Mom’s Weekend Dilemma – Time to Relax or Time to Get Ahead? [Metromom Podcast]

We watch our children and our husbands do it, but for us as moms it’s so hard to do “nothing”. It’s hard to let go of our to-do list and spend a weekend or even just a few hours really relaxing. You’d like to sit and read a novel, take a bubble bath or play an endless game of Monopoly with your 9-year old.

But… if you’re like me there’s always something you really SHOULD do. You’re already mentally gearing up for next week and thinking of ways to get ahead—maybe it’s catching up on laundry, getting a head start on your next newsletter or responding to last week’s emails.

  • Hi Kim,

    Great podcast. I love your thoughts about going for a walk, driving without distractions, meditation. I use them all and they make a wonderful difference in my life. One other thing that I try and do within the context of my day is paying attention to my breath and the sensations that are going through my body. So much of the time we are in the to do's and the shoulds that we are living in our heads and being driven by our minds.

    When we give ourselves time to tune into our bodies, feel the warmth that is flowing through our veins, the breath going deeply in and out of our lungs we become more present to the moment. When things are crazy try to feel the sensations in your body and be mindful of this while you do the laundry, play with the kids, make dinner or even just lay in the bath. Tuning into our bodies and developing a relationship with ourselves is a great gift. This is the only body we have and no one will take our bodies more seriously than we do.

    Enjoy your moments,
    Gerrianne
