If Mama Ain’t Healthy, Ain’t Nobody Happy

We’ve all seen her. The mom who would do anything for her family. The mom who would give her everything to help her family be the happiest and healthiest they can be. The mom who is giving her everything for that goal.

Literally, she is giving it all.

And leaving nothing for herself.A Happy and Healthy MamaShe’s the mom who is packing lunches, making homemade baby food, spending time meal planning and making healthy snacks for her kids, but skipping her own breakfast.

She’s the mom who is running her kids from activity to activity, but missing her own workouts because there just isn’t time.

She’s the mom who is scrambling to keep the house clean, get the laundry done, and keep the house in order, but never asks for help so she can have a little time for herself.Healthy Living PlayBook She’s the mom who helps her kids with their homework, arranges tutoring when they need extra support, makes sure they are studying for their tests, yet can’t remember the last time she read something to improve her mind.

She’s the mom who makes sure her kids have clean clothes, are well-dressed, have combed and styled hair, yet is sporting a pony tail and sweat pants for the fourth day in a row.

She’s the mom who wants the best for her family, and does so much for them, that she forgets about herself.

Her family is her joy, yet you can see it in her eyes.

She’s tired. She’s on the edge. Her skin, hair, body, and voice all tell the story.

Her health and well-being are suffering.

She knows something needs to change, but she doesn’t know how to get off the hamster wheel. How can she sacrifice all she does…for herself?

Is this you?

I’m here to tell you that your health is important. Yes, YOUR HEALTH.

I get it. You want your family to be healthy and happy and your home to run well. You feel like it’s selfish to do anything for yourself, and you don’t have time to focus on things like your physical and mental health.

But remember this. When you focus on your own health, you ARE helping your family. A vibrant, healthy, happy mom is the best gift you can give your family. That’s pretty much the opposite of selfish.

You can get there. Start small, but start. Start today. Focus on YOU.

A good place to start? Check out these 21 Self-Care Ideas for Moms.

I’ve found that when I set my intentions and keep track of them each week, it’s a big help.

I created something to help you. It’s called The Total Health Journal and it’s just what you need to start focusing on your health. The Total Health Journal do the work for you. It won’t take the time you need to focus on yourself. You have to do that part.

But it will be a gentle reminder to shift the focus when you’re getting unbalanced. It will be a source of motivation and inspiration. Keeping track. Keep track can direct you, help you see where you are, and give you a push in the direction you need to go.

Maybe you already know what you should do to get healthy. Maybe you don’t have a clue where to start. Either way, Total Health Journal can help.

Maybe you’ll focus on something new, or maybe you’ll just get the nudge you need to do the things you’ve been meaning to do for months or even years now. Want the Total Health Journal? It’s free.

Click on this image to request the Total Health Journal and you can download it today!

I hope you find this helpful as you navigate motherhood and try to find a place where you can prioritize YOUR health along with the health and happiness of your family. Yes, you CAN do both! I am here to help you along the way!

    From sleek, modern cuts like the buzz cut or undercut to more playful styles such as vibrant hair colors or textured waves, today’s hair trends offer something for everyone. Whether you’re drawn to the bold and edgy or prefer a more classic and refined look, trendy hairstyles allow for a creative way to showcase individuality. Popular styles often blend elements from past decades with contemporary twists, making it easy to find a trend that resonates with your personal style and keeps you looking fresh and fashionable.

    I absolutely loved reading your blog post on the importance of mama’s health for overall family happiness! You’ve highlighted such crucial points, and it’s a reminder that taking care of ourselves is not just a luxury but a necessity.

    I couldn’t agree more with your insights on stress management. It’s so true that when mamas are stressed and overwhelmed, it can have a ripple effect on the entire household. Your emphasis on self-care and seeking help when needed is spot on.

    In fact, I recently came across a fantastic resource for mental health support – https://calmerry.com/video-chat-therapy it’s an online platform that offers video chat therapy sessions with licensed professionals. It can be a game-changer for busy moms who may find it challenging to attend in-person therapy sessions.

    Thank you for sharing your wisdom and encouraging all mamas out there to prioritize their well-being. After all, a healthy mama truly does lead to a happier family! 💕

    Rightly said! I truly feel that a mom should be healthy and happy. Without that it’s very difficult for her to give her 100% to the family! Her family and especially the husband should also understand this and make sure that her happiness is his priority.
