Me-time for Moms

Mom Relaxing


Whether you have 1 child or 2, whether you are working or nonworking, whether you live in a nuclear family or a joint family, Me-time seems non existing for mothers. But after experiencing the joy of motherhood for 10 years I have figured out ways to oxygenate myself in between. Here are a few tips to take out self-time, no matter how tight the schedule is. 

If you have 1-5 min at your disposal

  • Drink a relaxing drink- Lemonade being my fav.
  • Practice breathing: Anulom-Vilom ( Smell the flowers - Blow the candles, Smell the flowers-Blow the candles)
  • Take your Vitamins
  • Give yourself a refreshing Face wash
  • Hug your child-Trust me, this is the most refreshing thing of them all.


If you have 5-10 min at your disposal

  • Call your Friends - I do this most of the time
  • Add those extra mins to your shower time
  • Listen to your fav songs.
  • Change the wallpaper/ringtone of your phone
  • Read an informative blog


If you have 10-30 min at your disposal

  • Trim/Water your plants
  • Clean something or rearrange your wardrobe
  • Make yourself a Chamomile Tea
  • Check out your fav Social Media /Youtube /News Channel.
  • Put on a rejuvenating face mask.
  • Refashion your/children's room.
  • Take a power nap- if not sleeping, even lying down in bed for 20 - 30 min will do wonders


If you have 1 hr at your disposal

  • Practice Yoga Asanas
  • Play a game.- Card Game, Board Games or Solve a Puzzle.
  • Cook/Bake a delicious meal.
  • Write a blog. ( exactly what I am doing right now :P)
  • Read a Novel or listen to it on Audible for fun.
  • Watch an indulging comedy on Netflix/Amazon Prime
  • Go for a walk
  • Pamper yourself with a nice lunch outing with friends.


Hope this article can help you utilize those little moments in life that we tend to miss otherwise. If you have any more self-care tips please let us know.

    Awesome blog Nidhi although I liked the idea of having a few extra minutes in shower as that is the most hurried job..

    For a mom with single child, I feel when the child grows up (5+), you have all the time in the world! Start exploring your hobbies and trying to spend quality time with husband is a must..!

      A child will never grow old for a mother, there will always be interdependency. And frankly, 5 is too early to make your child that independent. As far as husbands (aka part-time mothers cum home-runners) are considered, they are equally tired at times, even they need a break. So yes spending quality time with them is a super stress buster for both.

    I agree that when a child is 5+ a woman should start working for herself. A very important part to understand is that all children are from us not for us. So they should be a part of your life not your life.

      I agree, making a schedule in advance for all the daily activities is the best way to time manage all the things.

    Incredible n insightful indeed. We as mothers neglect the me time most of the times which in return makes us stressed n frustrated. The time just for your own self should be celebrated n cherished at utmost levels. It energises us n keeps us happy.
    P.S: A pampering spa session as me time is the best one for me though🤭

What People Usually Talk About.

  Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Pardon me for spilling the beans and letting the secret of your conversations out in the open...but I cannot hold this research analysis anymore. We have this perception that when talking to our friends, we are talking about anything and everything...but 90 % of the time we only talk about the following categories. For example, women tend to talk about their kids, maids, and house, whereas, on the other hand, men have interests in completely opposite topics like sports (usually cricket in India), gym, and politics. I have done a fair study of the things that people generally talk about. Surprisingly it is always the same for men and women separately. So here is a chart based on my survey....... For Men, Politics Rocks all the time !!. And they have strong opinions about their favorite political team as well ( Secret here: Even though I pretend to listen to my husband talking fondly about political issues but I just cannot stand talking about them. ... s...

The Unsung and Unseen Heroes !!

  F or a very long time my heroes were Superman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman and all people having superpowers. But that was then. Today I am all grown up to understand the world better First question that pops up in my mind is: Why do we need a Hero ? We need them as they save us in difficult situations like war, alien attacks, nuclear explosions etc. They also inspire us to be hardworking, strong, creative and sharp minded. Now in this pandemic when we need these heroes the most, we don’t see Superman or Iron man flying in the sky and protecting all of us. But somebody is taking our care. Guess who? Yes, you are right, it’s our Doctors, Nurses, P harmacist, Soldiers and Teachers. They are the real Heroes in disguise today. Let me tell you why- Doctors : As they risk their lives still coming to hospitals to cure us. Nurses : As they are giving vaccines even if they are at open risk of getting that disease. Pharmacist : As they are always there to provide you the best a...
