7 ways on how to stop being an angry mom
1.Recognize your triggers
One super important thing to start doing in order to stop being an angry mother is to be aware of the true reason why you feel angry all of the time. What’s the real reason you’re always mad and lashing out? (work? stress?your thoughts about yourself?). Make a list of every reason you can think of.
Being aware will help you eliminate the triggers and therefor help you become a a more joyful, present mother.

2. Stop saying you’re an angry mom or this is who you are
Words are very powerful. What you tell yourself even if it’s false becomes a belief and then you show up as a mom and wife as an angry mom.
The more you say “I’m an angry mom, this is who I am” is giving you an excuse to not change and stay the same.
Also, being an angry mom is not who you are, you’re just telling yourself this.
So what if you start telling yourself that you’re a calm, happy mom?
How will you act now? how do you manage your emotions? what do you believe about yourself now?

3. Do more things that brings you joy
One of the reason why you have mom rage is because you are neglecting your needs. You’re taking care of everyone else but yourself. So now you feel stress, overwhelm are angry. Romanticizing your mom days can seriously help. You can create your days with intentions of feeling more joy and happiness. By doing small things throughout your day that brings you joy, gratitude and that good feeling all around.
Drinking your iced coffee, reading the bible, going on a walk, taking a break ect…Your day to day is what counts and the more you treat yourself to these small feel good moments, the more you are able to feel less anger and more happiness.

4. Journal
I love to journal and find it super helpful to write things down. Writing how you feel and noticing trigger is helpful. Sometimes we either don’t speak to adults or we just simply do not want to share your feelings in that moment. So journaling about it can help you release that emotion on paper.
I love to write a gratitude list every morning and list 5 things that I’m grateful for. Which helps me feel better immediately.

5. Self care always wins
In order to feel better as a mom and less reactive to small things that are happening in your day to.day life.Start filling your cup and practice self care. Taking care of yourself is so important to do. It is not selfish, it doesn’t mean you’re full of yourself and it definitely does not take away from you being a great mother and wife. Practicing self care helps you feel better, be more patient, feel happier and more you are able to be more present with your kids.
Being mindful of your days, how you take care of yourself and specially how you treat yourself is important. Talk to yourself with kindness and build yourself up. You are doing a great job and you matter too.
6. Practice gratitude
Another quick way to start ditching the angry mom syndrome is to practice gratitude. Practicing gratitude and being thankful for the things that you have in your life helps you feel so much better. You are focusing on the good and positive things of your life and not wishing you had someone else’s life. Gratitude helps you keep grounded and it improves your mood as a mom!
