As a busy homemaker, homesteading mom and wife, it can be hard to find time to "just be". Our days are filled with grocery shopping, housework, keeping things organized around the home, keeping the schedule straight for the family, making meals from scratch...the list seems endless. So what can we, as moms, do when our days seem so overwhelming and we just have a hard time functioning and keeping up?
First and foremost, start your day with God. This can be a prayer or meditation as you start your day. It may be a quite study time as you have your first cup of coffee. Whatever it is, always start your day with God.
Make a list of things that you need to get done. Prioritize your list and choose your top 3 that HAVE to be done. This helps clear your mind and free some space to help you manage your day.
But what if you have done these things and you still feel overwhelmed? That's when I like to do a quick little mind reset using the Aroma Reset. It's a branch of the Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT) that is super quick and very beneficial. I keep a roller bottle with the Memory Release Blend of oils in it, ready to use at a moments notice. When I feel overwhelmed or super stressed out, I grab the bottle and roll it on my wrists and the back of my neck. I take a moment to breath it in and relax. Seriously, it only takes about 60 seconds and my brain resets and I am able to better accomplish the task at hand.
Need to know more about this quick reset? I offer a 30-minute one-on-one coaching call where I not only walk you through this reset, I also walk you through an extended version (also super quick to use!) so that you have the tools you need to do these techniques throughout your day as needed. This session also includes a sample of the memory release blend that you can carry along with you and use as needed.
Trust me, your whole family will benefit from you taking a minute here and there throughout your day to reset your mind and let go of the stress and overwhelm.
