Self Care for Busy Moms: 7 Small Habits

For years I put myself last. These small habits put me back on the list.

Number 8 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.

Here’s what helps me

✿
  1. 1

    Take your morning first

    Fifteen minutes before anyone else is up.

    How to: Set your alarm a little earlier and keep that time for you.

  2. 2

    Eat a real breakfast

    Not the crusts off the kids plates.

    How to: Protein first, sitting down.

  3. 3

    Move every day

    A walk counts.

    How to: Take the kids or go alone, either way.

  4. 4

    Drink your water

    Moms forget this most.

    How to: Keep a big bottle with you and finish it by dinner.

  5. 5

    Say no to one thing

    You cannot do everything.

    How to: Pick one thing this week you will not do.

  6. 6

    Go to bed on time

    The late night quiet is not worth the tired morning.

    How to: Same bedtime, most nights.

  7. 7

    Keep one habit just for you

    Mine is my morning gut routine.

    How to: Something small you do every day, no matter what.

  8. 8

    The one most people miss

    As a busy mom I needed self care that takes ten seconds. Mine is one little capsule for my gut every morning.

    Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions

How long until I feel a difference?

For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.

Is it hard to take?

No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.

Is it worth the money?

I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.

Can I take it with the rest of my routine?

Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
