Let’s be honest. Being at home 24/7 with our kids (specially little ones) is exhausting! Plus, we are stressing about the global health emergency, cleaning like crazy, and now homeschooling 🤯. Moms!!! We need to take care of ourselves too! So, I have some questions for you and tips for boosting your energy.
1. Are you mostly sedentary? Every 90 minutes, get up and do two minutes of exercises like jumping jacks, or walk around for a few minutes.
2. Are your sleep cycles out of balance? As hard as it is, don’t hit the snooze button: by falling asleep again you could be interrupting your hormone cycle that makes it even harder to get going. Instead, set your alarm for 15 minutes later if you can spare the time.
3. Do you need a different breakfast? Eating coffee and a bagel or pastry isn’t going to get you far into your day. Instead of refined carbs, go for high-fiber (whole-grain toast with peanut butter), protein (eggs and a whole-grain tortilla), or both (oatmeal with nuts).
4. Are you getting the nutrients you need? Eat magnesium-rich foods like spinach, pumpkin seeds, and almonds each and every day. Add in a magnesium supplement. Eat a well-balanced diet that avoids processed foods. Get more potassium and Vitamin D. Add in a supplement like doTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack to ensure you’re getting all the essential nutrients your body needs.
5. Are you dehydrated? Make sure to drink a full glass of water in the morning when you wake up, and then continue to drink at least half your body weight in ounces throughout the day. Change up the taste of your water by adding in citrus oils like Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, or Wild Orange.
6. Are you stressing? Constantly being in fight-or-flight mode means that you crash when your body has had enough. Use essential oils like Copaiba, Frankincense, Vetiver, AromaTouch, or Roman Chamomile to manage your stress.
