Mothers work is never done!

Mothers work is never done!

            Mom’s today have busy work schedules.  Long days and long nights taking care of house work and their children.  Always busy with taking the kids to their soccer games, football, baseball, and dance resettles.  No time is ever wasted with cooking, cleaning, and running errands.  Even the dog is fed. Moms meet every ones needs before their own.  When is it moms turn to pamper themselves?  We neglect that we need time to ourselves.  There are a few ways I find relaxing and enjoy to do when I am over worked and stressed.

            I like to take time out for myself by getting a good book, run a hot bubbly bath and soak, read, and relax.  It relieves my stressful day and puts me in a relaxed mood.  I like to take long walks with headphones on listening to soothing music.  This gives me serenity.  Or just relaxing by our pond always puts me in a good mood.  The sounds of the water are tranquil and peaceful to your ears. You can also find many good ideas on pampering yourself and taking away some of the stress from those long over worked days. http://www.parenting.com/gallery/easy-ways-to-pamper-yourself   This website has over thirty easy ways to pamper yourself even if you only have fifteen minutes to spare.

            Most moms do not take time to relax or unwind.  Over time this will wear you down and you will feel over worked and stressed.  There is a website that can help recognize the signs of burnout.  Some signs are depression, lack of energy, lack of desire, and inability to relax.  http://www.davidsonstaffing.com/articles/career-burnout.aspx  Learning to distinguish normal stress from the deeper issues that lead to career burnouts is important in order to effectively deal with the problem.
