It feels so good to find your mama tribe and have someone that relates to you and know how you’re feeling! You will feel like you’re not alone and that’s a great feeling.

Because you’re talking to other adults and laughing and just really being you. Smiling reduces stress, yay!

9. Watch a funny movie or show

Don’t you notice that when you’re feeling sad, angry or overwhelmed and you happen to see something funny on t.v or on your phone, you automatically smile and feel good inside. Even if it’s for a couple of minutes. If you want a quick way to de-stress as a tired mom then simply pop in a funny movie, watch funny YouTube videos and let that happiness role inside of you.

10. Practice gratitude

Practicing gratitude helps you stay grounded and look at the bright side of things. When you practicing gratitude you are telling yourself “hey, I know I had a bad day, but I am grateful for this..”. It turns everything around for you because you are focusing on the positive side of things, instead of putting so much emphasize on the wrong or bad things that happened in your day. Practice gratitude everyday and it’s going to help you feel less overwhelmed, less stressed and more happy!
