We all know when it’s time for a break, a release from motherhood, you time, girls night, or at least I know the signal that rings “GET OUT” haha.    Whenever I’m starting to feel slightly like I’m going to lose my mind, and my patience runs thin, or I raise my voice at Oaks (which I feel bad for always)  I KNOW it’s time for a break.  By break I mean, alone time from it, getting away for even an hour.  Something that makes you feel like you again.  Don’t lose yourself in this motherhood “game”.  You gotta take care of you.  If you don’t take care of you, you will start to see a pattern of anger, annoyance, irritability etc… I know this because I’ve dealt with it a lot.  Sometimes I feel guilty of wanting a break.  But you gotta do it. 

Guess what? It makes us a better mom, and then we can ACTUALLY live in the moment and ENJOY it.  Not looking at the clock like “ugh I’ve only been playing with him for 10 mins” haha.  You know what I mean.  Motherhood is so exhausting.  Here are some things I do that keep me SANE, and more calm and ready to TAKE ON MOTHERHOOD every day.  Find a babysitter and do it for yourself.

  1. Go out & chat with a friend, or family member- someone who makes you feel better, and makes you feel like you again.  
  2. Gym time- I like to mix up my routine.  I don’t always love working out from home.  Breaking away & getting into a different environment helps me feel human and normal in society haha.
  3. Go to Starbucks and read a book.  I always like to read something that motivates me to do better, and self improvement books.  A book that has changed my life is “THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK” & “THE WAR OF ART“. Or I will just go on my computer and get work done. 
  4. Sister time- my sister is my best friend and soulmate haha.  I can’t live without her.  She inspires me to be a better person.  She is an amazing person and I’m so grateful to have such a positive soul in my life!  
  5. Go shopping- even if its grocery shopping!  But do it by yourself!

Take time for yourself!  Be nice to yourself, and be a little selfish from time to time.  Because it really helps us to NOT be selfish when it comes to our kiddos.  What do you moms do to break away everyday?  Please share!

 

 

Have a great day!

If you don’t already know about my SECRET FB GROUP called LOVE HIIT BG BABES, you should check it out and join!  You don’t have to have my fitness plans to join.  The reason I created it was so that we could all get to know each other better.  I wanted a support group for all of us ladies to help each other out daily!  Whether it be through motivation through fitness goals, tips on beauty, tips on recipes, hair, make up, postpartum, waxing, marriage, dating tips… literally whatever!  Plus exclusive discount codes on my fitness guides, and giveaways!  Lots and lots of fun things going to be happening!  

Through getting to know all of you through DM has been amazing, and I wanted an easier way for us all to communicate in one place!  I want you all to feel comfortable sharing things with each other!  We’re all friends and women just trying to support each other.  I believe that women should lift each other up, not tear down.  It’s hard enough being a woman in todays world!  Lets all come together and support each other by giving advice, help and all the love!  

I’m sick of talking about me, and I want to get to know all of YOU.  This is what I do it for.  I live for helping others and lifting others up!  That’s what life is about. Spreading love. NOT hate.    There is so much hate going on, and I want to do anything I can to change that!   Even if I can help one of you, that will make everything SO beyond worth it.  I love all your support and I want you all to walk away with value after reading anything I post.  Thats what it’s about!

So please! Share anything you want with me!   If you want me to post something specific, please let me know!  I love getting recommendations on what you want to hear.   

Have a Great weekend!

xoxo,
