Mental Health Support for Moms

November 01, 2024 by Kayla Helenske in Emotional Wellbeing, mental health for moms, Parenting Tips, Parenthood, work life balance

What if you could take time for yourself, and you never have to deal with mom guilt?

You wake up everyday and can breathe easily, love yourself, and go after your dreams.

But there’s a slight problem keeping you from getting that.

You are stuck spinning your wheels & pleasing everyone but yourself.

I see you. I know you are trying, however, it’s not quite working as planned.

I’ve been there too. I needed a moment to breathe & gather my thoughts. I realized the NEED to find a way to reduce stress and tend to myself.

The struggle is real for moms who have a hard time reducing stress and discovering who they are in motherhood.

Because of programs that skip steps without understanding what else impacts emotional overwhelm, plans that are too time consuming, and plans that don’t view mental health as a whole body approach.

And when you’re constantly bombarded with these challenges in your life, it’s hard to get your head out of the weeds and realize you’re making the same mistake that’s not helping you.

I get it because I’ve been there too and have helped many others like you. But first you gotta accept that what you’re doing is not working.

So instead of continuing with pushing through and having to live with constant overwhelm, here’s what you can do to finally reduce stress and anxiety.

#1 — focus on inhaling and exhaling slowly. This will bring your focus to your breath & calm your mind. I like to add calming essential oils to this step.

#2 — focus on brain dumping all the thoughts & feelings swirling around in your head onto a piece of paper. This can be through words, shapes, colors or lines. This will allow you to hone in on what you can control & what you cannot.

#3 — focus on moving your body. A simple stretch or gentle walk is a great place to start. This will help your body to release stress & increase all your feel good hormones.

Even if you can consistently do one of these, you’ll finally start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And you’ll experience stress relief without feeling guilt and shame for talking time for yourself.

Ready to make your mental health a priority?
