We have all been there. Walking to the park. Maybe your toddler is in our stroller or a bike and they demand you carry them. Your hip is killing you. It hurts every time you lift your leg but you carry them anway.
It makes your mood much worse. When your hip is cranky, it’s going to add a layer of tension, eventually your body is going to express it in another way.

Rage
Overwhelm
Anxiety

Try the above moves to improve your hip pain, release your stress and tension and make every walk carrying your heavy toddler actually enjoyable.

Heres what to do about it:

1. Find down regulation tools that you can use daily as a mom when you feel stress, overwhelm, rage.
2. Reconnect to your breath and core
3. Challenge yourself. Once you build a foundation add weight and add speed and agility.

You wake up to a door being slammed and the light turned on. Your kids are already fighting. You haven’t even peed yet, washed your face….
Maybe your arm is still numb from sleeping on your side next to your baby all night.
You are already cleaning up a mess before you can fully open your eyes. Yup I used to hate mornings, all I wanted was just a few minutes to gather up my brain for the rest of the day, without already putting out a fire or settling yet another sibling dispute.
Next thing you know the day just flies by, and you don’t even know what happened. Zero chance to input your intention and show up how you want to.

Make sure you help yourself before helping your kids. Throughout my morning routine, I make sure I include myself in it now. Because if im not “emotionally fed” I cant show up for them as the calm mom.

1. Gargle water- engages your vagus nerve which in turn helps keep your body calm and in a parasympathetic state
2. Jumping- Can calm your nervous system and help release built up tension you feel in your body.
3. morning mobility- Starting the day with movement and intention will set the tone for the rest of the day to move slowly instead of rushed and anxious.

Take 2-5 minutes to try these three easy moves, amidst the chaos and see how the rest of your day changes.

I used to get the worst stress and tension headaches. I would take Tylenol,pound a bunch of water, eat food, nothing helped….

The thing is you still need to get through your day as a mom even if you have a headache. Your kids still need you. If you work at a computer you still need to finish work, get home, cook dinner get the kids to bed.

All of that with a pounding headache? No thank you

This routine is a game changer if you suffer from headaches and stress and tension in your upper back.

Try this quick sequence. It will take just 2–5 minutes and will help you make it through, I promise.

1. Release Your Temporalis (the muscle above your ear)
• Place the ball right above your ear.
• Gently press into it.
• Breathe and let some of the stress melt away.

2. Upper Trap Tamer at the Wall
• Place a ball into the top fleshy part of your shoulder.
• Let your shoulder drop.
• Take a few slow breaths.
• Add gentle shoulder or neck movements.

3. Child’s Pose with a Block Overhead
• Rest into child’s pose, arms extended, hands on a block.
• Feel your chest and shoulders open.
• Take deep, calming breaths.

Now you can step into dinner and bath time no longer in pain, grounded and more present for your kids. 💛
