There are days when even the smallest thing — like a snack spilled on the floor or a skipped nap — can push us over the edge. That simmering irritation, often called “mom rage,” is real. And even if you’re not a mom, life’s mental load, stress, and over stimulation can still hit just as hard.

But here’s a truth I keep coming back to:

The greatest gift you can give others is your own happiness.
(Thank you, Abraham Hicks.)

So how do we actually protect our peace, regulate our emotions, and find moments of mental clarity — even on the busiest, messiest days?

Here are a few tools I keep coming back to — simple, doable, and effective.

A Coaching Resource That Helps You Feel Seen

One of my favorite resources is a program called The Calm Mom Playbook by my friend Cassie (@cassiemomcoach). It’s packed with practical strategies to help you respond rather than react, set boundaries, and create a calmer home — starting with yourself.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about support, perspective, and real tools that actually help. If you’re a mom in the thick of it, this is gold.

Grounding Mind-Health Habits That Actually Work

When stress builds up, I like to keep it simple. These quick practices can help re-center your mind and body:

    •    2-Minute Deep Breathing: Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Repeat.
    •    Gratitude Journaling: Write down three things you’re grateful for — no matter how small.
    •    Step Outside: A short walk with no phone can do wonders for your nervous system.
    •    Put on Music You Love: Dance break, anyone?

These moments matter more than we think. They shift our nervous system, mindset, and even how we show up for the people around us.
