Running Out of Steam by Mid-afternoon? These Tips Can Help a Busy Mom Cope

November 5, 2018 by Juliann

You’ve heard it said that a mother’s work is never done, and how true that is! Even in this day of equality, moms are busier than ever, especially when holding down a full-time job while taking care of a family. That is not to say that dads don’t have their hands full as well, but this is about moms and how their day never seems to end.

How many days have you ‘almost’ made it through until 3 o’clock rolls around and all of a sudden that extra boost of energy you experienced during lunch seems to drain away, leaving you more exhausted than you were before? Well, take heart because there are some tips to help you revitalize long enough to make it through dinner and the bedtime ritual your kids have come to expect.

1. Get up and Get Moving!

If you have an office job, probably the worst thing you can do is to sit there without moving. Even if you have tasks at hand that prevent you from moving about the office, take a restroom break to get you up and walking if at all possible. Walk as quickly as you can to get the blood circulating and take a few very deep breaths. Oxidizing all those cells in your body will bring a bit of energy you were lacking, so do make this a ritual every time you feel your energy waning.

2. OTC Supplements with a “Stimulant Effect”

Here is where you need to be a bit careful. Sometimes those energizing supplements can be as dangerous as prescription drugs, so take the time to do your homework. One of the more popular supplements on the market is Kratom capsules, which you can simply swallow with a glass of water. Check out the information on https://thekratomconnection.com/kratom-capsules/ to learn how much you should take.

3. Vitamin B12 Is Highly Recommended

Also, you can find energy drinks made from all natural ingredients with the main active ingredient being vitamin B12. However, it is known that all the B vitamins work better in a complex together, so remember to check whether any other B vitamins are in the drink. Also, you will want to stay away from those energy drinks with high amounts of caffeine or sugar. While you may get an instant rush of energy, the resulting crash and burn will make you more tired than you are now – if you can even imagine that.

As a final note, although Kratom from the Maeng Da genus is closely related to coffee, the active constituent of this natural product doesn’t affect the body in the same way as caffeine does. You will also want to carefully monitor the amount you take because a smaller dosage gives you that burst of energy and a sense of wellbeing, but a larger dose may not be appropriate. In any case, you are always advised to talk to your doctor before trying any new supplements. Some people don’t tolerate new products well, so you will want to know if this is right for you. With that in mind, remember that you should never do anything in excess. As the old saying goes, enough is enough.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
