Self care is usually thought of as a treat like going to a spa or taking a trip for the weekend.. For moms today that kind of self care can seem really far away or just not something they can do. Real self care is not about doing something special every now and then.

A lot of people think that waking up before the sun comes up is the key to having a day. But for parents who're always busy especially moms who are millennials and do not get to sleep well waking up at 5am is not a good idea. It is just too hard. A good morning routine is not about waking up before everyone.

Many mothers today sit for hours. At their job in the car helping their kids with homework or working on a laptop. When you sit for a time it can make your hips and shoulders and lower back really tight. This can make you feel stiff and tired as the day goes on. Sitting at a desk is not just uncomfortable it can also make you feel really drained.

For lots of mothers who're really busy coffee is what gets them through the day. They drink it in the morning to wake up in the afternoon when they are feeling tired and in the evening to get things done. But the thing is, coffee does not really give you energy it just makes you feel like you have energy for a while.

The supplement industry is really confusing for moms who are trying to take care of their health and their families at the same time. When you go to the store you see a lot of things like powders and capsules that claim to give you a lot of energy right away.

Women are seeing strength training more and more in the fitness world. A lot of them are still not sure about it. There are ideas that make women think lifting weights is not for them and that is stopping them from doing one of the best kinds of exercise.

Your thirties can be a busy time. Your career is taking off you might be starting a family and you have a lot more responsibilities. At the time your hormones are changing in the background.

Anxiety is something that many mothers have to deal with every day. It is like a noise that is always there. Mothers have a lot of things to do. They have to make sure everything gets done.

For mothers the biggest problem with exercise is not that they do not want to do it it is that they are really tired. When you do not get a lot of sleep and your schedule is over the place it is hard to think about working out for a long time.
