Finding balance between fitness, nutrition and self care as a mom can feel like an overwhelming challenge. Juggling family, work, friendships, and countless other responsibilities often means your personal wellness gets pushed to the side. But what if you made your wellness a top priority -- even for a few weeks?
Here are 5 essential habits to find your wellness balance as a mother, and how Body Well, our wellness program, can help a busy mom like you.
1. Make Your Self-Care Non- Negotiable: As moms we tend to push self-care aside, thinking we'll get to it later or that it's an indulgence or luxury. The truth is, self-care is essential to our mental and physical wellbeing as moms. And it's not just about a spa day or coffee date. It's more than that! It's eating well, moving your body, anxiety/stress reducing activities -- every day. Our Body Well program teaches moms how to create a daily self-care routine that fits into their lives -- so you can be your best for your family and yourself.
2. Surround Yourself with Support: Ditching habits that don't serve you is hard, so why do it alone?! Body Well’s small group setting fosters a strong sense of community, where everyone cheers each other on, celebrates wins, and offers support when things get tough. Accountability is a game-changer in creating new habits and sticking to them.
3. Fuel Your Body to Energize You: Nutrition is essential to feeling good inside and out, especially if you're a busy mom. Body Well provides nutritional guidance that’s both realistic and sustainable. The program helps take the guesswork out of nutrition by giving clear guidance that fits into your life as a mom. Over eight weeks, you’ll build a relationship with food that feels empowering rather than restrictive, providing the foundation for lifelong healthy habits.
4. Set SMART Goals: Specific. Measurable. Achievable. Relevant. Timeframe. Your Body Well Coach will help you define your goal(s), whether they're focused on fitness, mental well-being, or personal growth. You and your coach will take your goal and create weekly micro goals -- small steps you can do each week that will help you reach your bigger 8 week SMART goal (s). And with habit tracking and guidance, Body Well will give you the structure and support to stay on track and celebrate each weekly win.
5. Move Your Body in Mindful Ways: Regular movement is good for the body AND essential for mental wellness. Body Well’s weekly workouts are designed to help you grow stronger and feel more resilient, both physically and mentally. But Body Well goes beyond exercise; it provides strategies for managing stress and finding balance. The program incorporates mindfulness and encourages moms to tune into their bodies, recognizing when to push and when to pause.
Remember, your wellness is important. You can't give your best to those you love if you don't feel your best inside and out.
