Self-Care Habits for Busy Moms
Self-Care Habits for Busy Moms
11 May 2025

Real self-care isn’t about bubble baths. It’s about doing the things that protect your peace and your family. If you’re a mom, you know what it means to put everyone else first.

Your to-do list never ends, and somewhere between school runs, supper plans, and work deadlines, you’re told to carve out time for “self-care” so you don’t burn out. If taking care of yourself feels like just another item on the list, you’re not alone. The good news? It doesn’t have to be complicated – and we’ve got simple ideas that actually work.

Small Habits, Big Wins

Self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a mix of small habits that help you feel good - physically and mentally. To find what works for you, jot down a few things you could enjoy doing for just 15 minutes a day. (Yes, every day, because habits need consistency to stick.)

Maybe it’s a daily walk around the block, a quick online workout, or simply stretching in your lounge. There are plenty of free classes on YouTube, so you don’t even need to leave the house. Try different things until something clicks – or just mix it up to keep things interesting.

Mental self-care matters just as much. Whether it’s journalling, catching up with a friend, listening to your favourite podcast, or zoning out with a game of sudoku, the goal is to create a small but meaningful mental break. One you treat as non-negotiable, like brushing your kids’ teeth.

The Self-Care Nobody Talks About

There’s another kind of self-care that doesn’t get enough airtime - future planning. It might not feel as satisfying as a 15-minute nap, but checking in on your finances, updating your will or making sure you have life insurance in place is one of the most powerful ways to protect your peace.

Because when you handle the admin no one likes to think about, you create a sense of calm, not just for you, but also the people who rely on you, and that’s real peace of mind!

 

Get Real Peace Of Mind With MiWayLife

At MiWayLife, we believe busy moms deserve more. That’s why our 4-in-1 life insurance policy goes beyond a lump sum payout. Your cover grows by 5% each year, includes a Funeral Benefit that pays out fast - within 48 hours - and lets you cover your partner, children, parents, and even extended family under a single premium.

Plus, you’ll also have access to our Terminal Illness Benefit, which allows you to claim 50% or 100% of your cover while you’re still alive if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Real Self-Care Starts With Financial Planning

When you’re constantly giving, taking time to fill your own cup matters more than ever. Still, self-care doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to support your well-being and protect your peace. Whether that’s a morning walk, a catch-up with a friend or taking the steps to ensure your family’s financial future is secure, you’re doing it right.
