At Find the Joy, I believe joy doesn’t wait for perfect moments — it lives in your everyday life when you choose to notice it. One of the most powerful choices you can make as a mum is this:
Finding time for you isn’t optional — it’s essential.
This idea is at the heart of our Find Time for You pillars — and wonderfully echoed in the FitOn article “A Letter to All Moms: It’s Ok To Take Time For You” which reminds mums everywhere that taking time for yourself isn’t selfish — it’s restorative and necessary.

What “Find Time for You” Really Means
If you’ve ever thought:
“I’ll take time for myself when things get quieter…”
that’s a feeling many of us share.
But here’s the truth we explore in our Find Time for You pillars:
There is no perfect “later.”
There’s only now — and the intentional spaces you choose to create within your busy day.
That’s why finding time for you isn’t about adding more hours to your schedule. It’s about noticing the pockets of possibility already there — a few minutes before everyone wakes up, a short walk between chores, or simply sipping a warm drink while it’s still hot.
The FitOn article beautifully reinforces this point, encouraging mums to start small and notice how even brief moments of self-care can uplift your mood, soothe your mind, and help you show up more fully in your life and relationships.
Small Moments Have Big Power
In Find Time for You, we share simple, doable ideas like:
✨ Noticing your breath before the day begins
✨ Gentle movement or a quick stretch
✨ Quiet moments of stillness with your favourite drink
These aren’t big life changes — they’re tiny choices that help you reconnect with yourself so joy becomes easier to find.
And that’s exactly what the FitOn message affirms: self-care isn’t self-ish — it’s nurturing your ability to be present, calm, and connected.
You Don’t Need Permission — But Here It Is
🌸 You are allowed to take time for yourself — without guilt.
🌸 You are allowed to breathe.
🌸 You are allowed to slow down and be present.
Because finding time for you is how you create space for joy — not someplace you get to when life slows down, but right here, right now, within the life you’re living.
So today, consider this your gentle reminder:
💛 You deserve those moments just for you
💛 Intentional time fuels joy
💛 Small choices add up to big impact
When you Find the Joy, remember joy isn’t found when everything changes — joy is found when you take time to notice!
