Being a working mum is a challenge. There are kids to shuttle around, home matters to attend to, and a job that needs to be done at the workplace. If you are in need of some rest and relaxation, or new organisation tools to free up some time and relieve stress, there are several activities you can do to achieve the balance you so desperately desire.

On the Go Colouring

Colouring offers a wonderful way to check out of reality for a few minutes and enjoy some peace and quiet. With the Coloring Book for Me & Mandala colouring book app, you can colour beautiful pictures and Mandalas on the go without carrying colouring books and supplies with you. While you have some idle time, are attending soccer practice, or are on a break at work, open up the app and enjoy soothing stress relief. You can use this fun app to colour digital pictures when you have free time and save your work to finish up later.

Interactive Charts

The rulebook of good parenting never said that mums have to take on all of the household duties on their own. If you are feeling the strain of trying to create a work-life balance for yourself, make it your mission to get the family involved. You can create a fun interactive chart of household duties that all family members can participate in. Make a game of it and add daily, weekly, and monthly goals to achieve. Once your family has accomplished the missions laid out in the chart, spend an evening celebrating the accomplishment with ice cream, treats, a delicious meal out, or even a special movie night. Your home will run like a well-oiled machine and you will feel some relief as a result.

Nutrition and Exercise

Just like athletes need the right balance of nutrients and exercise to compete in sports, busy mums need to make sure they are taking care of themselves too. Staying healthy will ensure that you are able to conquer the mountains of work life and home life without missing a beat. Avoid motherhood burnout by taking some time to eat healthy, nutritious meals and get the exercise your body craves. Look online for tips and special health plans for working mums. A simple workout, along with a proper diet filled with vitamins and minerals, will make you feel on top of your game and energised.

A mother can have it all without draining her energy in the process. In an effort to achieve a work-life balance, make sure to take time for yourself so that you can relieve stress and refresh yourself. Do activities that promote rest and relaxation, get the proper nutrition and exercise, and call upon family members to help you stay organised. The key to a successful life is making sure that all of the family needs are met, while still being able to take care of yourself.
