If You Don’t Plan Time for You, It Disappears

So claim it back in just three minutes

Last night, in a F*** Mum Guilt Zoom room, something shifted.

Shoulders dropped. Breaths slowed. Ideas germinated. Because we stopped long enough to remember ourselves.

Most of us are so used to pushing through, running pretty darn well on empty, that even pausing can feel uncomfortable. Like we haven’t earned it yet.

I shared the simple framework I use to ensure I claim some of the time and space in my life for myself. It works for me as an overstimulated triplet mum, and it will work for you too.

Because here’s the thing. If you don’t proactively prioritise and plan time for yourself, there’s a landgrab from all angles, Mama. And somehow, you’re always the one left with nothing.

I didn’t want you to miss out, so here’s the framework, along with a powerful 3-minute meditation that will reconnect you with all the things that used to fill your cup, bring your joy and make you smile.

Trust me, these 3 minutes will start you on a path to a happier 2026.

Give yourself permission

To stop for three whole minutes. Sit down, close your eyes, listen, and then grab a pen and paper. Write down whatever comes up. Honestly, you might be surprised by what pops up straight from your soul.

I specifically wanted you to think about:

• an activity you used to do in your alone time, because this is often the easiest place to start

• something you used to do to show your body some love, because it absolutely deserves it

• people, because if I’m honest, motherhood has been the loneliest part of my life

We then chose just one thing that we wanted to bring back.

Making it happen

Then, before all the mum guilt-inner-critic coalition could pipe up to thwart us, we got real. We committed to a concrete step we could take. Some of us started researching trips we could take child-free. I found a local writing group I’m committing to go to monthly. We got things moving.

Comment below and let us know what came up for you.

The whole FMG community is rooting for you. I’ve definitely got my pom-poms out and am bringing full Gwen Stefani Hollaback vibes.
