The 3-Deep-Breath Reset

Ground Yourself (5 seconds):
Place your feet flat on the ground and feel the connection. Put one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.

  1. Breathe In Calm (10 seconds):
    Take three deep breaths:
  2. Name One Good Thing (5 seconds):
    Say out loud or in your mind one small thing you’re grateful for, like a smile from your child, warm coffee, or a quiet moment.
  3. Anchor Your Intention (5 seconds):
    Say to yourself:
    "I am capable. I am calm. I will take one step at a time."

This 25-second ritual can be done anywhere to help you pause, reset, and feel more grounded amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

The Gentle Pause

  1. Place Your Hands on Your Heart (5 seconds):
    Sit or stand still and gently rest both hands over your heart. Close your eyes if it feels right.
  2. Take a Deep Breath (5 seconds):
    Inhale deeply through your nose, imagining warmth and kindness filling your chest. Exhale slowly, letting go of self-criticism or judgment.
  3. Speak Kind Words to Yourself (10 seconds):
    Whisper or think a kind affirmation.
  4. Smile Softly (5 seconds):
    Allow a small smile to grace your face, not out of force but as an act of gentle self-acceptance.

In just 25 seconds, this ritual can create a moment of kindness and compassion to carry you through your day.

Moments of Grace: A 4-Minute Gratitude Ritual

1. Ground Yourself (30 seconds)
Take three deep breaths to center yourself. Be intentional with the breath as you breathe in and out.
2. Reflect and Write (2 minutes)
Scribble down 3 things you're grateful for today.
Keep it simple—focus on small moments like a smile from your child, a quiet moment with coffee, or a kind gesture. Write one sentence about why each thing matters to you.
3. Set a Positive Intention
(1 minute)
End by writing a quick affirmation or intention, like:
“Today, I will embrace the chaos with patience and joy.”
Or “I am grateful for the love and strength in my life.”
4. Close the Ritual (30 seconds)
Smile to yourself, take another deep breath, and carry that gratitude into your day.

You can do this in your Mantras & Musing Gratitude journal or a notes app on your phone, or even mentally while sipping tea or breastfeeding!

What a thoughtful and wholesome concept!

Unboxing the wellness gift felt like a warm hug when needed most, admittedly made me quite teary. It's equipped with tools that definitely eased my transition into motherhood and made me feel special. I'd definitely recommend this nourishing hamper to all the new and experienced mums out there.

A reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things

I've now received 3 boxes from For the Love of Mum and each time it surprises me how special it feels to receive them! In a busy mum world where it's so easy to overlook ourselves, the beautifully curated boxes remind me that's it's OK to slow down and enjoy some downtime. From a luxurious bath soak, to cool coffee cup, to inspirational books and relaxation sprays, Alison outdoes herself with each box. The guided instructions and links to meditations and yoga make it even easier to put aside even a few moments of peace. Thankyou for making me feel special with each delivery!
