15 you are supermum! let’s look at this from a professional point of view: It is completely normal to have such thoughts. the balancing act between being a mother and still being a woman is no easy task. Psycholo- gists, however, advise accepting the situation and doing something for oneself, even as a mum. It needn’t always be an extended weekend in a spa hotel. sometimes it may be enough to go out for a cappuccino with a girlfriend, have a long soak in the bath or get some exercise. “Women who are in tune with themselves quickly find out what does them good and how long the break should be all on their own,” psychologists say. Here’s another thing which helps when strength seems to be dissipating: Talking to other mothers and exchanging ideas about how to arrange for short breaks. the most important thing is that women realise that they are not alone with their thoughts. A helpful tip from another mother can become an inspiration. And those who don’t have any mothers as friends can find like-minded peo- ple in centres or forums for mothers, people who are just as happy as you to exchange their ideas. In short, this means that the combination of “being in tune with oneself” and talking to other mothers is a kind of secret recipe and helps bal- ance the many responsibilities. But one thing is absolutely certain, regardless of the balancing act: You are a great mother in all that you do. “Women who are in tune with them- selves quickly find out what does them good and how long the break should be all on their own.” MOM’S DAilY – ThE FiRST DRinK FOR GREAT MOThERS* A sweet little someone now defines your daily routine – and for your new “round-the-clock job” you want to stay fit and strong and, above all, healthy.
