Finding Calm in the Chaos: Simple Mindfulness Practices for Busy Mums
Before becoming a mum, I had all the time in the world to focus on my wellbeing. I meditated daily, journaled, drew, and went on long walks to clear my mind. Self-care was a natural part of my routine. But when I became a solo parent, everything changed.
Suddenly, I had a tiny human who needed me 24/7, and even basic things—like drinking a cup of tea while it was still hot or going to the bathroom alone—became a luxury. I found myself constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, and craving just a moment of stillness.
I knew I needed to find a new way to bring calm into my life—something simple, realistic, and achievable in the midst of the chaos. That’s why I created Mindful Moments: A Busy Mum’s Guide to Finding Calm.
This eBook is packed with short, effective mindfulness practices that fit into a busy mum’s life. The best part? They don’t require hours of your time—just a few minutes here and there to reset and reconnect with yourself.
A Sneak Peek at Some Simple Mindfulness Practices
Here are a few easy practices from the guide that have helped me find calm amidst the busyness of motherhood:
🌿 Box Breathing – A quick and powerful way to calm your nervous system. Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold again for 4. Repeat for a minute or two whenever you feel stressed.
🌿 The Five Senses Reset – A simple grounding exercise:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
This technique instantly brings you back to the present moment.
🌿 Dance It Out – Feeling overwhelmed? Put on your favourite song and dance for a few minutes. It’s amazing how movement can shift your energy!
These are just a few of the practices inside Mindful Moments. If you’re a busy mum struggling to find time for yourself, I promise—just a few mindful moments a day can make a huge difference.
