Simple Ideas to Fill Your Cup as a Mom

As moms we need to remember to take care of ourselves to be able to take care of those around us. We can’t pour from an empty cup. What we need to do is start putting self-care into the rhythms of our lives so when life gets stressful or chaotic we won’t be running on fumes. We can be the best version of ourselves. I want to share some simple ideas to fill your cup as a mom

It’s not just about bubble baths and spa day. My ideas of self-care is anything that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. I wrote an entire post about how I view self-care differently. It’s about finding your “self-care tools that help take care of you.”

I want to share with you simple ideas to keep you feeling good and fill up as a mom. It’s about doing things that make you feel good, energized, and refreshed.

Move your Body

I exercise for my mind.

I wrote this on an Instagram post and the feedback was amazing! So many people agreed that exercise helps clear your mind. Yes, it has health benefits but what it does for your mind in incredible! Exercise releases endorphins, those feel-good chemicals that boost your mood and energy levels.

I started telling myself I need to work out to manage my stress and my mind. The moment I stopped thinking about losing weight my mindset completely changed about working out. It’s now something I have grown to enjoy doing. After a workout, I feel my best mentally and physically.

Do something you enjoy

Is there something you love to do or use to love to do? You should go do those things! Why not bring things back into your life you use to love. It could be listening to podcasts, reading, yoga, gardening, crafting, a coffee date with friends. Whatever makes you feel good inside set aside time for that again. It does not have to be done every single day but start with once a week. It is a great way to take care of yourself.

30 minutes of alone time for you!

For me, this is in the morning. I love getting up before the house wakes up. You could be more of a night owl, and that is fine too. Just make sure no matter what you are getting an adequate amount of sleep at night. Take this 30 minutes and do something you enjoy. Read, exercise, work on that dream, whatever it is just take that 30 minutes to be alone.

Learn something new

Part of the reason my daughter and I started an Adventures list was to help her explore different activities and learn new things.  I believe that we should never stop learning no matter what age we are. Having a purpose in life gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning and fuels your soul.

Pick a new skill to learn, get crafty, bake something new, just try things that are a little outside your comfort zone. There are so many things you could try online or in person locally. I have a fun blog post about some great ones we have enjoyed! I am sure your community has a lot to offer also.

You may find out you love the activity you try and it becomes part of your daily life.  The point is to step outside your comfort zone and maybe you will discover a passion you have hidden deep down inside. It can give you the purpose you need in your life.

You Self-Care tools

Making sure that self-care is incorporated in your life is something you have to work into your life. We need to make a conscious effort to make these things happen. When we show our children, especially our daughter’s that taking care of mom matters she will see this and hopefully grow up with the same values.

As moms, we are their first role models. Let’s show our girls that filling ourselves up first helps us pour our hearts into our families.

Let her see how self care is part of who you are as a mother. Let her see you creating this rhythm in your life.

So what do you say mama, are you with me?
