Multiple studies indicate that not only are women spending more time on housework and childcare than men, but they are also working a longer total number of hours. This cycle of behavior has an enormous impact on their health, wellness, and quality of life. If you are feeling stressed and exhausted, consider visiting a women’s health care provider and taking the following proactive steps to create more space and time to improve your well-being.

Consistent Healthy Habits

While many understand the importance of eating right and exercising, doing so can seem almost impossible for women who are balancing a career and caring for children. Incorporate kids into your health and wellness regime by eating the same healthy snacks or bringing them on a brisk walk or to the park. Even taking just 10-15 minutes a day to prioritize your health can make a significant difference. A women’s health care expert can help you find pockets of time in the day to devote to wellness in a way that’s easy and manageable for your schedule.

Make Time for You

Consider investing in activities like hot stone massages, yoga classes, reiki, or acupuncture. If you’re on a budget, set aside a short period at least a few times a week to take a relaxing bath, read a light book, or do some stretching or meditation. Most importantly, schedule regular visits with a general practitioner and OB-GYN provider.

Don’t Ignore Health Concerns 

Many elect to ignore slight aches and pains, especially if they’re constantly working or helping others. However, it’s important to make health a priority. If you feel something is wrong, don’t put it off. Calling a women’s health care provider at the first sign of symptoms can catch medical issues before they become serious, and it will give you peace of mind.
