5 Ways For Stay At Home Moms to Keep From Getting Bored

5 Ways For Stay At Home Moms to Keep From Getting Bored

As a stay at home I found myself getting bored on a daily basis. www.realwebincome.com

I would wake up and not know what I was gong to do that day so I would peel the covers off of me, make me and my daughter breakfast then watch some TV and play on Facebook then watch some more TV for most of the day, Exciting I know! I finally got bored of being bored and changed some things. I have listed 5 of the changes I made to help put some life back into my life.

#1 Start a Routine.
When I would get up in the morning I had no idea what I was going to do with my time during the day so I started planning my day everyday! Each night before bed I would write out what I wanted to get accomplished the next day and how much time I allowed myself for each of those tasks. Example: Breakfast 8am to 8:30am House Cleaning 8:30am to 10am and on and on. If something comes up and interrupts your daily scheduled events it's OK! Life will go on. Just get back on track as quickly as possible.

#2 Find a Hobby
Your hobby can literally be anything! My sister was bored so she joined a Roller Derby league. Clothes-lining tattooed girls not your thing? There are so many things to do out there. My hobby is fishing. I make time in my daily routine to take my daughter fishing a few times a week. It gets me out of the house and I get to spend time with my daughter at the same time. There's crafting, sewing, fishing, model making, find out what you like to do and make some time for it.

#3 Join a Sports Team
This is a perfect way to cure any stay at home mom boredom. You can find sports teams by getting in contact with your city or county offices. Co-ed sports teams always are in need of women players. It gets you out of the house and gets you moving. It also helps with your social life. I play softball for a local bar here in Reno and these people have become a second family to me. There are lots of different teams you can join; Softball, soccer, darts, pool, kickball, doge-ball, tennis....yes I said dodge-ball haha.

#4 Try writing
If someone had suggested this to me 6 months ago as a form of getting out of boredom, I would have laughed at them but once I tried it a couple of times I actually enjoyed it. You don't have to write a novel or anything like that, unless you want to. I just write short articles like this one and post them to article websites and my blog. It requires you to exercise your brain a little and keeps your attention for an hour or so. You can literally write about anything, your memoirs, how-to articles, motivational, advice columns and on and on. Just pick up a pencil or keyboard, think of a topic, pick out 5 or 6 subjects to discuss on the topic and write 5 or 6 sentences for each of the subjects, it's that easy.

#5 Try a Work at Home Job
There are hundreds of ways to do this. You can do direct sales like makeup or candle parties, you would initially try to sell to family and friends then build referrals from there, this does require you to be away from the home though and often times you would need to find someone to look after your child. There is another alternative though. You could find a work at home job on the computer. I know what you're thinking...SCAM! But wait. There are actually work at home jobs out there where you can make good money at home. I actually found one and that's why I get to be a stay at home mom. It is completely legitimate, I work for a real brick and mortar company that pays very well on a weekly basis.
