Natural Energy for Weary Moms

July 16, 2017 by Jaimi Erickson 10 Comments

Ready to have the ENERGY to be the best mom you can be? Get started! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome back! Did you already get started here?

Welcome to Mom Motivation Mondays where weekly contributing writers share their motherhood experiences to encourage you to find the joy in being a mom.

{This week: Post by Jaimi}

Exhausted moms, take note! Gain natural energy to support your health so you can care for your family. Natural energy for weary moms is easy to achieve.

My eyelids would not stay open. I had reached my daily limit of energy, but there were still more hours to go. My big kids always woke up early. My twins always woke up through the night-until they were 3 years old.

I used to hate bedtime. It would make me depressed. The prospect of another night without restful sleep was a huge burden.

My family would say “This too shall pass,” but I just wanted it to be done. That day.

The term mom zombie fit me. My coffee consumption was too high, my sleep consumption was too low.

Being tired is one thing, but this exhaustion was affecting my brain.

I could tell that my memory and attention to details were fading if still existent at all.

It was hard to keep track of my son’s school schedule and stay focused when it was time to help him with homework.

I had little patience when the twins were crying at the same time-and loud!

When I heard about an option to gain natural energy for weary moms, I certainly wanted to learn more.
The problem is there are so many energy drinks, health information specialists, and fad health companies that it was overwhelming.

I had to do something.

Being an exhausted mom was not working well for me or my family.I was already drinking more than a healthy amount of coffee per day. Three cups in the morning and one in the afternoon…just to get by…was too much for my body. I knew I couldn’t keep doing that and have good long term health.

When my friend started sharing what was working for her as a work at home, homeschooling mom, I was definitely interested. See, my friend basically aced the exam to get into nursing school. She is someone whose health advice I value.

When she started sharing about natural ways to support a busy mom’s overall wellness and mood, I was game for what she had to share! It was what I needed.

Exhausted moms, take note! Gain natural energy to support your health so you can care for your family. Natural energy for weary moms is easy to achieve.

Natural Energy for the Weary Mom

I was the weary mom. Exhausted beyond belief with 4 hours of broken sleep every night. I needed a change.

The natural energy for weary moms I found has a funny name, but packs a great overall punch that benefits every body system. It supports energy without the dip that you can get from coffee.

Exhausted moms, take note! Gain natural energy to support your health so you can care for your family. Natural energy for weary moms is easy to achieve.

Ningxia Red is my favorite natural energy drink because it has a high antioxidant rating and can be looked at as a vitamin drink but without the synthetic additives.

Natural Energy Supplement Related to the Goji Berry

Ningxia Red natural health supplement is so concentrated that 1-2 ounces once a day is all you need to support your energy.

The Ningxia Wolfberry is related to the Goji berry. Young Living has combined a puree of the Ningxia berry with their pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils for a wellness drink that is perfect for exhausted moms.

I found it to be essential!

How concentrated is the power of Ningxia Red?

Exhausted moms, take note! Gain natural energy to support your health so you can care for your family. Natural energy for weary moms is easy to achieve.Two ounces of Ningxia Red (or ninja juice as my kids like to call it) is approximately equal to:

146 strawberries
118 broccoli florets
44 carrots
186 apples
45,628 almonds
8 oranges
2 cups blueberries

Ningxia Red has the highest antioxidant rating of all the super fruits with an ORAC rating of 30,000.

So what does Ningxia Red do?

Supports normal digestion.
Provides antioxidant protection.
Balances energy and strength.
Supports the immune system.
Supports vision, fertility, kidneys, and blood sugar.

Ningxia Red is used by many pregnant and nursing moms too. Always talk to your doctor, and know that we have great educational groups to answer any questions you may have.

Get started with Ningxia Red by opening a wholesale account with Young Living and choosing the Ningxia Red Starter Kit. Starting with Ningxia Red this way saves you $130!

You’ll receive a free welcome package from me, and support for getting started on this natural wellness journey. 

I drink my 1-2 ounce serving of Ningxia Red in the early afternoon as a pick me up. Many have replaced coffee with Ningxia, but I like at least one cup in the morning. That is all the coffee I drink now!

I used to drink at least 4 cups of coffee every day-just to survive. Now, since incorporating natural wellness with essential oils into my daily life, including the energy benefits of Ningxia Red, I feel energized enough to keep up with my kids every day.

Ningxia Red is part of the wellness support you can get from Young Living Essential oils. There is so much education and a whole team ready to support you on your natural wellness journey at your pace.

Adding Ningxia Red will help you eliminate excess coffee, sodas, and the afternoon sweet cravings that cause us all to fall off our health plans. Plus, it’s been used successfully by breastfeeding moms and pregnant moms. (Always talk to your doctor before changing your health routine.)

You can connect with moms who have been incorporating Ningxia Red into their daily routine in our private group Stay-at Home Moms Share Together over on Facebook. Or join my essential oils informational group Oily Tipsters Friends.

I’d love to share with you all the ways Young Living and Ningxia Red were a key for me caring for myself while still managing to care for my kids.

We are all works in progress, but let’s take some time today to give our bodies what they need. Live well and have energy to be the mom you want to be for your kids.

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” - Audrey Hepburn

I spotted her just looking at our little seedlings. The peace of doing with our hands what we have learned with our mind is so satisfying. 

Tomorrow we can plant our first seeds in the outdoor garden beds. I am so excited for the simple task.

We are having a few neighbors over tonight. (Obviously not locked down here. 👌) 

I am thankful for like minded people. 

I am thankful too for friends that are not always on the same page.

Today’s schooling looked a bit like this. 💕 L Today’s schooling looked a bit like this. 💕 Library, reading, painting the toy that came in the kids meal, reading time, and calm. 

When I think about my homeschool style (aka structure) it has definitely evolved over the years. I never really researched a style until today actually. 😂 What I found was, we started as Traditional - workbook-based learning. Then I added Unit Studies to our Traditional structure. Now we naturally have shifted to a more Charlotte Mason + Unit Study approach for some subjects and Traditional approach for a few subjects (math most specifically). 

Flexibility keeps our interest. Plus learning never stops.

Today our day began with a visit to our library. When we got home the kids all found a spot and were so quietly reading I did not want to shift gears! So I didn’t. 

There was reading, eating, drawing, painting, and so much quiet you guys I just had to let the kids go with this. My brain was soaking in the peacefulness.

When I started homeschooling, I would have never thought that a day like this would make me feel successful. It feels so good to have reached this point. 

When days happen like today, it feels pretty much like magic. 

What is your style if you homeschool? If not, what style would most appeal to your family?

You know what’s funny? I took this pic not even You know what’s funny? I took this pic not even noticing what random things were out of place. 😅 Perfect for this post today. 👇

Motherhood is a juggling act. We try to seek balance and be joyful, but kids, husband, house, our needs and wants all pull us in different directions.

We worry that if we drop one ball they all will come crashing down! We are busy, yet not feeling productive many days. The line between needs and wants become blurred.

Attempting to keep it all organized is overwhelming. 

We tend to define balance with images in magazines, snapshots of other moms who are
having a together day when we are not, or elaborate spring cleaning tasks that sound great and get pinned but ultimately leave us feeling even deeper in frustration when we do not complete them.

*****
Balance is not a place where you go and never ever again feel a bump in the road.

Balance is an on-going, always changing, never finished job. 

*****

If you feel out of balance today, you are just in the process of working your way back to it. 

If today was a great day, prepare yourself now because the scale may tilt and things may feel out of your control tomorrow. #reallife

It is not easy to cut things from our calendars or limit our focus each day. I feel that struggle so much. My whole family needs and deserves my time and attention. I am constantly in a state of re-balance, and making attempts to re-organize, as I attempt to balance four children and a husband.

That requires a lot of humility, prayers for God’s peace in my life, and relieving myself of any guilt for not doing it all every day.

Do you see the items out of place in this pic or are you focused on the beauty within it? 😉💕

#AD Today was hard! School took longer than expect #AD Today was hard! School took longer than expected, grocery shopping got pushed back, and I am soaking up my time to get quiet and pray it all away. 

I have discovered simple, quick ways to feel refreshed staying at home. With four kids, homeschooling and military life I can not just get a break when I feel I need it. 

These ideas have helped me feel rejuvenated in small moments even when I can not get out of the house to have a break.

One of the simplest ways to recharge is with a good old hot shower. I think it pretty much cures mom overwhelm and stress. I always planned my showers around the kids’ quiet times. That way I could take my time.

Choosing hair care products that are really special make it even better. @hairmayraki has natural repairing shampoos, hair growth kits and weightless moisture shampoo that feeds moisture into your hair so it feels and looks amazing even if you have to air dry!

**Use code JAIMI20 to save 20% on your Mayraki hair care products!**

As we get older our hormones shift, so hair loss can be a problem. Just like after having a baby!

Using Mayraki Hair growth and anti hair loss products helps me maintain full, healthy hair. It smells so nice and makes my hair feel moisturized and completely clean.

I put together a helpful list of ways to help us moms feel refreshed.

They are simple actions we can take to care for ourselves each day. I even have some ideas from my friends here on Instagram too!

Are your kids the outdoorsy, adventurous types? Anyone just over having clean floors with all the wet boots and feet going in and out like me? 🙋‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I can handle dirty floors for all this nature play without a doubt.

#AD Yesterday we had some talks. Things got a litt #AD Yesterday we had some talks. Things got a little tense. There were tears because she was embarrassed about what she did and said. 

I made sure to go to her room after things cooled down (where she was sent for her behavior) and ask why, talk about my reason why, and then she decided to come down and eat her dinner. (The whole issue was that dinner included a green vegetable...😅😂)

Everything returned to contentment. We all smiled. This is real life and real parenting. Our emotions clashed but calm logic brought things back in focus.

Today we can laugh and be silly thinking about it.

How have you been taking time to recharge while st How have you been taking time to recharge while staying at home? Making my list of favorite ways to refresh ‘cause moms with full schedules from morning to night need some simple ideas to get in quiet time. 👏 Do you need recharge time?

I like keeping it simple. 👌 Luxurious shampoo and body butter to maximize the spa feel after a hot shower, Bible study in the morning with my coffee, walking the dog solo are just a few of my break ideas. (I think hot showers are a cure all for a lot of stress! Time to think, feeling the strain wash away...all good things.) What do you think?

Since I have been a #stayathomemom for 13 years now, my kids have always been around and my time has been devoted to home and family. But I NEED time to have quiet and just be alone too. 

That means I have to squeeze in my recharge time in creative, simple ways. 

I am going to finish up this blog post and share it all with you. Share what you do too! I would love to give you a  mention you in the post. 👩🏼‍💻 💕

When you really focus on fear, isn’t it pretty s When you really focus on fear, isn’t it pretty silly how much we let it run our lives? 

Anyone who knows my 7 year old daughter knows she has a “no fear” spirit. She can be a bit of an adrenaline junkie. She is always moving, seeking out fun and not intimidated by the unknown.

As a parent I both admire and cringe. 😅 

I find that I have to suppress my fear when it comes to her adventurous spirit so I do not diminish her true nature. I also have to be on the ball from a parenting perspective to talk through being smart while having fun. 

It is not as if we can ever see the results from the actions before we act though. 

Remembering myself how I truly only know what I see and what faith teaches me allows me to focus on eliminating fear from ruling.

For many years I was the opposite of my wild child. I was always thinking too far ahead to see what potential pain may come. That suppressed my nature. I see my kids so social, so eager to try new things and it energizes me to set that example too. 

Fear is not a worthwhile debate partner. 

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” ~Proverbs 31:25, NIV

Do you wrestle with fear in parenting and life in general or are you more of the no fear type?
