Time to Energise Ourselves

Being Mum

In this week's episode, we're diving into the topic of energizing ourselves to boost our overall well-being. As mums, we often neglect our own energy and with the focus on our children it can leave us feeling drained and overwhelmed. But it's time to prioritise ourselves and recharge in ways that resonate with us.

This episode delves into five different ways to help mums energise themselves. First, we look at the power of physical activity to wake up our energy, boost our mood, and lift our spirits. Whether it's dancing around in the kitchen with the kids or engaging in a spin class, I will be encouraging you to find movement that brings you joy.

Next, I explore how intellectual activities can be fulfilling and energising. Engaging in reading, solving puzzles, learning new skills, or joining a book club not only stimulates our minds but also adds a social aspect that fosters joy and connection.

The third technique is mindfulness and meditation. By being present in the moment, we can calm our nervous system, lower stress hormones, and improve emotional regulation. Talking about simple tips to incorporate mindfulness into our daily lives, and she explains how meditation can be a powerful tool for relaxation and improved mental clarity.

Breathing techniques take centre stage in the fourth segment of the episode. We will talk about the importance of deep intentional breaths to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which counteracts stress and helps us relax. By breathing consciously, we increase oxygen flow in our bodies, leading to improved energy levels and mental alertness.

Lastly, I will let you know about the benefits of journaling as a tool to release stress and worries. Writing down our thoughts and feelings can help us identify and process emotions, leading to greater clarity and mental freedom. I encourage you to practice gratitude and set short and long-term goals through journaling, fostering a positive outlook and motivation.

Join me on this journey to energise yourself, your way, and discover how these simple yet powerful techniques can elevate your energy levels, improve your mood, and enhance your overall well-being.
