What does it mean to feel exhausted?
Feeling drained, physically and mentally tired and used up. I like to define it as your body can’t take one more dish to wash or one more load of clothes to fold.
Being exhausted is not healthy and it can be dangerous if you don’t take care of yourself. As moms we definitely have a lot on our plate, we are being pulled in one hundred different directions.

3.Quiet activity for your kids
I know for a fact that when you’re feeling exhausted, the last thing that you want to hear is noise. So prevent this from happening by encouraging your children to do a quiet activity. You can also have them watch a movie that you know they’re going to stay still for a long period of time. While your kids are busy doing a quiet activity or watching a movie, take advantage and lay down, close your eyes and breathe in and out.

4. Ask for help
Asking for help is something that we as moms do not do often and I think we honestly should. When I’m feeling physically and mentally drained, and can’t got on anymore, I need to stop and take care of me. I ask my hubby to take care of the kids and to give me at least 30 minutes to myself. So I can either take a power nap or lay down on the sofa. I helps me clear my mind and eliminate the stress that I’m feeling at the moment.
Asking for help does not make you a bad mom. It shows how good of a mom you are that you recognize that you can’t do it all on your own.
