I
am a stay-at-home mom for 11 years. I do the household chores, take care of the
kids and my family's needs, and maintain a home-based business and blog site.
We don't have a helper. We chose not to hire one because we are comfortable
with our set up. To make the long story short, I am a certified
mom/wife/caregiver/maid/teacher/crafter/businesswoman/blogger. My husband and I
are very independent and we want our kids to do the same.
It was very natural and usual on my part that sometimes I would feel stressed especially
when my job as a mom and mompreneur would become so demanding. I didn't even notice
that sometimes I became so engrossed with my duties that I forgot to give
myself time. I had moments when I became so irritable. To be very honest, there were
also moments when I felt so ugly, haggard, sad and worst having displacement of
anger with no apparent reason.
The
last time I felt so stressed and too hard on myself was three years ago, I made it a point to
list down the things that I should do to give "LOVE" to myself
and of course, to make my work life easier and hassle-free as I walked on the journey that I chose.
1. I pray.
The Lord doesn't give me responsibilities
and trials that I can't handle. When I pray and offer all my pains,
joys, activities, sacrifices as I start the day, all things go on smoothly.
2. I think positively.
As the law of attraction states, “In
every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.” I always put in mind that each day
is going to be happy and it surely is. It’s my optimism that affects
everything that I do positively. I love all the things that I do despite being challenged. Seeing goodness in every bad situation makes my life beautiful and worth living.
3. I plan.
If
I fail to plan, I’ll surely fail. I am religious in planning all my tasks for
the week and I make sure that they are S-M-A-R-T (specific, measurable,
attainable, reasonable, and time bound).
Following
a "To Do List" by the book drove me crazy in the past. It controlled
me. Now it’s a lot different. I know how to set my priorities.
4. I am kind to myself.
There
is nothing wrong if I pause for a while and give myself time to rest and
unwind. I have convinced myself that it's okay to slow down. I love multitasking. It can make me finish
all my daily tasks. But I ask myself, “Is it necessary all the time?”
I make sure to have a daily me-time or
appointment with myself that can happen anytime between 30 minutes to two hours.
It's a time to maybe take a nap, do some crafting, read a chapter or two of our
favorite novel, exercise, take a leisurely bath, meditate, or do something that
I really like.
I also lessen my self expectations and
do what is best for the moment. My kids are still very young and most of my
time goes to them instead on myself. I make the best out of the situation. I
make memories with them because someday they are going to have their
independence and that is the time that I can do more things for myself and with my husband too.
5. I take care of myself.
Above
all, I always see to it that I nourish myself with proper food, exercise, and
rest. I admit that I eat junk sometimes to satisfy my cravings. Honestly, I don’t
feel guilty about it because I believe that a little of everything is not bad. It’s just
a matter of knowing how to balance everything.
For four years, as prescribed by my dentist, I take Fern-C, the number one Sodium Ascorbate Vitamin C brand in the
Philippines. Sodium Ascorbate is a better form of Vitamin C. It is quickly
absorbed by the body and in my case, I don’t experience hyperacitdity while
taking it because it's non-acidic. FERN-C is the First Non-Acidic Vitamin C in the Philippines and the only Quali-C Vitamin C made from Europe, ensuring quality to millions of Filipinos. It keeps my immune system boosted and my gums healthier too.
Just
recently, I've started drinking FernCoffee. It doesn’t just satisfy my love for caffeine
boost but it contains eight (8) vitamins and minerals (Quali-Blends) from DSM
Switzerland, a perfect combination to perk up my day! This coffee tastes
really, really good too that’s why I am motivated to drink this every morning!
It is a fact that my worklife ay easy with FERN-C! Subok na!
Because of doing these five tips, I am more relaxed, contented, and happy with my spontaneous life as a woman wearing different hats.
