5 Tips On How To Avoid Burnout
As a mom, do you find yourself getting burned out quickly? Do you feel stressed and easily frustrated with the kids or day-to-day mishaps? I know I have been there. It’s common for all moms to experience highs and lows with parenting. Parenting is a tough job and burnout can easily sneak up on you. But don’t let that happen. You are far too important!
When I get stuck in a rut, whether if it has to do with managing my home, taking care of the kids or getting everything accomplished on my to-do list, stress and worry fill my mind. I can easily get burned out by the overwhelming responsibilities I have as a wife and mom. Even though I know I need to be strong, sometimes it takes some encouragement from a friend or family member to get you to snap out of it.
Most of the time, for me, it takes prayer. Developing a closer relationship with my Lord and Savior is ultimately what helps me the most.
“The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:2

5 Helpful Tips To Avoid Burnout:
1. Fit relaxing moments into your schedule:
- Take a 15 min nap (study’s show a 15 min nap is the most effective length of time to feel rejuvenated, not 1 hour).
- Go for a 10-20 min walk in the morning, during your lunch break, or late at night when the kids go to bed (if you happen to have a treadmill at home). But if you can’t go for a walk, try doing other forms of exercise.
- Pray and/or do daily devotions
- Devote some time to your self-care routine. To learn more about self-care, how to develop a sustainable self-care routine and get, some tips and ideas on how to incorporate it into your busy lifestyle, click HERE.

2. Put away cell phones, take a break from social media and screen time.
- Get in the right frame of mind when you are with your family. Stop texting on the phone, taking business or work related phone calls, browsing the internet and doing miscellaneous shopping, but rather connect and join together with your family giving them your undivided attention.
- Start conversations with your kids (talking is the #1 way to enhance a child’s development). I love asking my kids questions about so many different topics. Here are my all time favorite questions I love to ask my kids. This helps me to connect with them on a deeper level.
- What was your favorite part of the day?
- Who did you play with today at school or at church?
- What was your favorite thing you ate today?
- How did you feel when ___(fill in the blank)___ happened?
- What made you happy today?
- What is your favorite thing to do with Mommy/Daddy?
- If we could go on a date together, one-on-one, what would you want to do?
- Who do you want to pray for tonight and why?
- Tell me something special about your sibling?
- Assess how you spend your time, look for areas where you can reduce stress. Are you saying “YES” to too many things? Maybe you need to say “NO” to some activities. Is your schedule just a little too jam-packed? Maybe you need to cut back on some things in your schedule or maybe you just need to ask for help in certain areas. Take some time to evaluate your lifestyle to find the areas in your life that are causing stress and leading to burnout. Are you wasting too much time on your cell phone or other electronic devices? Maybe your time could be better spent in other areas.
3. Get organized
- Make schedules (this minimizes wasted time). On the days when I am on the ball, following a rigid schedule to a “T”, I am amazed at the end of the day how much work I got accomplished. However, on the days when I over slept, was off my normal routine, or didn’t follow a plan of action for the day – I was so unaccomplished. It’s pretty pathetic looking back at all the wasted time that took place on those days that had absolutely no plan. After those days go by, the next day I usually feel more stressed to make up the lost time from the previous day to get things done.
- Have a plan. Try making a meal plan, a laundry schedule, a cleaning routine, etc. All these examples plus so many more are great ways to save time and reduce stress and ultimately avoid burnout.
- Organize a carpool with a friend if you feel you are spending too much time in the car. This can dramatically increase your time in the day.
4. Involve the entire family in household duties and chores
- This increases productivity, thus freeing up more time for family fun. I live in a household of 6. Of course my little ones cannot help with the normal household duties, but my older children can definitely help out with the little things. Imagine when my kids are all grown, still living under my roof, but mature enough to help me sweep, do the dishes, the laundry, mow the lawn, shovel the driveway, dust and everything else involved in house maintenance. I would get the work done in 1/6th of the time. It’s a no brainer! Get the family involved and you will save so much time.
5. Schedule “Fun Time” together (and don’t let anything get in the way of your family time together)
- Family should come first, not work, not cleaning or household chores and definitely not screen time (as I mentioned earlier). Make time to be with your family in a way where you are interacting, laughing, cuddling, connecting, making memories and loving on one another. Spending time on the couch watching a TV show every night is not the best way to connect. Going out to a nice family dinner and everyone is one their phones and not talking to one another is not a way to connect. Time will pass by and you have nothing to show for it. How did you actually connect and bond with your family? Make it memorable.
