Self-Care For The Busy Mom

07/10/18 • 46 min

Phenomenal Moms with Aisha Taylor

Are you craving time that you can get alone to pour back into yourself?

Are you a mom who is stressed out?

Do you believe that finding time for yourself is a myth?

Does it seem like self-care can't fit into your schedule?

If you are a mom who is feeling stress then you are not alone. According to a study by TODAY, "Apparently 70 percent of U.S. moms say mothering is “incredibly stressful.” And 96 percent also feel that we are far more stressed than our own mothers were." Motherhood means late nights, early mornings, and busy days. In today's podcast, Tara Pringle Jefferson, founder of The Self-Care Suite and the Bloom Beautifully Box joins me to discuss the importance of self-care and why it is essential that all moms practice it. In this podcast we discuss:

What self-care is and is not
Why you may be overthinking self-care
What all busy moms need to do to start to prioritize themselves
Why self-care is non-negotiable to your health and your children's well-being
Why self-care takes less time than you think
Much more

How Having A "Now" Mindset Can Impact Your Money

Do you feel like a great SALE pops up every time you make a commitment to save, invest, or manage your money better?

You feel like you work hard so you deserve to treat yourself?

Does the thought of working hard but not being able to splurge on yourself and your children seem restrictive?

You work hard. Actually, you work very hard.

The thought of rewarding yourself for your hard work or doing something extra for your children is so tempting. I know how it feels to get a little extra and want to use that to buy something for my twins, to use the money to do something fun with my children, or even do something for myself. I also know that it is hard to say "no" to something that will provide a level of satisfaction or fulfillment at that moment. However, one of the things that I learned is that if I want to be financially secure and to build a financial legacy for my children, I must adopt a long-term view of money management.

In order to develop a longer-term view of money management, I had to recognize the factors that were causing me to manage my money with a short-term, "now" perspective. Once I understood those things I was able to make a shift. This podcast episode will share what I learned and what I did to shift from a "now" money management mindset to a longer-term focus. This will help you to adopt a longer-term mindset and be able to have the confidence to overcome temptation and make more progress on your financial goals.

In this podcast episode you will learn:

The top 2 reasons why managing your money with a long-term mindset is so hard
3 tips that will help you to say "no" to the sale and impulse purchases
Why saying "no" to the little things will allow you to say "yes" to something bigger
