We don’t want to add more work to our load, as we all know more responsibility/tasks, leads to more stress.
The clever secret here, is in what type of exercise you put your mind to.
When we make time to use our minds in a meaningful and useful way, we’ll notice a huge difference in our stress levels. This will balance out your feelings towards the routine, physical and mundane tasks of being a mum.
For example, when I choose to read a parenting book, my mind is working on something useful and beneficial – I’m taking notes, thinking and learning. From this mental exercise, I’m also improving my relationship with my children – it’s meaningful, useful and so fulfilling.
You can easily and effortlessly do so many things to exercise your mind in a useful way. Commit to self-growth and try visiting your library’s self-help section. Notice the difference you feel when you start working on yourself and feeding your mind in a healthy way.
Say no to aimless browsing or hours spent binge-watching, in the name of me-time. Don’t be fooled Mamas <3 Find your best self.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a message. I totally agree with you. We have it very very hard. No one to turn to, no one to support us. I’m in the same boat. This is why I wrote the article because over the years, having gone through depression and acute anxiety because of being so alone and carrying so so much for everyone, I learnt that the only one I have control over is myself. And the same is for you and all other lonely, unsupported, overburdened mamas. I agree husbands need to change. Our parents, families, communities need to change. We need help, but we cant make them, or at least I cant and if you could, then you wouldnt be commenting here with so much emotion. Change starts with us. And if we have no one, we can only turn to us and of course Allah. Thats why I wrote this article, because it shows mamas how to take control for themselves. There is only so much I can write in one blog article. This is just one snippet from a whole framework of changes that we need to learn how to make. If you know how to change your husband or family or community, please write it out here x
Absolutely needed this today. Written beautifully thank you so much
