Anyone else feel like they just don’t stop? Adhering to the weekly schedule of work and childcare, balancing your spare time with coffee catch ups and play dates whilst desperately trying to beat the pile of washing that never ends.
This week (bearing in mind it’s only Tuesday) I’ve had to just stop, breathe and take a ‘mum-moment’ – a moment to embrace that feeling of calm amongst the chaos and let go of the to do lists, the mess and the chores. To let go of the appointments, the deadlines, the worries and the stress. To just breathe.
So promise me this Mumma, when it’s just all getting too much and you have a million things on your mind, take a mum-moment (lock yourself in the bathroom if you have to!). Whether that’s 30 seconds or 30 minutes, however long YOU need and just breathe. Take yourself to your happy place, whether that’s dreaming of sunny beach days or wrapping up warm in the snow, whatever makes YOU smile.
You are also important. You matter too. You’ve got this.
