Mornings can be tough, especially when you’re a busy mum juggling so much. Waking up tired and overwhelmed is common because your mind is already racing with everything you need to do. The pressure to get everyone ready, prepare meals, and start the day “right” can feel heavy before your feet even touch the floor.
If your mornings start with frustration, rushing, or feeling disorganised, your routine might be working against you. Notice if you’re skipping breakfast, forgetting important tasks, or feeling overwhelmed before the day begins. These are signs your current routine might be too rigid or unrealistic for your busy life.
The idea of a perfect morning routine is appealing but often unattainable. Life with children is unpredictable. What works one day might not the next. Trying to force a strict routine can add pressure and leave you feeling like you’ve failed when things don’t go as planned.
Instead of aiming for perfection, try a gentler approach. Focus on small, calming habits that help you feel grounded. This could be a few deep breaths, a moment of quiet, or simply sipping your coffee mindfully. Allow yourself flexibility and kindness it’s okay if things don’t go perfectly.
