How Can You Live a Charged Homeschool Mom Life? Homeschool Mama Self-Care: Nurturing the Nurturer

“The Charge” by Brendon Burchard explores how individuals can activate their passion, purpose, and drive to live a more fulfilling and charged life, providing practical strategies for personal growth.
I want to incorporate the concepts from The Charge so you can live the charged homeschool mom life too!
In “The Charge”, Brendon Burchard argues that the only way to improve the quality of your life measurably is to learn how to activate the ten drives that make you human.
These drives are your desires for more control, competence, congruence, caring, connection, change, challenge, creative expression, contribution, and consciousness.
Also, these drives shape everything you think, feel, and do in life, so understanding and mastering them is critical to your success and happiness.
Strategically activating these drives consistently is the fastest path to living the charged homeschool mom life.

Sometime in January, our home power was out for a few hours. (This isn’t unusual during a snowstorm in the mountains where I live; in fact, sometimes this isn’t unusual in mid-summer with above-ground electricity and 100-feet coniferous trees).
Back in January, we dug out the candles, reminded ourselves how much stored water we didn’t have on hand, and my husband made grilled cheese on the natural gas single burner on our verandah.
I discovered what an enjoyable evening it was without the “buzz” of electricity and artificial lights.
Naturally, I read, of course, I always read;) But I read by candlelight. Charming.
Later, when I got bored, I kidnapped my 15-year-old son’s cellular and we watched Netflix for an hour in front of the lit Christmas tree (yeah, well, not lit because no electricity, but the tree was still up).
It was delightful.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because it was a powerful recharge evening.
WITHOUT sensory stimulation.
I highly recommend turning off all the lights, dishwasher, dryer, and your tree lights (ha, I’ll assume your tree is no longer up now in April) and discovering the quiet (oh, and the desire to go to bed at 7:30, ha). It was a retreat from the charge of electricity.
In our homeschool mom lives, though, we don’t want the electricity to go out.
We don’t want to lose our verve, our energy, our charge, because we have stuff to do.
Ultimately, we want to make this a meaningful life filled with interesting learning opportunities and Instagram-worthy memories. We want to enjoy it. And we want fuel to continue feeling fully alive, purposeful, and present in each of our days.
