The journey of mothering is too hard and tiring. Motherhood is never easy. Mothers always need to be on top physically, mentally and spiritually. Of course, they can’t be cheerful all the time when they are a busy mother. But mothers can always become energetic by trying to do certain things.
Remembering yourself and taking care of yourself is a must, but it’s not always easy to put into practice. Below are some methods prepared by talking to many mothers.
1. Make a Garden
Our eyes, which constantly see a pile of dirty clothes or a breakfast table that we forgot to clean, have the right to see beautiful things! Receiving or buying flowers and having the pleasure of arranging them is a simple experience. Along with creating a garden in your home, there is also the joy of seeing them bloom every day. The most important thing is to make your home a beautiful and peaceful place.
2. Enjoy Music
Do things you like cultural trips, any games or painting. Along with taking their children to music lessons, mothers learning any musical instrument of their choice can ease the strain of waiting and rekindle a once-shelved passion.
3. Pray with other Mothers
Joining mothers’ organizations and praying with them will help you to become mentally stronger. We can find this prayer as a source of comfort without flinching from our responsibilities as a mother.
4. A Day for Retreat
Dear mothers, it is always good to set aside a day for yourself. Setting aside a whole day, or if that’s not possible, a few hours, to do something you love can be the best way to improve your mental health and happiness.
5. Reading
Although there are many things we can enjoy in our free time, there is no substitute for reading. When you get knowledge along with pleasure, you won’t feel like you wasted your time.
6. Evening Fellowship
Sharing an evening or dinner with friends is the happiest thing. Mutual understanding and support are possible through these get-togethers, which can be organized on weekends or holidays. These breaks are very important in the fast-paced daily life of mothers.
7. Divine Mercy Adoration
When you feel powerless to do everything, take refuge in worship. It is the best place for silence inside and outside. A place where we are not questioned. A place to surrender all our burdens, fatigue and questions. The ultimate result of all this is “peace”.
