Me Time Style
Me Time for Mothers
A Special Session for Each Mother at Home, called Me Time
INTERNATIONAL | ME TIME STYLE - Being a mother is not easy. Physical and emotional exhaustion is common. Dealing with children all day, then being required to be a gentle figure and a good role model, for many mothers is very difficult to do.
All time and thought is devoted to children, husband and family. Self-interest tends to always be put aside. No wonder many mothers who experience stress to depression without realizing it.
Physical conditions can be problematic over time, due to unhealthy mental conditions. Relationships with husbands and children can also be problematic. In such conditions, mothers actually need time alone to rest.
What are the signs when a mother needs 'me time'? Come on, find out
Always Angry Uncontrollable
A sign of a mother who needs to rest is if she is always angry. Expressing anger can actually be a healthy way to communicate negative feelings (it's better to let them out than keep them) or it can motivate someone to work things out. However, how anger is shown, especially if it is a chronic problem, can be a clear sign of another underlying problem.
It's understandable, because motherhood is a never-ending series of responsibilities. Mom can be very tired. When emotional exhaustion peaks, the whole family will feel it. It is important to recognize this, talk to your partner if you need time alone and rest.
Always Feel Disturbed
Feeling annoyed, irritable over small things is another symptom when someone is stressed. Acute stress is generally short term, with an increase in blood pressure and heart rate but not enough to create profound negative consequences on the brain and body.
Episodic and chronic stress on the body, i.e. whenever stress occurs daily and over long periods of time, can create physiological symptoms. So if the mother feels very irritable, easily cries and is disappointed, it could be that she needs time to herself.
Feeling So Lonely
Many mothers experience feelings of loneliness. There might be the constant sound of children's voices, but no one else to brainstorm with. While the husband just came home late at night, then he went to sleep.
This makes the mother as isolated from the outside world. Every now and then, it's important for moms to spend some time alone. Can gather with old friends, chat with other people or close relatives without bringing children.
Busy Work? Keep the 'bonding' with the baby
Work will never end seizes our attention. Moreover, now access to work can be done anywhere. The attention of fathers and mothers is often too focused on work and often forgets to spend quality time with children.
Even if there is only a little time, try to make it a quality time. Children will also miss their parents between school schedules and daily activities.
To maintain a bond with your baby, try doing these 4 steps, as quoted from Fimela.com.
1.Make a routine
Create a schedule of special activities with children, whether it's daily or on weekends. It would be better if you could spend the weekend specifically for children without the distraction of other interests. If you don't come home late at night, you can talk casually with your child or read a story before he goes to bed.
2. Combining activities
Activities that can roughly be combined into one, such as driving to school, turn out to be one-way by going to the office. There is a meeting at the restaurant, as well as take the children to eat. If there are activities that can be combined with bringing your little one, it's better to do it.
Set Work Pattern
3. Manage the workload The work
here is not only from the office, but also from homework. Always set aside 1-2 hours with your child after work or accompany him to study. It would be better to turn down a weekend job and have the opportunity to be with the kids than a huge paycheck and never see the kids.
4. Reduce unnecessary activities.
Create a priority scale, and put children at the top. As much as possible use time efficiently by putting aside unnecessary activities. Children still need attention, even though you know your child understands the busyness of work.
