Embrace Micro-Moments of Self-Care:
Every mom knows that finding large chunks of time for self-care can be challenging. Instead, focus on embracing micro-moments of self-care throughout the day. For example, take five minutes to sit outside in the sun and enjoy a cup of your favorite herbal tea, or simply take a few deep breaths to relax your mind. These small but meaningful moments can add up, making a big difference in your overall wellbeing.
Nurture a Hobby or Passion:
As moms, we often prioritize our children’s hobbies over our own. This summer, make a conscious effort to nurture your own interests. It could be anything from painting, gardening, dancing, or writing. Find what makes your heart happy and dedicate some time to it regularly. Engaging in a hobby can be therapeutic, giving you the mental space needed to handle the challenges of work and parenting.
Disconnect and Reconnect:
In today’s digital age, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by constant notifications and emails, both from work and social media. Implement a daily “tech-free” time when you disconnect from screens and reconnect with your family. Whether it’s a family game night, a nature walk, or simply sharing stories during dinner, these moments foster deeper connections and give your mind a break from digital stressors
Allow Yourself to Have Fun and Be childlike
Take a cue from your kids and let go of your worries for a little while. Join them in their playful games, pet a capybara with the biggest, most ridiculous smile on your face or simply enjoy a day of carefree laughter. Embracing your childlike spirit not only creates beautiful memories with your little ones but also helps you recharge and rediscover the simple joys in life. So, go ahead and sprinkle a little pixie dust of fun into your summer, and watch how it lifts your spirits and rejuvenates your soul.

Our kids thrive when we do. They feel more joy when we do too.
Now, I encourage you to take action today. Embrace micro-moments of self-care, nurture your passions, and disconnect to reconnect with your family. These small but impactful steps will not only enrich your summer but will pave the way for a more balanced and fulfilling life as a mom.
Have a wonderful summer ☀️
