The Mama Meh
The Mama Meh to me is not finding joy in being a mom, sick of carpools and scheduling, so over dinner planning, or you are the only person who can seem to find any lost item! The meh is feeling like you are walked all over and no one sees the value in what you have to offer. It is when you have let your cup runneth dry.
What do I do to overcome this feeling?
I am a true introvert through and through. I need my alone time! I need to recharge by myself with no interruptions. It MUST be a no whining zone or a “I need this done NOW!” zone. It is all about me and ONLY me. I tell the kids and my husband it is Hannah time. Meaning I need to work on me at the moment and nothing else. I need a recharge!
My go to is a walk with my ear buds in listening to music, a book, podcast, spiritual guidance or I just have my ear buds in so I can experience total silence. I love to tune out the world and just be in my own head listening and doing what I want to do!
I also go “splurge” on a treat. My go to treat is anything ice cream. Thank you Mom for passing that gene onto me. There is nothing like digging into a creamy treat that just allows it to flow all away.
When I am in a serious slump and can feel that emotions, situations, or something has gotten stuck in my energy I do an energy session. These have been so eye-opening and allow me to process certain things that I just haven’t been able to overcome without a little more introspection. It is always interesting to see what generational patterns have attached to me. Read some of my testimonials of how I have helped others overcome some of their slumps.
When I need extra recharge, I will go and get a massage. A quiet, relaxing massage allows me to process a lot of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Massages also are great conduits for releasing emotions. Have an energy session and then go get a massage. The massage allows for processing everything that much faster.
Others things I do on a consistent basis are meditation, affirmations, journaling, hiking, mindfulness break, emotions flip, gratitude lists and just being still and quiet.
These are just a few of my go-to activities for throwing the Mama Mehs away and coming out on top.
In the comments let me know what you do to overcome the Mama Meh.
