a family spending time together - taken by peachpurple
Parenting has never been easy for me nor anyone.
Both of us , mom and dad had hectic life to deal with office work, household chores and educating our kids.
Married couples are pressured by older parents to produce more children, preferable “Super child” with multi-talents and super intelligent then technology.
Everyone has to deal with this insane lifestyle in this modern world where everyone and everything is going in fast lane.
Hence, pressure, stress and unbalance diet induce health risk problems which you are least expected.
Here are 5 Tips how to stay SANE in the fast lane of our daily lifestyle
Nobody could avoid stress nor pressure. Even little children are dealing with stress at tender age.
Stress is part of our life. It is inevitable problem that people of all age, all walks of life had to face it someday or daily.
Busy parents have to learn how to handle with stress amicably by listing out the problems and what are the causes.
Then, they can discuss over the problems, steps on how to control them from reoccurring, make a point to try overcome one problem at a time with effort and time spent.
Try to get rid of stress with solutions not arguments or pushing the blame at each other.
For example: If grandparents and your children are giving you problems constantly, try to work out by talking with them or simply send your children to childcare center. Alternatively, one of you could quit your full-time job ( the one who has higher post and steady income becomes the bread winner), stay at home to become a homemaker, taking care of your children or work part-time ( at home or outside )
Always try to calm things down by negotiating, think of positive solutions and don’t procrastinate.
Getting organize means getting things done without procrastinating , put things off to later dates.
When the house is in a big mess, schedules are mixed up, broken things are not fixed, problems will become bigger as they generate with time.
When the problems are organized, you will feel more in control with the situation.
Never panic when things go wrong. Calm down, stay firm and confident .
Always keep a small note book where you can jot down what are the tasks you need to follow up.
Write down the household chores, the things that you needed, the errands that you have to accomplish in the week, grocery shopping list and children schoolwork / projects .
Sort them into different categories.
A- Urgent, must be done immediately
B- Can wait until tomorrow or the next day
C- Can wait until next week or when you are free.
When you are unable to stay sane because of your hectic schedules, unable to get away from your job for a short while, try to get someone’s to help you out temporary until you can find a permanent helper.
You can ask your neighbor or friend whom you can trust, relative or family member for their help.
If you need emotional support or advice, talk to other parents with similar problems, surf online for parenting forums to seek help. Sometimes, if it difficult to discuss emotional problems with your spouse or family members.
Talking out your problems can help you to feel ease and keep you sane.
In order to stay in the fast lane, you need to stay healthy , keep your stamina at the top level and keep your kind clear.
Never skip breakfast in the morning. It is important meal of the day to keep your body strong and healthy.
Eat food packed with carbohydrate for energy, nutritious food with less sugar and fats.
Eat regularly at the same time of the day.
Drink lots of water to stay hydrate. Avoid caffeine beverages , alcoholic and carbonated drinks.
Avoid smoking which is bad for your health.
Feeling tired after an insane day?
You will need to exercise to keep your body fit and strong to keep yourself sane for the next day hectic day.
Pick an exercise that is suitable and easy for you to keep up with daily.
Brisk walking before dinner for 20 minutes with your dog.
Walking to the playground with your child
Walking to nearby coffee shop or restaurant for lunch
Walking home from the bus stop
Walk around the neighborhood with your spouse or parents
A short 20 minutes of exercise daily helps to revitalize your body by reducing the stress build up.
Breathing the fresh air rather than cooping up in your home, helps to improve your attitude and awaken your tired mind.
Please share with me how do you stay sane with your insane lifestyle

Great tips for parents, Peachy dear! It is so easy to feel overwhelmed with our parenting duties and the other obligations we have in life. Moms and Dads need all the help we can get :)
I do agree that parenting is a tough job. It is always a priceless act to take charge of the welfare of the family. I hope the parents can reach this blog of yours and be shared to the social network. I had seen it in both of my parents and I will do the same thing if finally had my own family in the future.
It's true that parenting has it's ups and downs. It can be very challenging at times and that's why parents are always reminded to be same and try to avoid getting mad all the time because that never helps a family. I do agree with your sentiments we need to take care of ourselves, by eating well exercising because these are very vital in our everyday life. Sometimes people can get frustrated because of th3 kids or the many demands of th3 family and that can be very stressing. But from what I have gathered over the years it's good to keep life simple all a issues whenever they crop up and always go a an ear to your partner that way misunderstandings will be a thing of the past.
