My 6 R's Method: Tired Mama? 6 energizers for busy Moms!

Let's go from Overwhelmed to Overjoyed!

1. Rest - nap when needed (around 10-20 min) *create an evening routine and stick to it *focus on getting 7-9 hours of sleep *go to bed 1 hour earlier than normal and go screen free for the last hour before bed - try this for at least one week and see how much better you feel by the end of the week.

2. Refuel - Drink water all day long (1 gallon a day) *Snack wisely - eat healthy snacks *Don't skip meals - especially breakfast *Eat a well balanced diet (not dieting - diet as in food you intake) of healthy carbs, fats and proteins that are nutrient dense. Empty calories won't sustain you - make sure the food you eat is nutrient dense.

3. Recreate (PLAY!) - Quality time with kids - try 15 min of uninterrupted play time with your kiddos (play with them - ditch the dishes and laundry for a bit and just have fun together!) Make time each day/week to be the "fun mom" *Take a Mommy break - Exercise, schedule a girls night out, listen to music, sit down with your feet up, breathe, listen to a podcast or audio book, read a physical book, dance in the kitchen, go for a walk, go for a bike ride, write in your journal, be still, spend time outside in nature, etc.

4. Refresh - Shower, get dressed and ready for the day. Dress up in your cutest clothes - remember you "dress for success". If you want your day to go well, show up and dress up - you'll be amazed how much better you feel when you take time to take care of yourself.

5. Recharge - Open the blinds and windows - let the sunlight in, go outside - sit on the porch or lay on the grass and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air, go for a hike or bike ride, water the garden, swing on a swing, do some outdoor yoga, etc.

6. Refocus - prioritize what matters most to you - What actually needs to get done vs. the forever to do list, choose 3 main priorities and if you get those done - then you call it a win for today. Simplify your to do list - use your time blocks to help you refocus on what matters most within each role of your life.
