But instead of giving excuses just get involved in any form of physical activity. Parents or working women can take initiative to stay fit by getting involved with children or during their children activities. Playing outdoor activities with kids would be fun with fitness. Both mother and father can set a good example for their children by giving priority to physical activities. So dear working moms and dads! Get set go!

One of the most important part of self nurturing or self caring is having realistic expectations. “Feel free to alternate between now and the future as much as it feels helpful, without giving yourself a hard time for needing a break from today.” Materialistic life or material aspirations and basic necessities of daily life compel both of the parents to work. Today women insist to maintain an effective career and to be financially independent. Stress loads are high amongst the working women or you can say busy moms! And it can be often reflected in their relationships at home.
