Being a mom is a 24×7 job. She needs breaks too! Here are ten stress relief tips for moms. Pick one and take a break today.
People often think a stay at home mom (SAHM) has lots of time for herself daily, that she is a free bird at home and can do whatever she wants at home. But this is one of the toughest jobs to handle. As there is no fixed 9- 5 time and no fixed schedules, it’s a job that demands your time 24×7.
Continuously playing this role all alone at home is sometimes suffocating and takes a toll on health. Moms often get stressed out and frustrated after a tiring day of babysitting, handling the newborn, bearing the tantrums of naughty kids and doing the daily household chores. To calm down and to de-stress ourselves, we must take mini breaks from our daily routine and come out to experience life on the outside.
Leave the baby with daddy for some time and enjoy your ‘ME’ time for a while. Here are a few ways you can de-stress.
Take an evening walk
Enjoy the evening breeze, walk with a friend, talk about positive things in life, introspect yourself.
Visit a beauty parlour
Once in a while, pamper yourself, go for a facial, body massage, get a makeover. Enjoy the special treatment at the spa.
Indulge in your favorite food
Have fun cooking your favorite signature dish, try out new dishes, or baking, and don’t forget to enjoy eating.
Sleep like a baby
Sometimes all we need is some relaxation, peace and rest. So go, sleep like a baby.
Meditate
To remain focused in life, practise meditation daily for some time.
Read a book
Get your favorite author’s latest book and have a good time reading it.
Visit a friend
If you have lost touch with your friends, renew your friendship by staying in touch with them. Visit them. Enjoy the friendly gossip and chitchat.
Watch a Movie
If you are a movie buff, go out for a movie and have some fun time out.
Hobbies
If you love doing art and crafts, spend some time making something interesting.
Blogging
If you love writing, try blogging about your thoughts, your experiences, your life.
I bet you will be fresh, happy and more relaxed after these short breaks. Being a busy mother, you deserve all the breaks to live a fulfilled life. If you haven’t taken one, go on, take one today.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
