  When the Avalanche Hits: Navigating the Weight of Unfinished Tasks and Exhaustion Some days feel like an avalanche—not just busy, but suffocating. It’s not just the tasks we plan that wear us down, but the ones we didn’t finish, the ones still lingering, growing heavier with every hour. There’s a special kind of frustration that lives in the space between intention and reality. You start the day with a clear list, a goal, a rhythm you want to follow. But life, in all its unpredictability, has other plans. Maybe a child needs more of your attention than usual. Maybe your body sends you a signal that it's just too tired to keep pushing. And suddenly, the day is almost gone, and your list looks more like a weight than a guide. Tiredness settles in, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. You want to push through, but there’s a limit—and reaching it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re human. It means you care enough to try. And that’s something worth honoring, even...

As a mum: How can I set up the right routine. 1. Start With “What Do I Need Daily?” Make a list of the non-negotiables that must happen every day:     Meals -     School runs -  House tasks     Work (if applicable)     Rest time -     Prayer time.     Time with kids     Time for herself     This is the foundation and the layaout of each starting day.  2. Understand the Flow of the Day: Instead of copying someone else’s schedule, look at your family specification via :     When are the kids most active or calm?     When is she most alert?     What time does the house wake up and wind down? The best routine flows with the rhythm of your household, not against it. When you honor that rhythm, your routine becomes both flexible and practical — something that serves you, not stresses you. 3. Break the Day into ...

          Balancing Personal Identity and Motherhood Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it can also bring challenges, especially when it comes to maintaining a sense of personal identity. Many mums find themselves so consumed with their roles as caregivers that they struggle to remember who they were before having children. Balancing personal identity and mum duties is essential for overall well-being and happiness. Here’s how you can navigate this delicate balance. 1. Acknowledge Your Feelings It’s normal to feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself after becoming a mum. Instead of suppressing these feelings, acknowledge them. Accept that your identity is evolving, not disappearing. You are still you —just with new responsibilities and experiences. 2. Set Boundaries for Personal Time Mums often feel guilty for taking time for themselves, but self-care is not selfish—it’s necessary. Set clear boundaries to have moments where you can focus on your passions, wh...

  Overcoming Mom Guilt: Embracing Imperfection in Motherhood Mom guilt is a familiar feeling for many mothers—an internal voice that whispers, "Am I doing enough?" or "Am I a good mom?" This guilt can arise from various sources, such as balancing work and family, taking time for self-care, or even making parenting decisions that differ from societal expectations. While some guilt can be a natural response to wanting the best for your child, excessive mom guilt can be overwhelming and harmful to your mental well-being.         Why Does Mom Guilt Happen? Mom guilt often stems from societal pressures, social media comparisons, and personal expectations.

However, this unrealistic standard can lead to burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. How to Overcome Mom Guilt Recognize Your Efforts :  You are doing your best, and that is enough. Parentin...
