Healthy Habits for Moms

Healthy Habits for Moms

Hello, friends!

Hope you’re having an amazing day so far! About a month ago I came to a point where I realized I wasn’t making an effort to take care of myself. I got stuck in a routine of wearing a lot of sweats, not making time to exercise, and I had completely cut all “me time” out of my life. Why? Because sometimes the whirlwind of life takes over, and you’re left giving everything you have to everyone else. It’s a common struggle mommas have, and it was one I had to face.

Healthy Habits for Moms

Here’s the cold, hard truth. I feel better when I take care of myself.

I feel better when I exercise.

I feel better when I take 30 minutes out of the day to do my hair.

I feel better when I stick to healthier habits like taking Nature Made® Probiotics, they help me to achieve a total mind-body balance.

I feel better when I carve out alone time to craft or read or just listen to music.

I feel like I’m more able to take care of the ones that I love, when I take care of myself, too. Does this make sense? That feeling I get when I know I’m on the right path radiates through me and onto every other aspect of my life. To myself as a wife, mother, friend, daughter, everything.

Healthy Habits for Moms

I’ve been loving Nature Made® Advanced Dual Action Probiotic for making my body feel good. It helps both the small and large intestine, and helps to support a digestive balance. I’ve also been taking their vitamins (more on that later), and it’s been just one thing I’ve added to my routine to make sure I’m taking care of myself inside and out. 

It’s always to nerve-wrecking when you start something new. But making the time to take care of me is WORTH IT. In every way, it’s worth it. I’ve been getting out and getting active with my boys, and they love it. They love the momma that wants to go to new parks, explore nature paths, and do fun things. It fills everyone up. And I love it.

Healthy Habits for Moms

  • Nature Made® Probiotics: Nature Made® Advanced Dual Action Probiotic has been clinically studied and provides dual support to both your small and large intestine for comprehensive coverage to help support digestive balance and healthy gut flora.†
  • Nature Made® is the #1 Pharmacist Recommended brand for many key dietary supplement categories*

I pick up my probiotics and vitamins right at Walmart while grocery shopping, easy-peasy! I make it a daily habit to take everything in the morning so I’m starting my day off on a healthy foot. There’s a Nature Made® sweepstakes going on right now where you can enter to win one of 40 Walmart gift cards (each worth $50), so you can stock up on goodies for yourself so you can make healthy changes, too. (No Purchase Necessary).

💕and just like that, I’m on the list for endo 💕and just like that, I’m on the list for endometriosis excision surgery 💕

🏥 I’ve never had a full excision surgery done before. My past surgeries they’ve either burned off the endo, or have done a 50/50 of burning & excising (cutting out) the endometriosis. 

💛 And to be 100% honest, excision surgery is gold standard for treatment of endometriosis, but like a lot of things in healthcare, it’s not covered by most insurance companies, and it’s really, really expensive.

The burning of endo was covered, and was my natural default for so long because we simply couldn’t swing the price tag of excision surgery. It’s also very hard to find a doctor that even does excision surgery, my new doc that will be preforming this surgery is very experienced and has helped a lot of women with endo (lots of women who have had multiple surgeries, too) regain pieces of their lives. 

This upcoming surgery they will be doing the whole she-bang, fully excising the endometriosis, they’ll be collecting and sending in tissue samples, and I’ll get a more comprehensive look at what’s going on.

So while I’m nervous, I’m also really excited. Maybe this surgery will offer more than 3 months of relief, maybe a year - how INCREDIBLE would that be?! 🤞🏼 

I’ll keep you guys posted as soon as I get the call - in the meantime can you send out some positive vibes & prayers for a successful surgery? I’d really appreciate it! 💕

✨ I take comfort in knowing that I hold the key ✨ I take comfort in knowing that I hold the key to my happiness, not my #Endometriosis.✨

🥊 And as much as it fights me, it’s ME that ultimately has the power to choose.

✉️ I can choose to be slipped into an envelope of darkness or break free like a bright firework exploding in the night sky.

💥 I’ll always fight to be the firework. 💥

💕 thank you @smilesandpearlss for capturing this moment of happiness.💕

✨Monday Energy✨ Today my therapist and I were ✨Monday Energy✨

Today my therapist and I were talking about the power you have to see your glass as either half full or half empty.

I’m someone with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness - and balancing those while keeping a “half glass full” mentality can be hard. But it’s so necessary.

Here are some morning affirmations I plan on saying every day to keep a positive mindset, wanted to share them in case you want to try it, too!

✨I send love to every part of my body.

✨I am excited to wake up each morning to live this beautiful life I am creating.

✨Today i align myself with freedom, growth, and joy.

✨I give myself permission to go after what I want.

✨I am determined and will never give up.
