Comments on: 25 Ways to Get Out of a Rut: Motivation for Moms https://thejoysofboys.com/monday-motivation-25-ways-to-get-out-of-the-mommy-rut/ Parenting Resources for Raising Your Son from Boy to Man Sun, 28 Jun 2020 21:35:52 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.5 By: Stacy https://thejoysofboys.com/monday-motivation-25-ways-to-get-out-of-the-mommy-rut/#comment-538747 Thu, 26 Apr 2018 14:52:52 +0000 https://thejoysofboys.com/?p=717#comment-538747 I needed this today. Reading the comments, I see this is an old post, but nevertheless the advice is timeless! My son will be 1 in a week and he is the best thing that ever happened to me. I’ve changed for the better in so many ways and he’s taught me more about love and compassion in the last 12 months than in my lifetime. But I’m tired, like I want to check out for a week and just sleep. But I know I’d miss him too much. Thank you for this post. I’m planning all 25 out right now – for myself selfishly 🙂 and I’m finally getting to the place where it’s okay to be sometimes. You have a new fan.

I am inspired and have put a few of these things on my list for the next week. My youngest is 9 months old and my oldest turned 16 years old this week. I have 4 children and the years have worn me down more than I would like to admit. Just today I made a commitment to take care of me and these tips will be the perfect starting place.
No longer will my to do list be full of the things that take my energy away. By putting several of these items on my list I hope to recharge between chores. Thank you!!

Girl, I feel your pain! It can be so hard at times. I’m so glad this list helped you out. Know that you’re not alone and every mom I know goes through it at some point. Hope things are looking up! Hugs!

This is something you wrote a while ago and I just wanted to drop a line to say this really helped me today. I found this on Pinterest as I was lookig for some inspiration to get through today. I’ve been feeling very down lately and almost all has to do with keeping up with the day to day grind with 3 kids ages 6 and under and mostly lack of sleep .
I love you list and I am going to print it out! Each and everyone made sense 🙂

Thank you! I wrote this list for me just as much as for anyone else because I always forget that it is the simple things that help us break out of our normal routines that make the biggest difference. Thanks for visiting!
