The Break That All Work At Home Moms Deserve
Without me saying, I believe all work at home moms do feel that they are busy everyday and it seems that the list of to-do’s is endless. Being a busy work at home mom myself, I sometimes fall into the mommy guilt trap where I start to neglect my own interests.
Many moms feel guilty if they take time for themselves and end up taking care of everyone else around them and putting their own needs aside. This can leave you feeling burn out, stressed, tired, unhappy and sometimes resentful. During the journey of motherhood, it is easy to lose ourselves along the way and inadvertently cut off or not seek out the support from others.
Therefore, I always encourage all stay at home and work at home moms to give yourself time to unwind, socialize and network with others, especially other work at home moms. And with today’s technology advancement, you can network online via email or other social networking platforms. This allows you to open up to others while rediscovering yourself. When you socialize with other moms, you can gain support, ideas and tips to assist you with deal with certain parenting and relationship concerns from others who have dealt with the same issues.
Even when you are busy, you can always connect with other stay at home or work at home moms during your kids’ activities. Start getting to know other moms at your kid’s soccer practice or after her ballet class. Start looking out for other networking opportunities and you may even set aside time every fortnight to have tea with a friend.
