Recharge, reduce stress and maintain your mental and physical well-being by taking some ‘me-time’. Keep reading to know how and why to have ‘me-time’, especially if you are a mom.
Motherhood is a phase in life where expectations meet reality, dreams meet responsibilities, and challenges must be faced head-on. You can waltz your way into motherhood, but living it is nothing less than a roller coaster ride. You, as a mother, might be juggling between children, family, friends and work, and if we are not wrong, you must be trying to do it all at the same time. We know that being a mother, taking care of your kid is the most important job of your life, but is it all that defines you? As a mother, it is important to take care of yourself too. Motherhood and self-care go hand in hand. So, to all the mothers out there, we have a question. Are you doing enough?
No, we don’t question your skills in taking care of your child. What we want to know is whether you are doing enough to take care of yourself. Is spending some ‘Me-Time’, a part of your daily routine?
Why You Must Spend ‘Me-Time’ 
You, as a mother, have a lot on your plate. It’s not an easy feat! However, we want to remind you that it’s essential to prioritize yourself amidst all the chaos. This is exactly where the dire need for ‘me-time’ comes into picture!
This isn’t just a fancy term that rose to prominence because of GenZs or feminists, and it is definitely not about being selfish. ‘Me-time’ is all about self-care. Trust us, mommies, when we say that self-care is important, we really mean it. It’s about taking a moment out for yourself, every day (whether it’s for 10 minutes or an hour), to solely focus on yourself and indulge in activities that bring a smile to your face and relax your mind, body, and soul. It could be spending quality time with your feline friends, reading your favorite page-3 magazine, or enjoying a cup of coffee sitting in the garden appreciating the lush view – all before the morning mayhem begins!
Believe it or not, ‘me-time’ really helps! It helps you bounce back to your SuperWoMOM duties feeling 10X charged and refreshed, ready to tackle anything and everything with a smile!
How to Indulge in ‘Me-time’
Find Mental Peace:
Can you relate to the feeling of wishing for just a few more hours in the day for yourself? As mothers, you have so many responsibilities and wear so many hats that it can be hard to find time for yourself. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish – it’s necessary for your mental and physical health, as well as your happiness. As a mom, you need to prioritize your own well-being so that you can better take care of your children.
So, make sure you’re setting aside at least 15 minutes a day to do something just for yourself. Whether that means reading a book, going for a walk, or indulging in a hobby, it’s important to have that time to regroup and recharge. And don’t be afraid to take it a step further – plan a solo trip or treat yourself to a weekend at a resort. These experiences can give you a fresh perspective and help you appreciate all the good things in your life.
Remember, me-time isn’t a luxury that detracts from your parenting – it’s a necessary part of being a happy and healthy mom. So go ahead, take that time for yourself – you deserve it!
Be Emotionally Independent
As a mother, your life revolves around your children. But when they eventually fly the nest, it can leave you feeling empty and devoid. That’s why it’s important to work towards emotional independence.
Emotional independence is not about suppressing your emotions or running away from them. It’s about learning to acknowledge and manage your feelings without depending on external validation.
If you’re looking to cultivate emotional independence, we recommend starting with a simple exercise. Write down the thoughts and beliefs that keep you emotionally dependent, such as “I need others to validate my feelings.” Then, practice replacing those thoughts with more neutral and adaptive ones like “I am capable of handling difficult emotions that come up.”
By taking these small steps, you can learn to be more emotionally self-sufficient and find a sense of peace within yourself. Trust us, it’s worth it!
Financially Independent
We all know the importance of financial independence. But how many of you, as mothers, practice it? There are many in the world who still depend on their partners for financial support. In fact, there are many working women who take help from others when it comes to investments or filing taxes. Financial independence is not just about earning for yourself or your family. It is also about managing your finances.
Spare some time to learn about finance, taxes and investment in order to make informed decisions and secure your financial future. Investment plans are crucial for securing your financial future. Explore easy and simple ways to earn money. This will help you gain independence and feel empowered. Invest your time in developing a hobby that has the potential to generate income.
Online surveys are a fantastic option if you want to earn money from the comfort of your home. With just a few clicks, you can start earning cash by sharing your opinions and insights with top brands and companies. The Panel Station is an excellent online survey platform that offers amazing rewards in the form of cash and gift vouchers for completing surveys. You’ll love how quick and hassle-free it is!

Let Your Voice be Heard
As a mom, you know that your family’s happiness and well-being are your top priorities. It’s easy for your own wishes and dreams to get pushed aside in the face of all your other responsibilities. But here’s the thing – it’s time to break that pattern and start putting yourself first.

2 years agoHappy Mother’s Day! Today is a time to honor and celebrate the incredible mothers who selflessly love, support, and nurture us. Whether biological, adoptive, or mother figures, their impact is immeasurable. They are our pillars of strength, teaching us, guiding us, and shaping us into who we become. Let’s show our gratitude and appreciation, whether through gestures, messages, or quality time. And let’s remember those who may find this day difficult. To all the amazing mothers, thank you for your endless love and sacrifices. Happy Mother’s Day!

2 years agoWork at home moms multi task. This way of life could be stressful and could affect their mental and physical health. One of the best options for a “me time” is a weekend resort where you get the time to relax your mind, body and soul and at the same time, earn extra income by participating in surveys in a cool and relaxed environment

2 years agoMother’s day is not only a day which we have to celebrate or wait for this occassion or day. Mother is one of the priceless gift which god had given us. So celebrate this day regularly not by giving gifts or jewellery or expensive gifts. Just take care of her by giving her on face.
Moms don’t get days off, nor do they receive handsome salaries or generous pensions. Instead, their rewards come in the form of sticky kisses, necklaces made of elbow macaroni, and the satisfaction of seeing their children grow up to be happy, healthy adults. That’s probably not adequate compensation — so give Mom an extra hug or a special gift on Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May, just in case, and follow our guide to giving back.
Love your mother.

2 years agoMother’s day,
यह एक खूबसूरत समय बिताने का दिन है। रोज हम अपने कामो मे व्यस्था रहते है। यह हकीकत है। ये तो बोलने की बात है रोज माँ के लिए समय निकालो। पर आज के समय मे ऐसा नही हो पा रहा। Mother’s day एक दिन की छुट्टी लेकर हम एक यादगार दिन बना सकते है। इस दिन हर कोई mother ‘s day बनता है। जैसे ही mother’s Day आता है खुशी आ जाती है मन मे । इस दिन को ओर खूबसूरत बनाने के लिए हम बाहर घूमने जा सकते है जैसे जहा आप अपना पुरा समय माँ के साथ रह सकते है। मेरे लिए तो best mother’s Day plane है morming मे चर्च जाना, यहाँ सबसे अच्छा होता हम गोद से pray करना की माँ की लम्बी उम्र हो, health अच्छी रहे और अगला आने वाला mother’s Day
पर मे फिर मे माँ के साथ आ सकूँ। God :thanks you God कहु। इतने अच्छी माँ ने मुझे जन्म।
ये idea बहुत अच्छा है

2 years agoMother’s Day is a holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May in many countries around the world. It is a day to honor mothers and mother figures for their love, care, and influence in the family and society. The holiday was first celebrated in the United States in 1908 by Anna Jarvis, who wanted to tribute her mother and all mothers for their sacrifices and contributions. Today, people usually celebrate the day by giving gifts, sending cards, or spending time with their mother or maternal figure. It is also a popular day for brunches, dinners, and other gatherings with family and friends.
