How to Live Your Best Life as a Working Mom

Sharing is caring!

Working mothers face unique struggles as they try to balance the competing demands of career and parenting. They need to prioritize self-care amidst the chaos, so here we explore ways that working moms can excel at all aspects of their lives without sacrificing one over another.

Here are some tips to live your best life as a working mom, shared by Coffee Chats & Yoga Mats.

Because you can definitely live intentionally with passion and purpose as God’s beloved. (And you’re worth it!)

1. Live your best life by working with your personality, instead of against it

Did you know that you have been uniquely equipped for great purposes? (Ephesians 2:10)

In fact, your unique personality can give you some insight into Whose you are, who you are, and how you can create your aligned life – where you’re thriving as a working mom, too!

When you understand your personality’s strengths and limitations, you can be more intentional about how you plan your days, organize your life, and so much more.

Our VIP free resource Embrace Your Potential Playbook will help you:

• Learn what God has to say about your personality. Answer questions like, “”Why am I like this?!”
• Identify your God-gifted personality so you can understand how you find passion and purpose
• Get practical tips for being more intentional with your time and energy so you can start thriving instead of just surviving

2. Live your best life by making time for exercise

Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore—it can be an enjoyable way to de-stress, get in shape, and clear your head.

It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough physical activity each day so that your body stays healthy and strong.

Start by making time for regular workouts or just take a walk around the block after dinner with the kids—anything that gets your heart rate up will do the trick!

3. Live your best life by evaluating your career satisfaction

Are you satisfied with where you are in your career? Do you feel like it’s going in the right direction?

Take some time to evaluate how happy or unhappy you are with your current job situation.

If things aren’t going well, consider going back to school or switching jobs altogether.

4. Live your best life by researching what you can study or switch jobs

Studying again or switching jobs may seem daunting but there’s never been a better time than now to invest in yourself.

If you’re looking for something new, research available options in fields related to the one you’re currently in or explore new opportunities entirely.

There are many resources out there designed specifically for working moms who want to switch careers or go back to school!

One example you can explore is going back to school online. If you’re interested in earning a business degree, for instance, you can start when the time is perfect for you (as well as your family).

5. Live your best life by practicing meditation

Meditation is an incredibly easy way to take control of your mental health and find your balance. It doesn’t have to be intimidating – anyone can do it!

All you need is five minutes a day to check this — practice taking deep breaths or listen to some guided meditations online.

These short moments can make all the difference when it comes to reducing stress levels and keeping anxiety at bay.

Plus, they help you start building healthier habits as part of your daily routine.

So why not try it today? With a few simple breathing exercises, you’ll be ready to take control of your mental health in no time.

6. Live your best life by making quality time with your kids

Being a working mom means it’s hard to find quality time with your children during the weekdays even though they may need it most then!

Make sure that when it comes time for family dinner, homework help sessions, bedtime stories, etc., those times are filled with love and meaningful interaction instead of just checking off tasks from a list of chores.

7. Live your best life by eating healthily

Eating healthier is one of the best things we can do for our bodies—not only does it give us more energy throughout the day but also helps us stay healthy overall!

Start by replacing processed foods with fresh fruits and vegetables as much as possible and limiting sugar intake where possible too.

Making small changes like these will eventually turn into lifestyle habits that will benefit everyone in the long run!

8. Live your best life by getting ample time to sleep

Last but not least – getting enough sleep is essential for busy working moms who want to take care of themselves properly!

Make sure that when it comes time for bedtime every night you get some rest – even if it means setting an alarm clock earlier than normal so that you can squeeze in some extra hours of snoozing before having to wake up again in the morning!
