Finding time in the chaos

Finding time in the ✨chaos✨

As a mama, I often put myself last.

(Pretty sure other mamas can relate to this)

We tend to the needs of everyone else, and when it is finally time to tend to our own personal needs- we are exhausted so it kind of just gets pushed to the back burner.

Everyone knows, a tired mama is a grumpy mama.

So I needed change.

As a Christian mama it is hard to find time to get in Gods

Word with the chaos surrounding me. I know sitting in Gods presence is the only way I can get fuel. So that meant sacrifice.

I now wake up at 5 am daily before kids are up to pump and read my word. Making this little change has made my days so much more peaceful.

... Read moreFinding peace in the hectic life of motherhood is a common challenge for many moms, especially those balancing spiritual needs with daily responsibilities. Establishing a morning routine can be instrumental in carving out personal time and creating a sense of calm before the day's chaos begins. For Christian mamas, prioritizing spiritual growth through dedicated time in prayer and scripture can provide much-needed strength and guidance. Morning routines not only enhance mood and peace but also empower mothers to start their day with intention. Studies suggest that waking up just an hour earlier can improve productivity and mental clarity. This practice allows for uninterrupted moments of self-reflection and connection with God. Engaging in activities such as reading, journaling, or meditating can help in cultivating mindfulness and setting positive intentions for the day ahead. It's also vital to share these practices with fellow moms, potentially creating a support network that encourages everyone to prioritize self-care. Adapting these habits can take time, so starting small is key. Whether it's five or ten minutes initially, gradually increasing this personal time will help integrate it as a non-negotiable part of daily life. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish; it equips you to better serve your family and community.
