Lately I've felt frazzled.
I've not been able to pinpoint why this is, but feel that it might be due to having too much to do, and little time to do everything.
I suppose three kids don't help with this feeling of frazzledness. It could also be that I have motherhood stress or otherwise known as being constantly overwhelmed.
Mothers never get breaks, mums do everything and also seem to be the last on any list. Sad but true.

- Make sure I keep up with my vitamins. Caruso's Natural Health have wonderful products to help you look and feel amazing. If you are feeling down it could be as simple as you need more vitamin D or B. Even though we live in a country that gets a lot of sunshine many don't get enough of vitamin D. Or you could need an herbal supplement like Caruso's Anxiety Aid or Caruso's Rhodiola to help you reduce nervous tension and stress.
- Get some exercise - I really want to do more but at the moment a walk is just what I need.
- Meditate - Calm down and just have some time alone. Sitting in silence is great when you have a crazy house full with three kids.
- Watch a favourite tv show when kids are at school and care. This way I can finally hear the show and not pause it a million times due to being interrupted.
- Get more sleep - I am always feeling tired and exhausted. More rest is ideal and sleep is one thing that is high on my to do list. You cannot function properly if you don't get enough sleep, you end up grumpy, frustrated and annoyed.
- Make a date with friends - A simple catch up with some mates always makes you feel better. You can have a chat, feel better and have some much needed adult conversation. It is hard as a busy mum, but try and book in these times and you will thank yourself for it.

The wonderful pack that I was sent from Caruso's Natural Health. Thanks, so much the new products are really helping.
When I am stressed my body hurts.
I suffer from severe tension headaches, I end up with a sore jaw, head, neck and more.
The pain is intense and during these periods I don't get a lot done.
The housework suffers, my work suffers and all I really want to do is to sleep and be left alone.
I struggle to keep my eyes open due to the intense headaches and feel so exhausted.
The supplements that I received from Caruso's Natural Health have made me feel calmer very quickly. I was not sure how long it would take for me to feel any difference, but I believe it was noticeable after about a week.
I feel less stressed and my body is slowly on the mend regarding the tension headaches.
