Balancing Work Life and Motherhood

Being a mom is hard. Working full time is hard. The two both co-exist, and manage to make life difficult; sometimes simultaneously, sometimes alternately. Life has a really fun way of knowing exactly what to throw at you next!

Applying these tips on managing working full time and motherhood can help relieve daily stress, and lead to a healthier, balanced lifestyle.

💛set realistic goals

Don’t try to cram all things into one day. You’re only one person who can do so much. Prioritizing is key to setting realistic goals.

💛 create a schedule

Getting a large dry erase calendar that you can keep track of your family schedules, and day to day activities, can help take a mental load off your mind. Having tangible reminders of when / where you and your family should be every day is super convenient.

💛 delegate tasks + chores

Don’t be afraid to ask for help! If your significant other is home to help with the chaos of dinner time & next day prep, then utilize them!!!

💛 practice self care

Take a nap, read a book, take a bath, go on a run, lay in a dark room and listen to music, eat a nutritious meal. Do whatever you want to do that will bring you peace and allow you to reset.

Know that you are appreciated and loved for all the hard work you put in to support your family. It’s important to remember to reap your rewards, and take the time to invest in YOU.
