HAPPY MUMS MAKE A HAPPY FAMILY….GO FOR A ME TIME!!!

ME time! What? Who is going to take care of all that is pending at my home? My kids, their homework, folding cloths, cooking, cleaning….I don’t have time to sleep and here we talk about “ME TIME”. I have to go to office as well.

 Yes but a good family and kids can be raised by a happy mother. At times it’s good to slow down a little to run faster later. Everyone needs a break from the monotonous routine. The downtime will give you the stamina to run that extra mile. It just looks like we can’t take a break but slowly this get into the routine and we all will start looking forward for the “ME TIME”. A happy relaxed mother can complete the work faster than a completely drained out mother. So don’t neglect yourself. Find three hobbies:

·         One to earn you money….that’s possibly your job

·         One to keep you in shape

·         One to bring out your creativity

Here are few ideas for your “Me Time” to give your family the happiest mother.

1.       Dance at your favourite music maybe with your kids. This bring out your creativity and keeps you in shape. But just don’t do it lose weight. The target is to relax you and not just checking the needle of the weighing machine moving.

2.       Nail paint will add colour to your life. Sit, relax for 10 minutes to put some nice nail paint. Looking at your beautiful hands will give you such a pleasure.

3.       Paint your thoughts. Just getting up a little early to paint will keep you fresh the full day. Waking up early on a Sunday could be hard but your passion will make you do that all. And remember we are not doing this to make one of the Picasso art piece. Our target is to just relax. Let it be the most childish painting that makes you laugh out loud!

4.       Movie with friends is the all-time favourite one since your college days. Gang out with your friends and enjoy an evening with a movie and popcorn.

5.       Connect with a friend that you have not talked to since long time. Recalling all your fun and frolic days would be a real treat.

6.       Window shopping also turns out to be a really good idea for me time. Catching up with the latest fashion trends is great and relaxing.

7.       Online Shopping is a great idea for those hot summer days when you don’t want to step out of the house.

8.       Power Nap works well for sleep deprived mums. But that means keep all your gadgets away. Don’t take any phone calls and just get deep under the cover and not just adjusting yourself on the couch.

9.       Go for a Walk. Talk to your friends while you go for a long evening walk. Catching up with your friends without any household disturbances is an absolutely fantastic idea for” Me Time”.

10.   Lunch with your MUM will be such an icing on the cake. You get to do endless talking with your mum, relax and give me time to yourself and your mum. Both of you will start looking for such lunch dates.

11.   Do nothing and tell your husband to cook for you and the family. Though if you trust that your husband will not make the kitchen so dirty that your break turns into nightmare.

Try out these ideas for the next few weeks and you will find that “ME TIME” will be a part of your routine and you will have an amazing plan set for yourself for the next week. Trust me you will be more patient with your kids and family. Other people will also begin to understand the worth of your downtime for the family. They will begin to support you for your “ME TIME” because that will in return give them the happiest mom.
