Life as a mum can get so hectic and chaotic. However, that is no reason not to get a little bit of time just for you. All mums need a little “me time” every now and again. It’s seeing an opportunity and grabbing it with both hands. With that in mind, here are some of the best ways to snatch a bit of time for yourself to recharge the batteries.
Head to a spa
It may sound indulgent, but when was the last time you treated yourself to a spa day? Or even a short visit to a spa for a few hours? This is the perfect way to get some time just for you. You could book a spa day online, use faculties in a posh hotel, or try something different at a spa like Banya No.1 – Chiswick that infuses hot and cold experiences. If you can’t get to a spa, you could always try and create one at home.
A nice hot bath
When the children are all tucked up in bed, this is the perfect chance for you to have a little time to yourself. This could mean running a nice hot bath and having a good long soak. You can put some of those products to good use and relax in the aromas. A hot bath can be all it takes to recharge your batteries and feel human again. Being a mum can take every bit of energy from you, so make sure you take care of yourself.
A moment with a hot drink, a magazine or good book
Maybe the kids are at school, or you just have a bit of time if they still nap. Use this time to your advantage. It’s understandable that you may have chores to do or errands to run. But if you just take ten minutes to yourself to enjoy a nice drink and have a read of something that interests you. You won’t believe how refreshed you will feel that you will probably get just as many chores done if not more.
An at home facial
This isn’t as posh as it sounds. It’s taking the chance to pop on a face mask and relax while it does its thing. Or concentrating on your skin by giving it some TLC. It may not be as relaxing as having a facial in a beauty clinic, but you will see the benefits. When we look good, we feel good. So taking care of yourselves is one of the best ways to boost your confidence.
Exercise
It is so important to exercise, but as a parent, we can make this low on the priority list. It isn’t about weight loss, although it helps. Exercise helps to make you feel good and is the perfect way to spend some time to yourself to get the benefits physically and mentally.
Most important of all, taking time for yourself gives you the opportunity to take care of yourself. If you are a happy contented person, then you are a happy contented mum.
