Document your hard work

While most working moms may not have a lot of time to journal, make a habit of documenting your feelings. Taking the time to reflect on things you’ve done can be a perfect way to celebrate your accomplishments. From getting that hug from your child, to well deserved encouragement from your boss, even little things can be impactful.

The more positivity you jot down, the more you’ll have to flip back on when you’re looking for an extra pick me up. Hopefully you’ll have notebooks full of stories and heartwarming moments that make you feel celebrated for all you do. If you don’t know where to start when it comes to journaling, try starting with some affirming lists. From listing all the things you’re thankful for, to jotting down affirmations, this is an easy way to celebrate you!

 

Be fearless with your style

A great way to celebrate yourself as a working mom is by being fearless with your sense of style. Don’t let anything hold you back from wearing what you want to wear. Celebrate all that you are with a bold look that makes you feel powerful and unique. Being fearless with your style might mean trying out that bold shade of lipstick you’ve been on the fence about. It’s all about making changes that make you happy.

Look for ways to be more daring with your everyday look, like finding an exciting new hair color! Changing up your look with a new hairstyle or even with a bold outfit are easy ways to be fearless when it comes to celebrating you. Working moms are powerful, so own your sense of style and allow it to empower you. The next time you find yourself hesitating when it comes to a style change you’d like to try, don’t hold back and just go for it!

Treat Yourself

One of the best ways to truly celebrate yourself and all you do is by setting some time aside to do what makes you happy. Whether it’s getting a mani/pedi or a taking a trip, put something on your calendar that you can look forward to. Keep in mind that this doesn’t always mean spending money. If you’ve had a book for months that you haven’t started, designate some time to open it.

Treat yourself to a girls night out and catch up with your friends! Whatever it may be that gives you some time to enjoy yourself will make all of your hard work feel celebrated. Lastly, when it comes to treating yourself as working mom, remember to not feel guilty about it. Many working moms are constantly jumping from one thing to the next while simultaneously putting others needs before their own. As you celebrate all you do, relish in the self-care in a guilt-free way!

 

Cherish family time

When you’re planning your schedule, do you carve out time to spend with your family? If not, be sure to make it a priority. At the end of the day, what makes all of your hard work worth it are the moments with your family. Celebrating all you do as a working mom can best be practiced through quality time with your children and partner. Whatever the activity may be, an activity with those you love is sure to make you feel appreciated!

Family time will help increase your happiness and deepen your connection with your kids. While it might be difficult to juggle extracurricular activities, having moments together as a family will be well worth it. For starters, try picking out a specific night each week that you know will work for the entire household. Doing so will make sure to have family moments happen more often!


Working moms deserve to be celebrated and affirmed every day. As you begin to find more ways to celebrate yourself and all you do, consider incorporating the tips above into your daily routine!
