Self-love Really Matters Amidst this Pandemic

     Most of our moms at home are having hard time on how to manage in taking care of  kids, doing house chores, and struggling financial matters as well.  Being mom is not as simple as others are expecting. It takes time, energy and perseverance to raise kids, to the point that we are almost forget ourselves. Lucky if you have a responsible and loving husband to comfort you every end of the day. But not all wives are lucky! 

     We cannot give what we do not have. They are dependently seeking love and care from us as a mother. And if we are weak and unable to fix even our own struggles, we cannot express our love and provide their basic needs. That's why I really advocate sel-love as a major thing we should pay attention, particularly when it comes to mental health. 

Below are just a few things we should know:

1. Meditate

        Find a peaceful place for you to release

    all the negative thoughts of your mind.

    You can watch some videos on youtube to

    get the proper benefit of meditation to

    your physical and mental health. It really

    helps to heal our inner peace.

2. Rest

        Pause and give yourself some rest from

    stressfull house chores. Don't be guilty if

    sometimes you go to salon, have a

    manicure and pedicure, or get the perfect

    haircut for you. Watch your favorite

    movie with you friends. Consider this a 

    treat for yourself.

3. Make Friends

        No man is an island. Having right

    friends can help us to cope with the

    struggles in our lives. A shoulder to cry

    on and sometimes an adviser to tell us

    for what is the right thing for us to do              when we are in trouble. Someone to lift          us not to drag us down.

4. Learn Something New

        Step out from your comfort zone, don't

    be afraid to explore and learn something

    substancial to improve your self. Don't 

    hesitate to educate yourself in order to

    succeed, attend a class if needed.

5. Read Books

         One way to alleviate stress is reading

    books. Choose the right books for you, not 

     a gossip book, instead books for personal 

     development.
