Understanding Mom Burnout and How to Overcome It

July 25, 2023 by Amelia Zamora Leave a Comment

Being a mom is a rewarding and fulfilling role, but it can also be incredibly demanding and overwhelming. Juggling various responsibilities such as taking care of the children, managing household chores, and often balancing a career can leave moms feeling exhausted and burnt out. Mom burnout is a real and valid experience that many mothers go through.

What Does Mom Burnout Feel Like?

Mom burnout can manifest in various ways, both physically and emotionally. Some common feelings associated with mom burnout include:

  1. Constant Exhaustion: Moms experiencing burnout often feel chronically tired, even after a full night’s sleep. The exhaustion can make it challenging to find the energy to fulfill daily responsibilities.
  2. Emotional Drains: Moms might experience frequent mood swings, irritability, or heightened sensitivity to stressors. Emotional exhaustion can lead to feelings of guilt and frustration, adding to the burnout cycle.
  3. Overwhelm and Disconnection: The never-ending to-do lists can leave moms feeling overwhelmed, and as a result, they may start to detach from their own needs and emotions.
  4. Lack of Motivation: Burnout can lead to a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Hobbies and self-care routines might take a backseat as moms struggle to find motivation.
  5. Physical Symptoms: Headaches, body aches, and a weakened immune system can also be physical manifestations of mom burnout.

How to Fix Stay-at-Home Mom Burnout?

Stay-at-home moms face unique challenges, as they may lack the opportunity to escape the demands of home life. Here are some effective strategies to combat stay-at-home mom burnout:

  1. Create a Support System: Reach out to friends, family, or local parenting groups to build a support network. Connecting with others who understand your challenges can provide emotional relief and practical assistance.
  2. Delegate Tasks: Involve your partner, children, or even hire help to share the workload. Delegating tasks can free up time and energy, reducing feelings of overwhelm.
  3. Prioritize Self-Care: Carve out time for self-care activities, even if they are brief. Engage in activities that bring you joy, whether it’s reading, taking a walk, or practicing mindfulness.
  4. Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that being a perfect mom is impossible, and it’s okay to have off days. Set realistic expectations for yourself and celebrate small victories.
  5. Create a Daily Routine: Establishing a daily routine can add structure and predictability to your day, making it easier to manage tasks and find time for yourself.

I hope these tips help you make yourself a priority and not just fill your time taking care of others. While that is important, you cannot fill from an empty cup. Do something that fills your cup so you can pour into others.

back in my @thedailygrindplanner planner era and w back in my @thedailygrindplanner planner era and while I needed to take a few months off daily planning and checking boxes, I also started to realize I was just going through the motions of my “big dream goals” and not actually ACCOMPLISHING anything. So here we are back in our planner era and knowing it will bring simplicity and accountability back to my life makes me excited about the future possibilities 🌸🧡
