This is something I have always struggled with, and I know you have too. I am a mother of three young kiddos and by the time I get done with the daily chaos and they.re in bed, the last thing I want to do is spend five minutes on facial products. How do we find the time or the energy to do anything for ourselves? We spend nearly every ounce we have taking the kids to sports, doing homework, disciplining, cleaning, washing the endless clothes that pile up, it never ends. By the time we have one second to breathe, the last thing we want to do is get up and do something for ourselves. But shouldn’t we? We deserve it! We have to stop making excuses and do this for ourselves. Our skin needs us for crying out loud!
These are achievable regiments that encourage self-care and stress-free moments in Motherhood
*Positivity
*Exercise
*Achievable Beauty Regiment
There is a solution and it's easy, I promise! It took me too many years to be honest, of making excuses and saying the famous last words “I’ll start on Monday” to start actually doing something for myself. It’s hard when you get caught up in the chaos and forget that the director of the chaos is entitled to feel good about herself. That's us girls! We deserve to feel pretty, positive, less anxious, put together and less stressed for sure!
Taking some pride in ourselves is positive for our whole family. I think that we know how much mood can affect mental clarity and family dynamics even for just a day. What are some positive things we can do to create less stress for ourselves Momma’s?!
Decide what your day could look like. What do you have time for? We all feel strapped for time as mothers. There just isn't enough of it in so many senses. Ok, so what is something reasonable you can do for yourself during the day or after the kiddos hit the hay?
EXERCISE
EXERCISE girls! This can be so many things! We aren't talking about going to the gym for an hour here girls!
I work sixteen-hour shifts, and I still convince myself to do a five-minute HIIT workout. Girls it is five minutes of your time, we all have five minutes even as mothers! They range from beginner to advanced and there are so many variations in workouts and time ranges that there is one for each of you. You can do it! I promise you’ll feel better in beauty and in motherhood!
Don’t forget swimming with the kiddos and throwing them in the pool counts too! Walking the dogs for just a little bit longer than normal can make such a big difference too. Girls get creative, you’ve got this one! Get with the other Momma’s at school or one of your friends and take time out for yourselves. Walk in the Downtown where you live, grab a coffee and have good conversation. So awesome for mental clarity and you’re getting some exercise and hopefully a Pumpkin Spice Latte girls!
SELFCARE
So, this next one is so important to me. I brushed it aside for so many years because I just didn't have the energy. The quicker I could get my head to reach the pillow is exactly what I did. I recently turned thirty-nine and I decided the one thing I had always tried and said I was going to do, I had to commit too. Fully and truly. Twenty-three days makes a habit, and I was determined not to fail this time. I had tried beauty regiments for my less than perfect skin, but I gave up after about a week and went back to doing nothing for myself or my skin. But girls I have found it! And I committed and you can too! Ok first I’ll tell y’all one more little story and then I will tell you what it is and how I did it! Oh, and where you Mommas can get it too!
So, I thought my skin was looking so much better and I was looking younger (halleluiah) but no one had affirmed this for me until recently. Here I was, fully committed, I felt great but why wasn’t anyone noticing the difference? Then, I was at work the other day and it started happening for me! First my patients started telling me how young I looked and then the girls whom I had worked with for more than ten years started complimenting how I looked too! I mean what in tarnation! We never like to think anything positive about ourselves, but girls this is working for me, and it can work for you too!
Ok we talked about how much time we don't have as mothers. I challenge you to have just a few extra moments in the morning (optional for more commitment but totally worth it) and at night. You have to try this! It is inexpensive and it makes you feel like you have some self-worth again! My skin feels great after and I feel accomplished. It literally is five minutes I can’t do without each day. My red cheeks, which have always bothered me but clearly not enough to commit to a simple beauty regiment, are no more! Five minutes! And just so everyone knows I have way exceeded my 23 days! I have a new habit and it's a positive one! Please do it for yourself! I wish I hadn’t waited so long, and this is the one regret you’ll have when you try it too!
I want this for you too! Once you implement this into your daily life Caring for yourself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation. We spend our days putting our little humans first. You deserve to feel great about yourself, be proud of your worth and value selfcare. Motherhood needs you to be the best YOU and you can do it by being healthy and well in all senses!
Alright my beautiful Momma’s are you in!? You deserve this and your beautiful kiddos deserve this YOU too! Let me know how much you love this beauty regiment and what you think about how little time it actually takes! Don’t wait until you’re thirty-nine like I did! You deserve to look young, rested and beautiful! Click here to get started!
Until next time Mommas, be patient and remember childhood does not last forever, you got this!
