10 tips on how to stay a calm mom

Ordinary mom's everyday life: cooking, cleaning, shopping, playgrounds and millions of questions, mixed with tantrums and tears of futility. Often the mother is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. After all, to endure all this from day to day requires a huge internal resource. How to stay calm and not break down on your husband and children?

1. Try to be rested 

Just try it, because we all know that when you are a mother, it is not always possible to do it. We strongly recommend that you go to sleep with your baby and go with him into the night.

2. Get up before the kids wake up

If possible, get up half an hour earlier than the children. You will see how life will sparkle with new colors. Just 30 minutes of silence and time spent with yourself alone will allow you to psychologically prepare for the day.

3. Make time for yourself

Women just need at least 10 minutes during the day for themselves. Not cleaning toys, not cooking. Just a coffee break and doing nothing.

4. Move schedule

Usually, by 4 pm, my mother’s energy reserve approaches zero. Try to plan everything in the morning to unload the afternoon. So you will free yourself from unnecessary nerves and will not break scream.

5. Remove multitasking

All moms are multitasking. Here we cook, at the same time organize a visit to the doctor, and answer the questions of the children. Often at this moment, either the porridge was burnt, or the recording was made at the wrong time, or the child was shouted at because he distracted you. Don't do that. Divide the day into hours: an hour is only for children, an hour is only for tasks.

6. Tame chaos

Dreaming that your entire apartment will be perfectly clean is not worth it. However, chaos and disorder are unnerving and stressful. If you can take it apart at least once a day, an unbalanced spot would be better.

We often identify with children, and are painful in many situations. For example, we say no, the child gets upset and cries, and we begin to eat ourselves up for it. Divide - and you will be calm at heart.

8. Accept and forgive

One thing will help your calmness - to accept everything as it is: eternal chaos and disorder in the house, tears and cries of babies. Do not be angry about this, do not punish children if they come under a hot hand. Just accept it.

9. Apologize

It is important, both for the family and for you, first of all, to be able to ask apologies. If you say these words to your children, you will not become weaker or fall in their eyes.

10. Speak out

Try to speak out - this is how we release all the negativity. If possible, maintain your peace of mind in sessions with a psychologist.
