Being a mom means work, house chores, laundry, play dates, school events, appointments, and more. it's typically all about ensuring your children are happy, have everything they need, and can live the most abundant life possible. And today, if you have to add home schooling to the mix, you can become even more stressed.

A mom's day-to-day workload can be very stressful. So, below are 10 ways you can de-stress as a busy mom.

  1. Prepare in Advance

Being prepared is the ultimate tip. This means knowing what everyone is going to be eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the following day, and preparing the ingredients that night, including packing the kids lunch boxes if they are not homeschooling. Then, you can simply pop it in the oven, or microwave it the next day.

Another thing you can do to be prepared is to pick your's and your children's clothing out the night before, and ensure you have enough gas in your car, so you won't have to stop for gas the next morning.

  1. Give Yourself a Time Out

Busy moms simply need time for themselves every so often. See if you can have a family member, your spouse, or friend watch your children for maybe an hour, so you can just get away, or do something to pamper yourself. You could:

  • Go out for a walk
  • Take a drive
  • Lock yourself in your room, and listen to some music
  • Read a good book

You need to know when it's time to say, "I need a break." And, be sure to give yourself this time to indulge in yourself.

  1. Write in a Morning Journal Daily

Studies found journaling could help decrease stress levels, as well as anxiety and depression symptoms. Write down your thoughts each morning to clear your head and process your emotions.

  1. Treat Yourself

When you're a mom, it can be too simple to lose your identity. Priorities change when you're "mama." You always put your children's needs and wants first, and can forget about yourself. And, while you should put your children's needs and wants first, don't lose yourself.

Go out and treat yourself a little, such as:

  • Having your nails done
  • Buying new perfume, makeup, pair of shoes, or handbag
  • Having your hair done

Do things that make you feel special, too.

  1. Meditation

You've most likely heard you can lower your stress levels through meditation. But, you might not realize it doesn't take an hour long meditation session to do this. Even a few minutes of practicing meditation can help. If you're not sure how to do this, or you have trouble sitting in silence and clearing your mind, a guided meditation may be your answer.

  1. Listen to Music

It's easy to listen to music, and can cost you nothing. It's also the perfect trick for stress relief. Put on some favorite music while you're driving to help you enjoy a more relaxing and calm ride. Play slower-paced music to help you slow down, and more upbeat tunes to help you energize.

  1. Exercise

Speed things up a bit to help relieve stress. Exercise offers many stress management and health benefits. It's amazing how less stressed you could feel by walking on the treadmill for 15 minutes or so. There are also certain exercise regimens that can offer a great aerobic workout such as:

  • Running
  • Martial arts
  • Dancing
  • Cycling
  1. Take a Warm Bath

A warm bath offers restorative effects on your joints and muscles. Make it a little hotter, and you can also stimulate an endorphin release to help bring down pain levels naturally, and de-stress.

  1. Take a Walk

While exercise provides many benefits, even simply taking a walk for 15 minutes here and there can also help reduce stress, and enhance your health. Aim for walking in the early mornings or late evenings about three times weekly. This will not only not interfere with your busy day, but you can also have the added benefit of burning off a few calories to help manage your weight.

  1. Sleep on a CBD Pillow

Studies have already found CBD provides many benefits, such as:

Studies have even found a positive link between cannabidiol and sleep disorders, such as insomnia.

Now, instead of reaching for CBD-infused oil, you can try sleeping on a CBD-infused pillow.

Unlike sleep aids or pills, CBD won't leave you groggy the next morning. A CBD pillow offers you with a micro dose of CBD all night long, unlike ingestibles where you feel the effects all at once, and then experience a crash once the dose fades away.

CBD pillows are a safe, all-natural sleep aid. A CBD-infused pillow uses microencapsulation technology where millions of CBD micro-capsules are injected into each pillow that break with the friction of your skin and hair, and release micro doses of CBD into your system all night long.
