Best Habits for a Hapsy Mom Life

Summer is here, Momma, and it seems as though the slow “return to normalcy” has things filling your calendar again. Although interacting with the outside world was halted for the last year and a half, life certainly didn’t stop for you and your family during the pandemic. You may have started working remotely, your children have faced the virtual learning curve, you and your partner have been forced to re-adjust to new family routines — all the while laundry, dishes, and household chores seemed to multiply with everyone home all day. Aside from total lifestyle changes, you may have even experienced other big or little “t” T/traumas. The loss of a loved one, loss of work, illness, fear/anxiety, stress, financial hardship, and more. It’s OK if you still feel dizzy and need a break. You’ve kept you and your family anchored while the world as we know it was spinning out of control. Take a deep breath, and gift yourself the self-care that is oh-so-deserved including CBD for moms. Here are five self-care ideas for moms for a happy mom life. And remember, CBD and motherhood are meant to go hand-in-hand.

1. Schedule Self-Care

While juggling kids, the household, work, and life in general, it can feel nearly impossible to get some “me time.” One way you can start prioritizing time for self-care is to square up tomorrow’s schedule as you prepare for bed. Where can you squeeze in an extra five minutes to sit in the car and be still? Or take 30 minutes for a walk, a book, a nap (maybe this one should be on the list twice), meditation, a dose of CBD, or a workout? Schedule time into your day and show up for YOU tomorrow. When practiced daily, a sense of balance and calm may return. Let’s all get on the same page; self-care, for moms and for anyone, is non-negotiable. 

2. Embrace JOMO

The Joy Of Missing Out, FOMO’s frenemy, is a Mom’s best friend. Remember when you were freed of all social obligations in March 2020? Guard your calendar as activities and commitments start flooding in with the re-opening of public spaces and events. You do not have to race back to doing all the things all the time. If we’ve learned anything the last several months, it’s that slowing down can be a huge blessing. Another way to think of JOMO is that it’s the act of learning how to set healthy boundaries for you and your family. Saying no doesn’t have to come packed with mom-guilt. Do what’s best for you and your family.

3. Do Something You Love

Aside from self-care, which is really just the basic minimum care to stay sane, studies have shown that participating in a hobby you love can actually have positive impacts on both your physical and mental well-being. In fact, even just taking a walk or reconnecting with the earth by touching the grass, water, or petting an animal can lower your stress, pain, and anxiety.

4. Add Hapsy CBD for Moms to your Daily Routine

Utilizing plans and self-care ideas for Moms is a wonderful way to give back to yourself. CBD and motherhood go hand-in-hand. In fact, breast milk is packed with endocannabinoids, the natural cannabinoids your body makes to support your baby’s endocannabinoid system. Isn’t it interesting that cannabis also produces cannabinoids? Select a discreet CBD option from Hapsy and drop a sense of calm and clarity into your day with one of our Daily Drop essentials. We vote *CBD for moms* every day. Maybe it’s time to trade the “Wine Mom” title for “CBD Mom.”

5. Ask for Help

There’s a reason why the phrase “it takes a village” is repeated generation after generation. Moms were never meant to carry it all on their shoulders. One of the best ways we can advocate for ourselves and our family is by asking for help when we need it. Oftentimes we expect others to know when to offer help, but asking for help puts the power back in your hands and takes the pressure off of others to rescue us. There’s no shame in getting the support you need, and it gives others the opportunity to give back. In the end, it’s a win-win. 

Wherever you are, and no matter your circumstances, you deserve happiness, Mom. Remember to make time for self-care ideas for moms, embrace the joy of missing out, do something you genuinely love to do, allow CBD for moms to elevate you from the inside out, and never be ashamed of asking for a helping hand. CBD and motherhood: we are all in this together.
