I can definitely relate! My five-year-old's nonstop energy and curious shenanigans keep me on my toes as well. Those little moments of tranquility, like journaling, are sanity savers!
You're not alone! Many mothers of young children are often drained from the endless demands and high-energy tot running circles around them. It's okay and natural to feel that way. Having said that, it's important we try to recharge however we can because our little ones demand our full attention. little rituals like journaling can go a long way in helping us stay focused and present for our loved ones.
It's these little moments that help keep me grounded and centered!
Evening baths are such a relaxing me-time activity! I've been getting my kids involved in my post-dinner baths too haha - my four-year-old especially loves playing with the bubbles and making it into a little spa session! It's a special mama-child bonding moment that helps me unwind while keeping them entertained. Win-win situation! But I do relish the idea of one day having a long, peaceful soak without any tiny disruption, haha! Morning walks sound refreshing too; might need to plan one soon!
They say luxury is in those small moments of peace and I couldn't agree more! It's these quiet, simple rituals that help us recenter and refocus amidst the chaos of our demanding roles as moms.
That sounds like quality family time and precious moments creating special memories with your little ones! When they're grown, those will be precious times cherished. For now, enjoy these interrupted but loving moments!
As a mum, I'm always exhausted and crave me-time, yet when I finally have some alone time, I often feel a little lost and end up doing nothing. Do you have suggestions for actual solo activities I can do during my quiet time that will help recharge and recenter? Ideally something simple that doesn't require too much planning or equipment!
