Busy seasons don't have to be something we merely survive and endure – they can be transformed into periods of growth, connection, and unexpected joy with the right mindset shifts.

• Acknowledge that busy times are just a season and won't last forever
• Recognize that these chaotic years with children will later be remembered as precious times of closeness
• Practice "microdosing" self-care by finding fulfillment in smaller moments rather than waiting for perfect conditions
• Use drive time with kids as valuable connection opportunities rather than viewing it as a chore
• Give yourself grace by adjusting your standards and focusing on what truly matters to your family
• Choose which aspects of life deserve your energy during busy periods
• Consider joining activities yourself rather than just facilitating everyone else's experiences
