💜mamas, when you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember Jesus says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬ ‭

A few tips for the overwhelmed mom:
•Be intentional about connecting with other moms to share your struggles. (If you don’t have good friends, pray for new friends & visit places you know moms will be so that you can meet them! eg. The library, church, etc.)
•take your worries to Jesus in prayer
•read your Bible and meditate on it
•listen to Christian music during the day (when we can think, the truths in good music can help redirect our focus back to Christ.)
•worship and fellowship at a local church
•journal (could just be a Bible verse you’ve selected to focus on for the day, or could be about whatever is going on…just give yourself a place to process)
•get out in nature
•move your body, go for a walk, pick wildflowers, etc.
•see a licensed Christian therapist if you just need a safe place to process. There are so many options online these days!… @betterhelp is a great one!
