Business getting in the way of life or the other way around? Here’s how to practice self-care when life gets rocky.
Being a boss mom can be challenging.
Whether it’s business wearing you down and starting to creep into your time off, or it’s stress from personal issues beginning to affect your productivity at work, we all go through it sometimes. When life starts to feel overwhelming and you’re not sure what to do to alleviate your stress, that means it’s time to start taking your self-care seriously.
As a multi-business owner and mom of three, I know what it’s like to feel out of sorts when trying to handle everything all at once. If your business isn’t thriving the way you know it should, and it’s bringing you down, you can grab my free Roadmap to Profit workbook.

In this article, we’ll dive into 4 ways to take better care of yourself to bounce back stronger than ever.
1. Take a step away and take time for yourself
“Self-care is giving the world the best of you instead of what’s left of you.”
When you start feeling burned out, take a step back and take a break. Nothing is more important than your mental and physical wellness.
Don’t feel guilty for temporarily removing yourself from the situation that’s causing you the most stress. You can always come back to it later. What’s best is to relieve yourself of any headaches and nurture yourself to heal.
Choose how long you can reasonably stay away from the situation, and make a self-care plan for the time you’re on break. During your break, do activities that ask nothing of you and only give you enjoyment, like doing yoga or reading a book.
2. Refresh your space
When’s the last time you re-organized your living room, bedroom, or work office?
You can move around your furniture, hang up cute artwork, shop for new office supplies, or even paint the walls a new, vibrant color.
Believe it or not, refreshing the areas in your home where you spend the most time is a great way to change the energy of the room. It gets rid of the old, negative energy and invites positive energy to fill the space.
3. Encourage yourself with affirmations
Never doubt the power of the tongue, mama!
Speaking life into yourself helps you overcome stress and anxiety by rebuilding confidence in yourself.
Here are my favorite affirmations for motivating myself when I’m feeling down:
- “I am deserving of abundance in all areas of my life.”
- “I am radiating love–love for myself and love for others.”
- “Everything I need is already within me.”
Repeat these affirmations to yourself three times in a row in the morning before you start your day, or in the evening before you go to bed.

Remember, you aren’t alone!
