Self Care Group Activities for USA SAHMs: Build Your Supportive Tribe

Introduction

Hey moms! Being a stay-at-home mom is difficult… endless chores, chasing kids, and even less’me time.’ Imagine if self-care could be a group activity. Imagine recharging alongside other moms that know. So let’s dive deep into self care group activities for the SAHM, where you not only care for yourself but also for your tribe.

Are You Ready To Boost Your Self-Care? Let’s See What Fits You!

Imagine your ideal self-care day. Is your time for relaxation? Or perhaps a bit of fun and connection? According to your vibe, use what you create to suit you.

Choose your favorite from these activities, and let’s imagine how it could fit into your life:

Strength in Sisterhood: Finding Your Tribe

Feeling isolated? We’ve all been in this position! The brilliance of participating in self care group activities is that you have the opportunity to meet with moms who have the same challenges. What better reason for friends to band together for a weekly’self care’ ritual?

Quick poll: What would you like to do with other moms?

• Meet for coffee and vent?
• Organized a fitness or walking group?
• Have a DIY spa day?

And let’s go deeper with your favorite.

Group yoga: stretch, breathe and connect

You know it’s not easy if you’ve ever tried to fit in a few minutes of yoga between nap time and snack time. What about yoga with a group of moms? Picture this: you’re on your yoga mat, working out the week’s tension, and as you breathe, you hear the soft chatter of moms talking about their week’s highs and lows. It is peaceful and supportive, and you feel balanced once you are finished.

How to Make It Happen:

Start small. Perhaps Saturday mornings? Pick your time and make it work for everyone.

Find a space you feel cozy—say, someone’s backyard or a local park.

Either have one mom lead the session or watch a free online yoga video together.

Which would you prefer?

• Backyard Yoga
• Park Yoga
• Indoor Yoga (because, really, the weather isn’t always cooperating)

DIY Craft Parties: Unleash Your Creativity

If you’ve missed getting crafty—raise your hand. What if I told you that self-care group activities could also include scissors, glue, and glitter? (And, of course, it’s not a requirement to bring the glitter home from last Christmas if there’s still some stuck in your carpets.) Parties that combine creativity with community are a match made in heaven: crafting parties.

Imagine This: It’s you and a group of moms around a table making homemade candles, soaps, or maybe vision boards. You laugh, maybe you have some snacks (but probably snacks), and before you know it, you’ve not only made something cool but told stories and connected more deeply.

Pick Your Craft:

• Candle-making
• Vision Boarding
• Scrapbooking
• DIY Skincare Products

Meal Prep Parties: Fun, Food, and Friendship

A good genius idea: let’s combine meal prep with hanging out with your fave moms. Chop vegetables, stir sauce, and make healthy meals for the week together. It takes away the stress when you ask the question, “What’s for dinner?” and turns it into something fun.

What Would Your Perfect Meal Prep Party Be Like?

• You all come up with a dish; prep everyone brings one.
• Grocery lists are shared beforehand, and you divide and conquer.
• Cook in large quantities; easy to switch meals for variety.

Preparing meals is only a small part of it—it’s about feeding your soul and making life easier.

Wellness Walks: Fresh Air, Fresh Mind

Let’s talk about something simple yet powerful: walking. If you want to pair fitness with some real conversations, self care group activities like wellness walks are a great option. Meet up with other moms for a stroll around the neighborhood or park; grab your stroller (or leave the kids at home).

How to Make It More Fun:

Give your walks a theme, like ”Vent & Ventilate,” where you vent about your week as you walk away the stress.

Mix up your locations: for rainy days, even the mall, as well as parks and neighborhoods.

So set a challenge—perhaps walking a certain amount each week?

How often would you like to walk with other moms?

• Once a week
• Twice a week
• Extra stress relief, every other day

DIY pampering nights: Bring the spa to you

Friend pampering is very good, but the best is pampering yourself… with friends. That’s next-level self-care. Host a DIY spa night so the moms can soak their feet and relax in each other’s company while making face masks.

What’s Your Pampering Pick?

• Homemade sugar scrubs
• DIY facial masks
• Aromatherapy foot soaks

And you’ve got a mini spa in your living room… Add some calming music.

Personal Development Book Clubs: Grow and Glow Together

Do you want to accelerate personal growth with a support group? The first thing is to begin a book club dedicated to self-care, personal growth, or even mental health. Select books that will inspire you and motivate you to live your best life, then meet regularly to discuss all you’re learning.

Here Are Some Ideas to Get You Started:

Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now (for mindful living)

James Clear’s Atomic Habits (for building lasting habits)

Glennon Doyle’s Untamed (for embracing the self you are)

What book right now do you have (or want) in front of you?

• Atomic habits
• The Power of Now
• Untamed

Tell us which book is most likely worth discussing at your self care group activities gathering!

Vision Boarding Parties: Dream It, See It, Achieve It

Have you ever tried to create a vision board? Imagine doing that with a group of moms who are as driven and excited as you are… now. Get some old magazines, curved scissors, and glue sticks and craft your dreams together.

What’s Unique?

The energy in a group is contagious when you create vision boards. And you see other moms’ dreams, and it inspires you in ways you didn’t know, and you know exactly where you want to go.

Would You Come to a Vision Board Party?

• Yes, let’s do it!
• I don’t know [perhaps]. I need to learn more first.
• That’s not really my thing, No.

Volunteering Together: Giving Back Feeds the Soul

This is a curveball: volunteering can be a form of self-care, especially when you do this with a team. One way to organize a volunteer day is to spend one day with other moms helping at a local charity or food bank. Not only does it give you a change from your routine, but you’ll also get a feeling of fulfillment that is hard to beat. Participating in these self care group activities can feed your soul.

Which Causes Speak to You?

• Local food banks
• Charities for moms and kids
• Community clean up projects

Feeding your soul and making the world a better place? — Giving back is powerful.

Bringing It All Together
