January 1st: A Rebirth, Not a Resolution

Reigniting the Badass Mama Within

January 1st carries a particular kind of energy.

Not loud. Not frantic. Quiet. Potent. Possibility-filled.

It’s a threshold day, the moment we step out of what was and into what could be. And for moms, especially those who’ve spent the last year giving, holding, managing, and surviving, this day isn’t about “fixing” ourselves.

It’s about rebirth.

Not becoming someone new, but remembering who you are beneath the layers.

This Is Not a Resolution Season

If you’re tired of resolutions that demand more discipline, more restriction, more pressure, this is your permission slip to do things differently.

You don’t need:

• A perfect routine

• An extreme workout plan

• A “bounce back” mentality

• A version of yourself that ignores exhaustion, hormones, or mental load

What you do need is reignition.

A quiet, grounded spark that says:

"I’m still here. I’m strong. And I get to rebuild on my terms."

Being a Badass Mama isn’t about intensity. It’s about resilience, adaptability, and self-trust.

Rebirth Starts in the Body

Motherhood often pulls us out of our bodies. We live in our heads: planning, worrying, anticipating needs. January is a beautiful time to gently come back home.

Movement doesn’t have to be long or punishing to be powerful. Ten intentional minutes can shift your nervous system, your confidence, and your mindset.

Below is a 10-minute bodyweight flow designed to:

• Wake up major muscle groups

• Reignite confidence

• Feel strong without depletion

• Fit into real mom life

10-Minute Badass Mama Bodyweight Flow

No equipment. Barefoot if possible. Breathe slowly and deeply.

1. Grounded Squat + Reach (2 minutes)

• Feet slightly wider than hips

• Sink into a squat, reach arms overhead as you stand

• Exhale as you sit back down

Why: Reconnects lower body strength with breath and posture.

Mantra: I am grounded. I am capable.

2. Reverse Lunge + Knee Drive (2 minutes)

• Step one foot back into a lunge

• Drive knee forward as you stand

• Alternate sides

Why: Builds stability, balance, and confidence.

Mantra: I move forward with intention.

3. Incline Push-Up or Wall Push-Up (1.5 minutes)

• Hands on counter, wall, or floor

• Slow lower, strong press up

Why: Upper body strength without strain.

Mantra: I am stronger than I think.

4. Glute Bridge Hold + Pulses (1.5 minutes)

• On your back, feet planted

• Lift hips, hold for 20 seconds

• Add small pulses

Why: Rebuilds posterior chain and pelvic support.

Mantra: I rebuild from the foundation up.

5. Standing Power March (1.5 minutes)

• Drive arms and knees deliberately

• Stay tall through the spine

Why: Reignites energy and coordination.

Mantra: I carry strength into my day.

6. Wide Stance Forward Fold (1.5 minutes)

• Feet wide, hinge at hips

• Let head and arms hang

Why: Releases tension and resets nervous system.

Mantra: I release what I no longer need.

That’s it. Ten minutes. No perfection required.

Strength Without Burnout Is Still Strength

This is your reminder that:

• Consistency beats intensity

• Listening to your body is powerful

• You don’t have to earn rest

• Strength can feel calm

A Badass Mama doesn’t ignore her limits, she respects them.

Resetting the Nervous System: A Quick Relaxation Flow

Rebirth doesn’t just happen through effort. It happens through rest.

If your nervous system is constantly “on,” healing, fat loss, strength gains, and emotional regulation all suffer. Ending your day (or even your workout) with intentional downregulation is a form of self-respect.

Here’s a 5-minute relaxation flow you can do on the floor, couch, or bed.

5-Minute Mama Reset & Relaxation Flow

1. Seated Neck Release (1 minute)

• Slow circles or gentle side stretches

• Inhale through the nose, exhale long

Cue: I soften.

2. Child’s Pose or Knees-to-Chest (2 minutes)

• Arms relaxed

• Belly breathing

Cue: I am safe to rest.

3. Supine Spinal Twist (1 minute per side)

• Knees fall gently to one side

• Arms open

Cue: I let the day go.

4. Hand-on-Heart Breathing (1 minute)

• One hand on chest, one on belly

• Slow inhale, longer exhale

Cue: I am enough, exactly as I am.

Rebirth Is a Process, Not a Performance

January 1st doesn’t demand reinvention. It invites reconnection.

You are not behind.

You are not broken.

You are not “starting over.”

You are rebuilding with wisdom.
