3 Tips for Super Busy Working Mums

You're booked up, months in advance, your diary looks like an explosion of scribbles and post-its and you can't remember the last time you digested your food, let alone put your feet up!

You probably feel you have little choice as being super busy is part of a working Mum's Job description.  There are however some opportunities for some breathing space which will have a positive impact on your sense of well being and a ripple effect on the well being of your family...

1.  Let nature and beauty inspire you

Allow your child's smile, the sunset, flowing water, the skyline or whatever is beautiful to you to catch your eye.  Notice the details, breathe in the experience and let it remind you of the world beyond your to do list.  Allow this beauty to bring you into the present moment and, as you breathe out, let go of all that's beyond your control and influence.


Practice these moments of mindfulness during your day and, increase them as you can.

2.  Take Care

No doubt you are often taking care of everyone else but this is about taking care of you!  It is not selfish to take care of yourself, it is essential if you are going to be giving your wonderful energy to others.  Giving on empty isn't fun for anyone.  So plan your healthy meals, take naps and make the most of whatever moments you can to nurture yourself. 

3.  Ask for help

Quite often it is our competence that has led to our busyness and we can be reluctant to delegate.  Rather than putting our attention on the task and it's result, by considering the experience we give to others and ourselves, we can see the value of involving friends, family and colleagues.  People like to help and, by involving them, we share our knowledge and learn to accept other approaches and methods.
