Finding your Balance as a Mum
Motherhood is a constant juggle. We’re always running out of time and we often find ourselves frustrated of not being able to dedicate ourselve fully to any area of our lives. Although there is no miracle solution for a balanced life, there are a few steps you can take to find your own peace amidst the chaos of motherhood.
The Weight of the Invisible Load on Mums’ shoulders
The invisible load contribute to mums’ exhaustion in a very insidious way. Mums are rarely recognised for all the planning, scheduling and monitoring work they’e doing for the family. And mums themselves might not even be aware of it! Yet, they feel mentally and emotionally drained by this unseen labour.
The Power of Connection
As mothers, connection is an essential piece of our wellbeing. We strive when we feel connected to our children, we provide them with unconditional love. But we also need to feel love and comforted ourselves. Authentic relationships, where we can be vulnerable and accepted for who we are, is what helps us navigate the chaos of motherhood. We need our village!
Mindfulness for Busy Mums
