The top 5 things you can do to love yourself well while being a working mum

April 20, 2023

Hey there!

Something i've been working on a lot this year is learning to love myself well. As a working mum, it can be easy to get caught up in the daily grind of work and parenting, leaving little time for self-care. However, it's important to remember that taking care of yourself is just as crucial as taking care of your family and career. So, here are the top 5 things you can do to love yourself well while being a working mum:

ONE = Take time for yourself

Make sure to schedule some "me-time" every week, even if it's just for 15 minutes. Whether it's taking a bubble bath, reading a book, or going for a walk, find something that you enjoy and make it a priority.

TWO = Connect with other working mums

Joining a community of other working mums can be a great way to find support, share advice, and feel less alone. You can find groups on social media or even start your own!

THREE = Practice self-compassion

It's easy to be hard on yourself as a working mum, but remember to be kind and forgiving to yourself. Treat yourself as you would a good friend and acknowledge that you're doing the best you can.

FOUR = Set boundaries

Learn to say "no" when you need to and establish clear boundaries between work and home life. This will help you to prioritize your own needs and prevent burnout.

FIVE = Celebrate your wins

Take time to celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. Whether it's completing a project at work or making it through a busy week with the kids, acknowledge your successes and give yourself a pat on the back!

Remember, being a working mum is no easy feat, but with a little self-love and care, you can thrive in all aspects of your life. So go ahead, take care of yourself, and show yourself some love!
