on your calendar and write it there with permanent ink!

Identify Your Goals and Dreams

When was the last time that you completed something on your list of personal dreams? Can you remember those things that you used to do for fun? The second step in focusing on your own needs is to identify those goals that you would like to accomplish or the things that you like to do in your downtime. When you know exactly how you’re going to spend those few precious moments, you’ll find that they are much more meaningful to you. So whether you want to curl up with a good book or run a few laps at the gym, your advance preparation will encourage your success.

Learn to Involve the Family in Your Pursuits

Another important tip for enjoying time for yourself is to look for ways that you can achieve your personal goals while spending time with your kids. For example, you can listen to your favorite music while dancing around the kitchen with the little ones. Share some basics of your chosen hobbies with your children so that they can participate appropriately in their own sphere, while you enjoy pursuing your passion. Try out geocaching, family games, water sports, cooking together, and other activities that can be done as a group.

Focus on Personal Fitness

Don’t neglect your physical health. Too many moms eat the scraps left on their children’s plates and count vacuuming as their workout for the day. Eventually, poor health and a lack of energy will catch up with you if you neglect your diet and exercise routine. Did you know that many gyms and health clubs offer child care programs, specifically so that busy moms can enjoy a healthier routine? It’s easier to exercise when you know that your children are cared for and entertained.

Create a Support Group

Finally, find support from other moms. You aren’t the only one facing the trials and struggles that affect mothers; in fact, if they are being honest, most other moms feel the same way, or have at some point in their child-rearing career. Who is better suited to provide you with support and guidance than other women who are facing the same situations? Working together with other moms, supporting each other, and offering comfort and strength, you’ll find that the quest to improve yourself is a very good way to strengthen the bonds of your entire family.
