The 10-Minute Rule That Changed Everything
Liza was overwhelmed, exhausted, and drowning in guilt. She worked full-time, had two kids under five, and felt like she was failing at everything. By the time she got home, she had just enough energy to throw together dinner and scroll through social media, feeling worse every minute. She wanted to be present with her kids—but every night, she collapsed on the couch instead. One day, she saw a post about the 10-Minute Rule: If something feels too overwhelming, commit to just 10 minutes. That night, instead of scrolling, Lisa told herself, I’ll play for just 10 minutes before bedtime. She built a tower with her toddler. She laughed as her daughter made silly faces. And when the 10 minutes were up? She stayed longer. She realized she didn’t have to do it all to be a good mom—she just needed to show up a little bit at a time. A week later, those 10 minutes became a nightly habit. Her kids noticed. Her guilt started fading. And her energy? It actually increased because she was filling her own cup in ways she hadn’t before. She didn’t need a huge life overhaul—just small, consistent moments of connection. Moms, you don’t need more time—you need to make the time you have count. Start with 10 minutes. ❤️ Are you struggling to take even 10 minutes? Comment 😑 and I'll reach out with some ideas for you.
