Hey guys.
Quick message from.
.
.
A mindful mom.
Or I guess just.
.
.
A meditation.
Guide.
Who's also a mom,
Who really works to incorporate mindfulness into.
All parts of life,
But especially parenting.
Got a confession to make or.
.
.
Maybe just.
.
.
Some wisdom to share,
Just some thoughts to share.
I need you all to know.
That even someone who is a meditation guide,
Someone who spends a large portion of my day meditating,
Creating meditations,
Speaking about the importance of mindfulness.
It's still really hard to be mindful while parenting.
I was reflecting on this the other day about how I never want it to feel like.
Being mindful is this magic potion or just being more in tune with your body is going to make the parenting journey perfect because we know it's not perfect and we know there's nothing that can make it.
100% easy,
100% of the time.
But what being mindful does.
.
.
Is allows you to catch yourself in those hard moments.
And consider.
Do I want to be responding to this differently?
Do I want to be?
Creating a different energy in this space,
In this moment.
And a lot of the times,
Like sometimes I still catch myself asking myself that and still struggle to make that shift.
So what mindfulness also does is allows us to reflect on.
The experience.
And make amends if necessary,
Apologize if necessary,
Go back to our children and talk through that experience and explain our humanness as parents,
And also why and how that happened and how I and we as parents want to show up the next time we're in a similar situation.
So just know if you're a parent and you're working to practice mindfulness,
You're meditating regularly,
You think you're doing.
And maybe you are doing all that you can internally to shift and transition to be the best parent you can be.
For your child.
You're still going to have hard moments.
This is not a magic pill,
But it does make the journey so much sweeter.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Keep it up.
You got this.
