Stress Relief for Stay-at-home Mom'sWritten by Cami Koralewski
Continued from page 1
Are unnecessary things of your life starting to make things too cluttered? Look around and figure out what is weighing you down. Is it too many toys, a dog that your kids begged for (but you are only one taking care of him), or an overabundance of after school music and dance lessons? Remember, LESS IS MORE! Who ever said that your kid had to be fluent in Spanish, have all new-age educational toys, and be a concert pianist all before age of twelve? Why not try limiting your kids to one or two extracurricular activities? One more thing: Get rid of Super-mom Syndrome. Too many unrealistic expectations put on you from your spouse, in-laws, kids, PTA, or even yourself can weigh anyone down. Whatever it is, get rid of it. If that means talking to someone or mentally changing your perspective, do what it takes. Realize that everyone is human, even Mom. And even though she is just a human, she is definitely still worth loving. 3. Exercise: This one cannot be emphasized enough. Exercise sends positive endorphins to brain that help you deal with stress, anxiety, depression, sluggishness, and self-esteem. You don’t have to join a gym to get your work-out in. Find something you enjoy: walk, bike, run, swim, hike, lift weights, or join an aerobics class. Try something new like Pilates or Yoga. The possibilities are endless and will help you be a happier, healthier person.

Exercise. Joints and muscles work best when they’re well toned, and that is true for arthritis sufferers as well as public at large. Not all exercises will be appropriate, however. A patient with arthritic knees will probably not benefit from playing basketball or tennis. Low impact exercise like walking or water aerobics may help, however. Patients with arthritis are advised to discuss exercise options with their physician.
Watch your weight. Arthritic joints work best when they aren’t overly burdened. If you are overweight, you are making a bad situation worse by forcing your joints to work harder than they otherwise might. A loss of just a few pounds could make a huge difference, especially if you suffer from arthritic knees.
These tips are certainly not intended to be a substitute for medication, but with a chronic condition like arthritis, every little bit that you can do to ease stress on your aching joints can provide a bit more relief.
