In this whirlwind called motherhood, we all feel the constant push and pull. But it’s okay to hit pause. To slow down. It’s time for us to lay down that ‘SuperMum’ cape and give ourselves a little grace.
By Harper Steele
When we’re always on the run, we become rundown. We feel that burnout, and trust me, it ain’t pretty. Not only for us but for our little ones too. Because when we’re always on edge, always rushed, we’re not truly there with them.
Now, when you slow it down, savoring those in-between moments, there’s magic. The world becomes clearer, and your heart? It beats a tad softer, in tune with the laughter and stories of your little ones.
Wondering how to gift yourself that pause? Here’s the guide to slowin’ it down.
“PRESSING PAUSE DOESN’T MEAN PUTTING YOUR DREAMS ON HOLD. IT’S ABOUT EMBRACING THE JOURNEY WITH INTENTION. IT’S ABOUT QUALITY, NOT ALWAYS QUANTITY.”
Set those boundaries
You don’t have to be everything for everyone. It’s okay to let that laundry pile sit a day longer.
Share the load
Got a partner? Let them dive into the chaos with you. Need a breather? A babysitter or nanny isn’t a luxury; sometimes, it’s a necessity.
Treat yourself
Sink into that tub, delve into that book, or simply revel in the beauty of a silent moment. It’s your time, queen!
Be all in with your kids
Phones away. Be in that world of pretend castles and dragon adventures. Listen to those giggles, those stories, those little things that mean everything.
Now, pressing pause doesn’t mean putting your dreams on hold. It’s about embracing the journey with intention. It’s about quality, not always quantity. Give yourself that gift of slow, and you’ll be dazzled by how much more radiant life, motherhood, and YOU become.
