08 | 4 Ways to Find 30 Minutes to Rest When You’re Overcommitted

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you 4 ways to find 30 minutes to rest when you’re overcommitted. How to find small pockets of rest in really busy seasons when you are operating at max capacity, how to figure out what makes you feel truly rested, and some ideas of what specifically to do with this time. Rest is one of the things that seems so unattainable and hard to implement in a season of little kids and so much going on, but rest truly is both a commandment and a gift. One of the most common things I hear is that moms of littles don’t know HOW to get done what needs to get done and somehow still find time to actually rest, there just isn’t enough time in the day, so we’re going to talk about specifically how to find those small pockets THIS WEEK that will make a huge impact for you. Rest as a busy mom is HARD. Trust me, you are not the only one struggling to implement rest and constantly feeling like you are pouring from an empty (sometimes feels like bone dry empty, no liquid left) cup. I hear moms say all the time that it just feels like a never-ending battle…either you choose to get done what needs to get done or you choose to rest, but the balance of staying on top of what needs to be done around the house, managing your family’s schedule, taking care of the kids, plus a side biz or passion on the side that needs regular attention also and suddenly, every single day you’re coming to the end of the day realizing that you didn’t take even 15-30 minutes to just chill, rest, recoup, BREATHE the entire day.  I get it and I have been there. If you are in a season right now where you can feel deep in your bones that you are being pushed past your capacity and you just sort of feel like you’re teetering a little bit trying to manage it all, you know you may have overcommitted a bit (not intentionally, but now you’re realizing it just feels like a little too much), but yet, you’re in it now and it’s going to be really busy for the next little bit…HOW can you find small pockets of time to rest and not absolutely lose your mind trying to push through this season? This episode is for you, my friend, I’m so glad you’re here. We’re going to dive into how to actually help you get a few minutes of rest throughout your week, even in the midst of SUCH a busy season right now. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

***TOP 1% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST *** The Go-To Podcast for Busy, Christian Moms Who Want to Get More Done and Still Be Present With Their Family! Are you constantly trying out new daily routines that have you juggling house chores and cramming in work during nap times? Do you feel guilty when your kiddos invite you to play, but by the time you’ve told them ’just a minute,’ ’hang on,’ or ’let me finish this’, the day has slipped away with no intentional focused time together at all? Does your brain feel like it will never just SHUT OFF with your continuously running to-do list? I’m SO excited you’re here!! This podcast will help you create simple systems, daily routines, and time management strategies to feel more productive in your days so you can balance running a home AND being fully present for your kiddos. Hey, I’m KyAnn. A mom, wife, and Jesus lover. For too many years, I let my habits just sort of happen without much intention or thought. I felt constantly behind and I was trying to do it all, but doing NONE of it well. I was chasing business success, achievements, and hustle culture that stole my time and mental health so I didn’t have any extra energy to devote to building intentional habits that kept my priorities in the RIGHT order. I finally realized that if I was going to balance motherhood and homemaking well, I had to find simple routines and systems to serve me in the season I was in. I created daily rhythms for our family that reflected my priorities and helped me tackle my to-do list, all while allowing me to be fully present with my kiddos - simple systems that when practiced well, even allowed extra time to work on my business during the cracks of time during the day. And now I’m ready to share it all with you! If you are ready to finally find a routine that works for you…steps to feel more balanced and less overwhelmed in your days as a busy mom…systems that give you your time back, help you to be more present with the people you love most, and finally get your brain to just RELAX-this podcast is for you! Pop in your single AirPod (mom friends, you know you do this, too!), grab your iced coffee, it’s time to find your rhythm!
