5 Self Care Tips For Stay at Home Moms

 

GET OUTSIDE

It is important to get some fresh air. Try to make it a habit to get outside every day either alone or with your kids. Fresh air does a body good!!!!

EXERCISE
 

Pick your favorite! You can do yoga, stretching, or even walking. The point is to get your body moving.

TAKE A BATH

Just soaking in the tub is relaxing, especially with bubbles!! Soaking in the tub releases tension in the back, neck, and shoulders. 

TAKE A NAP

This is a great idea that I just recently implemented, Even resting your body for 15 minutes can make a difference in my perception of the day and how much energy I have until bedtime.

READ FOR PLEASURE

A good story is so refreshing. I love reading, especially suspense and mystery novels. I love when I can pick up a book and just lose myself in the story. 

So, that's my list. I try to implement these 5 self care tips throughout my day.
