7 Reasons to Make Time For Yourself as a Busy Mom

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by Maxanne

Your task list is never ending as a busy mom in your household, from folding the laundry to cooking nutritious dinners for your family. It doesn’t matter how organized you try and get, it always seems to feel stressful and busy every single day, so how can you give yourself a little bit of much-needed downtime?

Finding pockets of time to contribute to your own personal self-care routine is like gold dust and it will help you to feel energized and rejuvenated each time you do it. Whether you’re looking for ways to be happier on a day to day basis, or you simply want to feel better about yourself overall, here are seven reasons to start making more time for yourself as a super busy mom.

1. To Boost Your Confidence

If you’re feeling particularly low in self esteem you may want to think about carving out some time for yourself. When you become a mom, your identity completely changes and you can start to lose a sense of your former self. Enjoying some much needed alone time can give you a huge confidence boost and allow you to establish who you really are again.

2. To Feel More Beautiful

As a mom there is rarely any extra time to spend on your beauty regimen which can make you feel slightly less than your best. Enjoying some time to yourself could involve indulging in a face mask or giving your hair some extra love and attention. If you’re a brunette you may want to look into the best blue shampoos to keep your color looking fresh and toned. Enjoying these additional beauty treatments will help you to feel like your best self.

3. To Enjoy Peace and Quiet

Is there anything better than sitting in a quiet room without any distractions or noise? Spending time by yourself could involve simply enjoying the peace and quiet in a space that makes you feel safe and comfortable. When the children are in bed you can light a candle and sit in a calm atmosphere, which probably doesn’t happen very often!

4. To Do Something You Love

Taking some time out might involve reigniting a passion or hobby that you once enjoyed before you even had children. You might want to spend time doing a team sport, going to an art class or joining a local social club; this will give you some much-needed time to do something you truly enjoy.

5. To Have Space

Sometimes all you need as a mom is a little bit of space to yourself. There always seems to be a small person close to you, so your sense of personal space can easily get lost when you become a parent. There are so many different ways to enjoy your own space, but going for a walk without holding a little hand or pushing a stroller can feel like a very freeing experience!

6. To Improve Your Health

It’s more important than ever to take good care of your health when you’re a busy mom. Your needs can often get pushed to the wayside because your mind is preoccupied with other things such as taking care of your children and your household. You may find that you want to spend a little extra time working on your health, making extra delicious meals for yourself or doing a type of exercise you love.

7. To Enhance Your Happiness

Making time for yourself when you’re a busy parent is the best way to create a true sense of happiness in your life. When it comes to living a happier life, the key is to allow yourself to enjoy the little luxuries without feeling an ounce of guilt. If you want to enjoy a long hot bubble bath or read your favorite book in the evening, you need to allow yourself to do it without feeling bad. There are so many ways to enhance your happiness, so it’s up to you to find the little things that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside!

As you can see, there are so many different reasons to put yourself first and start taking care of your needs. Whether you’re hoping to gain a confidence boost or improve your overall health, you can make hugely positive strides towards feeling your best self with just a few small tweaks to your daily routine. Busy moms don’t often get enough credit for what they achieve on a daily basis, so here is your free pass to take care of yourself once in a while!
