Calling All Super Moms
Posted by Phuong on Dec 9th, 2008

Did you know that YOU, working mothers, are the largest demographic dealing with chronic tiredness and fatigue? Do you find yourself pulling a "second shift" at home after a long day of work? Are you depending on high-caffeinated energy drinks, soft drinks, or coffee just "to get through your day?" A study by an independent nonprofit research group, The National Sleep Foundation, found that more than 65 percent of moms drink caffeinated beverages to get through their day. Today's moms have become champion multitaskers who are just as comfortable using their PDAs as they are making apple pies. This super mom syndrome is causing a toll on your life. Face it, you can't do it all without facing stress and anxiety.



It's time to take a few steps back to find balance. Stay healthy, cherish your family, sit back and appreciate what is in front of you. If you can't take care of yourself, chances are you won't be able to take care of your loved ones either. Here are some tips to help de-stress and find some balance in your hectic schedule.

Your Health

  • Take a 10 minute break during the day. That is the perfect time to take deep breaths and give thanks for all the great things in your life.
  • Try to do something active at least 20 minutes a day. Getting busy in bed is a great way to release endorphins that improve your mood and decrease symptoms of stress.
  • Stay away from drinks that give you the jolt and crash. Avoid that quick fix and you'll be on your way to a healthier and happier life. I recommend Koni Super Mom Green Tea which gives you healthy and sustainable energy throughout the day. It contains caffeine which will give you the energy you need and L-theanine, an amino acid that produces a calming effect on the brain. This delicious tropical green tea blended with pineapple and coconut will supply you with age defying antioxidants, cancer fighting polyphenols, and fat burning enzymes all day!
  • Make a pampering appointment for yourself at least once and month and make sure you keep it. Remember, you deserve it!

    Your Family

  • Spend quality time with your family and kids. Find a fun activity that your child(ren) will love to do such as swimming, dancing and walking. They will feel great and thank you for it!
  • Make sure you schedule "date time" with your spouse. Salsa lessons are a fun way to seduce each other and it's great exercise!
