One hour a day, Mom's time
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Not staying as a mother or a wife How to live as a 'whole me' Words like 'single parenting', 'parenting war', and 'combat parenting' are widely used to express the difficulties of parenting. Isn't this a statement that speaks to the feelings of mothers who find raising children difficult? The moment I give birth and become a mother, the 'me' who used to spend my time as I pleased disappears, and only the 'mother' who only looks after her child remains. Mothers are so busy caring for their children and families that they can't even get 10 minutes of full rest a day. Then, eventually, you become exhausted and tired, and without realizing it, you get angry at your child, and at night, when your child falls asleep, you reflect and blame yourself, falling into a vicious cycle of 'daytime and nighttime'. This book says that the cause of this parenting stress is the lack of 'my own time'. So the solution is to spend just 'one hour a day' on yourself. Some mothers may wonder if it is possible to take an hour for themselves when they are busy taking care of a child who needs their hands on everything all day, and may worry that it might be selfish. However, according to the unanimous opinion of mothers who first read this book and put it into practice, if you spend an hour a day on yourself, you will recharge your energy during that time, allowing you to parent more enjoyably and energetically during the remaining time. |

Into the book
Prologue (page 18)
Now, I am cultivating my life as a mother of a seven-year-old child, a one-woman CEO, a coach who awakens women's existence through writing and lectures, and above all, as a person who deeply trusts and loves herself.
The beginning of that huge change was simple.
One hour a day, completely dedicated to myself.
I wrote this book to share that journey with mothers.
In this book, I would like to present a new model of ‘living as a mother.’
I want to guide you on how to live as a complete self even between various roles.
Parenting is not a war.
War is about fighting enemies, but in parenting there are no enemies to fight.
Nevertheless, the reason many mothers say that 'parenting is like a war' is because the reality of mothers raising children is so harsh.
Mothers who fight with sharp spears against their children and husbands in exhaustion, and blame themselves at night.
The way to end that war is to take care of yourself and love yourself.
Chapter 1: A Society That Encourages Solo Parenting (pp. 47-48)
Solo parenting, military parenting, extreme parenting, combat parenting… .
Mothers are crying out that it is difficult, using harsh words.
People who haven't personally experienced the emotional and environmental situations faced by mothers these days often label them as "weak," "selfish," or "lacking maternal skills."
There are many mothers who say that the label makes it harder for them.
(...) The term 'single parenting' contains the loneliness of mothers.
Mothers who struggle with their children all day long without anyone to meet or meet, mothers who have a hard time making a single friend even when they go to the playground in front of their house, mothers who have a hard time getting complete understanding and empathy from their family, even their husbands, have expressed their loneliness in the word 'solo parenting.'
Chapter 2: Bubbling Today, Finding the Cause of Emotions (pp. 87-88)
The reason I get so upset every time I see my husband engrossed in TV on the weekends isn't because he's lazy.
This is because they want someone to help them with housework and childcare, or they need someone to have everyday conversations with.
The reason you get angry at your child for wanting to play more at 10 p.m. is not because you won't let him turn off the lights, but because you're angry at him for wanting to play all day.
Because I want to give my body a rest after working hard.
It is not because I am a poor mother or a weak person that I feel suffocated and lonely while raising children and doing housework.
Because I need fun, time for myself, and a friend to share my heart with.
(...) If we use our emotions as our navigator to discover and fulfill our desires and expectations, we will get closer to happiness.
It is a beautiful thing to recognize and fulfill your own desires and expectations.
My aspirations and expectations are something only I can perceive and fulfill.
If I don't protect my aspirations and expectations, who will?
Chapter 3: Tomorrow's Work for Tomorrow, Pruning Time (pp. 122-123)
Cutting branches with a saw and pruning them with scissors is not an easy task.
As the branches are cut off one by one, the soft, bare skin is exposed and it hurts.
But if you don't prune the branches out of fear of the wound, the entire tree won't grow.
When cutting, cut closely so that the stem does not come out again, and after cutting, cut the stem
To prevent germs from entering, you need to apply a topical treatment and protective agent to the affected area.
People are like trees.
People who have a lot to do cannot focus on important things.
We can't protect our precious time amidst the demands and pressures from outside, the high standards we set for ourselves, and the people and work that drain our energy.
So let's cut out all the little things.
A distracting request
Let's reject them all.
Concentration necessarily involves the choice to let go of something.
To protect what is precious, you need to have the courage to let go of what is less precious.
Chapter 4: A Letter Written at the Last Minute (pp. 186-187)
In workshops with mothers, we often ask them to write epitaphs.
When asked to write what would be written on her tombstone if her life ended now, one mother wrote:
'Good daughter, foolish son.
I wanted to live a little more stylishly.
I wanted to live my life freely.'
I felt regret.
She said that since her school days, she had been responsible for supporting herself and had hardly ever been able to do what she wanted to do.
The next time she wrote her last letter, after a year of designing, she rewrote her epitaph, which read:
'I did what I wanted to do and it was better than I expected.'
She read this sentence with tears in her eyes.
The desires she had suppressed for so long shook her, and she was saying to herself, 'It's okay to live for myself.'
Chapter 5: Small Luxuries for Small Amounts (p. 223)
We are not happy not because we do not have money, but because we do not take care of our own happiness.
Now let's treat myself to a little luxury.
Let's buy things that we wanted to buy but couldn't because we were busy buying things for our children or saving up for living expenses.
A flowing skirt, a lipstick that matches the season, a CD of your favorite singer…
Either is fine.
You can feel a slight sense of happiness by spending around 30,000 won.
They say, 'If the mother (primary caregiver) is happy, the child will be happy.'
This does not mean that the mother is responsible for the child's happiness.
It means that you should not sacrifice your own happiness for the happiness of your child.
Happiness is easily contagious.
If the mother is happy, the child is more likely to feel happy too.
Chapter 5: Finding Your Exciting Work (pp. 255-256)
The school that Mihye chose was a conservatory (a music school with a focus on practical training) at a university located in Seoul.
It was a place where you didn't need to take the college entrance exam, you could focus on your major and only pay tuition equivalent to the number of subjects you took, and still get a four-year university degree.
(...) Twenty-year-old students would want to date and have fun, but for her, there were only two things to do: raising children and playing the piano.
The fear I had before starting has now disappeared.
It wasn't 'what at this age~'.
Since we are only a third of the way into the 100-year lifespan, I feel confident that I can take on any challenge.
The amazing thing is that the moment I decided to start studying piano again, the anger I had towards my child disappeared dramatically.
As the child was adjusting to institutional life for the first time in his life, he would often throw tantrums after coming home from daycare. However, his mother, anxious about her own future, would often fight back against his tantrums rather than accept them.
But that's not the case anymore.
Since I got to do what I liked, my time with my child was just enjoyable.
Now, I am cultivating my life as a mother of a seven-year-old child, a one-woman CEO, a coach who awakens women's existence through writing and lectures, and above all, as a person who deeply trusts and loves herself.

Publisher's Review
Kim Ji-hye, a professional coach for new moms, shares her thoughts.
Self-coaching methods to protect myself
Author Kim Ji-hye had a difficult time conceiving a child after much effort.
Because the child I had waited so long for was so precious, I lived only looking after the child, obsessed with being a 'good mother' like most mothers.
But as the child grows up and takes a breather, he begins to feel like he has lost himself.
Feeling the need for a change, the author decided to devote just one hour a day to himself, and from then on, he experienced amazing changes.
Taking the time to care for my body and mind recharged my energy, allowing me to better care for my family and, more importantly, to find and pursue the things I love to do.
Based on the personal time accumulated in this way, the author is currently working as a 'new mother specialist coach' to help new mothers who are struggling to maintain a balance between life and childcare.
How do you make time for yourself when you're so busy, and what should you do with that time? The author uses her own experience as well as that of many other mothers to guide you through everything from how to make time for yourself as a mother to how to use it wisely.
Let's embark on an hour of miracle together under the author's friendly guidance.
Mothers will be able to cherish their own emotions and needs during their time alone, and further prepare for and embark on a new journey in their lives.
◆ Features of this book ◆
★ A senior mother's honest experience
The author, who was enjoying her work and growing her expertise, prepared for pregnancy and became a mother. She devoted herself to raising her child for a year in order to become the perfect mother. However, she experienced a break in her career, a break in her relationships, and a loss of her identity, and started working again.
The first step is to have ‘one hour a day, my own time.’
The author says that although it is only an hour a day, the accumulated time has made him who he is today.
Of course, the process was not easy, but he says that it was 'one hour a day, my own time' that helped him overcome those many difficulties.
This book contains the author's experiences as a new mother raising children and starting work again.

No matter how realistic the advice is, it tends to be forgotten and lose its practicality after a certain amount of time.
But once you start reading this book, you'll find yourself putting it into practice! The author's advice is immediately followed by a "self-coaching" section.
The author, using his profession as a coach, included self-coaching tips at each section that mothers can easily follow by reading the book.

You will also be able to create and manage one hour a day efficiently, discover your dreams, and take the first step towards them.

◆ A word from mothers who have read this book in advance ◆
As recommended in the book, I started activities I always wanted to do, such as a reading club and a citizen reporter group.
After that, every day became exciting.
Although there are many days when my house is a mess, there are more days when flowers bloom in my heart.
The second child's crying has become soothing, and the first child says that his mother has become prettier.
Although I am far from a 'perfect' mother, I think that children can grow up to be strong and independent by seeing their mothers enjoying their daily lives.
- Moon Jin-young (Eun-jae and Min-jae's mother)
I wish I had encountered this book earlier, which encourages and pushes mothers who are diving into the rough waves of parenting, and tells them to look far ahead.
For me, who still can't seem to get used to the role of a mother even after several years, I'm drawing a life curve as this book suggests and writing a diary for the next year.
- Woo Bo-hyun (Su-jeong's mother)
I was impressed and sympathized with the words that the way to end 'war-like parenting' is none other than taking care of and loving oneself.
I acknowledged that I was not born a mother, so I was an awkward parent, and I looked into my heart with the intention of growing up with my child.
I will try to cultivate one hour a day to become another me by getting to know, understanding, and comforting the me inside me.
- Im Ji-jin (Jun-seo, Seo-jeong, and Hyun-seo's mother)
I was worried about how to spend my time from the day my child was confirmed to start daycare, but I didn't know what to do when I came across this book.
From start to finish, it all felt like my story and was exactly the advice I needed.
Now I'm starting to study English again and learning watercolor painting, which I've always been interested in.
She writes letters to people around her and boldly expresses her affection to her mother and husband.
Maybe that's why I feel like I've become a happier, more tolerant and relaxed mom these days.
- Lee Soo-yeon (Eugene's mother)
This book came to me as I was searching for my own time, my lost time as a mother, and planning a future where I could pursue my dreams and raise and educate my children.
I was praised for doing well, comforted for having done well, and encouraged for doing even better in the future.
I hope that others will also receive coaching on their time as mothers through this book.
- Lee Yeon-gon (Su-min's mother)
Reading this book reminded me of myself in my twenties, when I had so many things I wanted to do.
And I hope that the image of that girl with many dreams will become the image of my child's future, and I am making a bucket list with my child.
I hope this book, which gave me the opportunity to remodel my happiness in just one hour a day, will sow the seeds of courage in the hearts of all mothers.
- Lee Hee-joo (Min-jae's mother)
Every day as a working mom is tough, but I'm happy that I can have some time for myself during my commute and lunch break.
Although it was a short time, I was filled with energy, and with that energy, I gave my child an hour that was more precious than ten hours.
While reading this book, I felt relieved and thought, 'I'm not the only one living like this. Thank goodness.' I also realized that I absolutely must make time for myself, not just for myself, but for my children and my family.
- Jeong Ji-yoon (Tofu Mom)

She writes letters to people around her and boldly expresses her affection to her mother and husband.
Maybe that's why I feel like I've become a happier, more tolerant and relaxed mom these days.
- Lee Soo-yeon (Eugene's mother)
This book came to me as I was searching for my own time, my lost time as a mother, and planning a future where I could pursue my dreams and raise and educate my children.
I was praised for doing well, comforted for having done well, and encouraged for doing even better in the future.
I hope that others will also receive coaching on their time as mothers through this book.
- Lee Yeon-gon (Su-min's mother)
Reading this book reminded me of myself in my twenties, when I had so many things I wanted to do.
And I hope that the image of that girl with many dreams will become the image of my child's future, and I am making a bucket list with my child.
I hope this book, which gave me the opportunity to remodel my happiness in just one hour a day, will sow the seeds of courage in the hearts of all mothers.
- Lee Hee-joo (Min-jae's mother)
Every day as a working mom is tough, but I'm happy that I can have some time for myself during my commute and lunch break.
Although it was a short time, I was filled with energy, and with that energy, I gave my child an hour that was more precious than ten hours.
While reading this book, I felt relieved and thought, 'I'm not the only one living like this. Thank goodness.' I also realized that I absolutely must make time for myself, not just for myself, but for my children and my family.
- Jeong Ji-yoon (Tofu Mom)
