7 Healthy Habits of a Full-time Working Mom
Finding balance in 146 words (Short form)
Thrive, not just survive, as a full time working mom with these tips:
- Wake before the household: enjoy morning silence.
- Coffee: drinking coffee helps make point one more achievable.
- Batch up cooking: rice three times a week really can work — butter chicken, fried rice, chicken curry. Yum!
- Laugh: at yourself and with your kids.
- Let things go: say “no” to say “yes” to yourself. The chaos is real. You cannot do 562 things in a 24-hour period. Have self grace and compassion — be realistic with commitments.
- Chat: with your kids. Dive into real conversions — I promise they will surprise you!
- Wine: exclude the whine. A b*tchfest isn’t always cathartic, so be conscience not to sink into this habit too much. Make time to chat with your friends, sans kiddos, on a regular schedule.
