4 tricks to Avoid Becoming Overwhelmed as a Mom®

It’s normal to go through weird phases as a mom. Some days you will get everything right and ensure that everything is in order, but there are those days that you just want to escape from feeding the kids, diaper changes, and playing with them. Don’t get me wrong, motherhood is a beautiful responsibility, but you’re never off the clock.

Since you may not be a super mom, you will often feel exhausted and overwhelmed. But how can you avoid this? Here are some tricks to help you avoid becoming an overwhelmed mom.

Step Out Regularly

Make a point of stepping up regularly, and increase your time outside. Plan to have an entire day by yourself and do the things you love, whether it’s a spa date, hiking, or shopping, just to have some space. There’s something about spending time outdoors and taking a mommy day out.

You’ll be surprised how your emotions change and have a positive perspective on all that’s going on.

Journal Your Thoughts

If you can’t manage to spend some time outdoors, journaling your thoughts is a simple way to avoid getting overwhelmed. Take a pen and dump all your endless swirl of thoughts onto a piece of paper. It doesn’t matter how you feel, don’t shy off writing down even the negative thoughts. Journaling gives your brain much-needed space, and you can now think straight with an uncluttered mind.

Schedule Some Downtime

Don’t feel compelled to accomplish every task on your to-do list. Considering everything you must do for your kids, it’s a lot, especially when adding motherhood to your busy lifestyle. You end up prioritizing getting everything done over resting, making it overwhelming. You must lower your go-go-go mentality and schedule time for some downtime.

Having some downtime offers you something to look forward to and a break from all the chaos. Enjoy a day of doing nothing, motivating you to tackle what lies ahead.

Ask for Help

Motherhood takes a lot out of you, and you must balance it with working, being a wife, and running the house. You don’t have to do it alone while crumbling inside, so don’t be afraid to ask for and accept help. So delegate as much as possible to give you some space to rest. And don’t guilt-trip yourself for not having it all together. Well, nobody does.

You Got This!

Don’t feel guilty for being overwhelmed; it happens to the best of us. It’s okay to take a break from all your to-do list that is weighing you down and take a breather. Take the pressure off yourself by stepping out regularly, journaling your thoughts, scheduling downtime, and asking for help.
