Mini-Moments for Mommy Escapes
Being a work-at-home-mom (WAHM) is a tough job. You have so many responsibilities, so many different roles, and only so many hours during the day. It can be difficult to fit in all that needs to be done, let alone have any time left for relaxation or simply breathing. The trick to finding time for yourself is to create mini-moments for mommy. These moments will lift your spirits and lighten your load. Try some of the ideas below to create your own moments of relaxation.
Cheerful Chocolate
It is rare to find a woman who does not like some sort of chocolate. The key to creating a mini-moment for mommy is to always have that type of chocolate on hand. Keep it hidden in a high cabinet or on the top shelf of the refrigerator where small hands cannot reach it. When you need a moment to recharge and calm down, sneak off to the kitchen and have a small bite of chocolate. Even if you are on a diet and concerned with healthy eating, a small piece of dark chocolate can make a huge difference in your mood. Beside, dark chocolate is good for you! If chocolate is not your thing, use whatever works for you.
Bathroom Breaks
One of those secrets that moms do not let out very often is that we sometimes hide in the bathroom. If you are having a rough day or just need a breather, escape to the bathroom for two or three minutes to recharge. Wash your face, brush your hair or just sit and breathe. It may not be a fancy spa, but when you are a busy WAHM, those tiny escapes, even to the bathroom by yourself, feel luxurious. Keep a new magazine and a pretty scented candle in the bathroom, so that you can take advantage of them when you have a few extra moments of quiet.
