I was told "Mom's don't get breaks" and this is why I'm writing this particular blog, for all the tired moms, for all the moms that cry themselves to sleep, for the single moms who truly have no help and no one to rely on but themselves, know that i see you and I'm proud of you. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you don't get a break or that you don't deserve a break. I want to encourage you to find a moment every now and again to rest, to find some YOU time, your emotional and mental health as well as your child/children depend on it.
Being a mom (Motherhood) is filled with highs and lows, and it's filled with so much joy andĀ frustration all at the same time. Having a child brings love that completely overwhelms you and knocks you off your feet as well as exhaustion that at times (sometimes more often than not) makes you want to cry.
If you are a mom of toddlers, then you understand that you are never alone with your thoughts. All day every day you're being touched and needed, and you're always on demand. From the moment they wake up to the moment they go bed at night, You aren't allowed to have "a moment", you don't get to brush your teeth or shower or try to find something clean to wear. And God forbid you have to go to the bathroom. They are right behind you knocking on the door or crying or whining.
Christine Organ, uses the term āsoul-tired.ā Motherhood can make you soul-tired, especially if you arenāt taking good care of yourself.
As moms we have to realize that at times we need a break. Truth is, for many of us, the break is long over due!, why do we need a break? Well, someone said "Love is a limitless resource, energy is not. Love is your engine, and energy is your fuel. Without fuel, all the love in the world is not going to get you anywhere.
So let's talk about taking a break. What can you do just to maintain your mental health?. Perhaps at some point during the day we can escape and be alone with our thoughts, or if/when the little ones are down for a nap you can find a moment to read or catch up on that show you like, or perhaps you could even join a mom support group which is both needful and helpful or you can get someone to watch the kids so you can go and get your nails done and treat yourself to a YOU day. We as moms have to do everything we can to maintain our mental and emotional health for the sake of our children and ourselves.
It's like, sometimes when we are out, and we see friends, associates or even family, and they ask how are we doing? We tend to say we are fine, but we're not fine, and we know it, we are really not ok. I've learned that it's ok to not be ok. As much as we want to be supermom all the time, sometimes it's really hard.
So Moms, i really want to stress to you that you deserve a break. You need a mental break, you need to power down from time to time because how can you be good to your kids if you can't first be good to you? Remember moms you matter!!!!
