"What is most worth spending on a child is your time." - Louise Hart
But sometimes mothers also need time for themselves. Sometimes they feel extremely tired, everything is cluttered, children are running around screaming and all they want is a little time to themselves.
They are probably thinking about what needs to be done, what to make for dinner, how to be a good example to their children, and so on. But as important as all of these things are, they will need to take a breather from time to time!
Here are 4 reasons why, dear mom, you need to take a break!
1. This will have a positive effect on your relationship with your children
Every mother wants to provide her children with a beautiful, caring, peaceful childhood in order to take care of them. But the fact is, moms can get extremely tired with their daily chores. They need time to calm their emotions and enjoy some time away from the loud atmosphere at home. In addition, it will be an opportunity for children, who often take mothers for granted, to appreciate more everything that mothers do for them.
2. This is the time to be the best version of yourself again
Every now and then, moms reach a point of burnout. None of them want that. Mother burnout occurs when she is so focused on her work throughout the day that dealing with unexpected circumstances that arise in between will derail her.
3. It will remind you that you also need to take care of yourself
When women become mothers, it's easy to forget their own needs. Their children become the central part of their life and their life starts to revolve only around them. Mothers, deeply focused on providing the best for them, forget that they too are human beings with needs and wants. That they need to think about themselves sometimes and that will bring a sense of calmness to her mind and body.
4. It will improve your health
Short breaks, vacations, can do wonders for their overall health. There are moments that can quickly raise their stress and anxiety levels and their health can quickly sink into a dark place. They have to find ways to relax all their senses - which leads them to be more calm.
Dear woman, dear mother, the effects of a good massage can also help you with this.
Massage is an excellent method if you want to take a break from the carousel of family life 24 hours a day. It reduces stress, relaxes the body and mind and even relieves pain. In addition, it helps to relieve depression and anxiety or bad mood in general.
It is also beneficial for mothers going through postpartum depression, as it can ease body pain, reduce swelling, regulate hormones, and even improve breastfeeding. Find a massage therapist who specializes in perinatal and postpartum massages.
It is a great way to combat stress and negativity, allowing you to be calmer, kinder and more relaxed and happy.
Taking care of yourself is the key to being the best mom you can be! So what are you waiting for?
