Juggling with obligations at work
and home can take a toll on your mind and body. This especially happens for working
mums. Most of them find it difficult to have a healthy balance between work and
play. In fact, most mothers, especially those who have full-time jobs, struggle
to have time to relax, have fun or enjoy their me-time. If you can relate to
this, you probably often feel tired and exhausted. However, like everyone else,
you may believe that seeing your family, especially your kids, happy will
always be enough to relieve your stress and exhaustion. Indeed, this can be
true at times; however, there are moments when you also need to perform
activities that will help you deal with the challenges of becoming a working
parent.
You need to remind yourself that you need to prioritize your health above all else. Remember, you can't expect yourself to give your 100% effort in performing your tasks as a mum and as a career woman if you don't have enough energy for it. Thus, you need to ensure that you find time to practice self-care habits. This means, even if you are too busy with all your responsibilities, you also have an obligation to sustain your personal needs. This includes ensuring that your physical, mental, and emotional health remains strong and excellent.
