Stay-at-home mothers are a special group in society. The excellent brand of psychological counseling in Chongqing suggests that their work cannot be quantified, but their value has never been recognized by society and family.
A self-mockery may make many people laugh, but I think only those who have really experienced it have the right to speak. Even so, stay-at-home mothers still have many difficulties, such as family incomprehension, housework pressure, parenting anxiety, lack of self-worth, disappearance of social circles, and so on. All kinds of stress seriously affect their body and mind, and even lead to depression. So how can we help a real stay-at-home mom get out of trouble? The following are some suggestions, hoping to provide some help for you who are anxious:
1, maintaining economic independence
"You are responsible for beauty, and I am responsible for making money to support my family" may exist in reality, but even as a full-time mother, you should maintain the ability to make money. Zhang Peng, a psychological counselor of Chongqing Cuncaoxin, stressed that economic independence can not only bring a sense of security to stay-at-home mothers, but also give you enough respect from your family. And after economic independence, mothers will have more ways to improve their quality of life.
2. Arrange the exchange of life scenes
Don't stay at home every day, try to arrange some activities that you can go out. Even a walking baby can choose different scenes every day, so that life will not be so boring.
Establishing your own social circle and interacting with people can at least give you spiritual comfort, and proper socialization can also alleviate the anxiety of stay-at-home mothers.
3. Keep the habit of learning and insist on self-improvement.
Once a stay-at-home mother leaves the work circle, it is easy to lose herself for a long time. Full-time mothers should make full use of fragmented time, recharge themselves through continuous learning, strengthen knowledge reserves, enhance their abilities, refresh their cognition, pave the way for their future and set a good example for their children.
4. Self-regulation.
Stay-at-home mothers can find some appropriate ways to relieve stress when they are anxious, such as exercising, getting enough sleep, listening to music and chatting with people.
5. Enhance dad's sense of family participation.
It is very important to enhance dad's participation in the family. You can use the weekend to let your husband experience the process of taking care of the children alone, which will not only make him personally realize the difficulty of being a full-time mother, but also reduce the pressure on his mother.
6. Take some time for yourself.
Set aside a free day for yourself every week to have a good rest and enrich your spare time. Only when the life outside the family is rich can you have a better mood to face the family. Don't take family as the whole of life, and don't let life get narrower and narrower.
7. Seek help from family members or professionals in time.
There is no superwoman in the world. Chongqing Cuncaoxin Psychological Counseling Co., Ltd. reminds you that if the pressure is beyond your tolerance, you should seek help from your parents, husband and mother-in-law in time and ask them to share the parenting pressure.
If the anxiety is too serious, you should seek professional psychological guidance.
