Mommy's Mental Health

Mommy's Mental Health

A Stay-at-home moms mental health is something I don't feel like is talked about near enough. You're entire life as a SAHM, from the time you open your eyes, is being lived for someone ellse. You're either your kids mom, the maid cleaning the house, the cook making sure everyone eats, or you're husbands wife(if this part applies to you). Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore being a mom and a wife, but it is easy to lose yourself in the everyday motions of doing everything for everyone but yourself. Always find things you can do for yourself it's seriously so important. If it's just something as small as taking a bubble bath to relax, make time for that. Kick everyone out of the bathroom(because I know you never get to go alone), and take your 30 minute bath by yourself. Maybe even get out and put on a face mask, moisturize, and paint your nails. Some days when I wake up unmotivated and down I get dressed with hair, makeup, and a cute outfit. I definitely believe the saying if you look better you feel better. I know you already have a lot going on, but a hobby can also be a good outlet for all your overwhelming feelings. I, myself am in the process of getting the materials to make car freshies to sell. Making a little money off something you enjoy doing could give you an amazing sense of self worth. And these days there's so many different things you can do to make money. If car freshies aren't your thing you could always try tumblers, making shirts, or if you're the artsy type do some painting. People pay big while you're just doing something you enjoy.  In conclusion, mom, do something for you.. stop being so selfless. You do enough of that and you deserve a few minutes to be a little selfish.

Coming from your fellow tired mom, you deserve everything and then some. You are the most important person in your kids lives, and everything you do deserves all the recognition. 

Love, your fellow tired mom.
