Transcript

Welcome to this Working Mama guided meditation.

Whether this is your first day or week back from maternity leave,

Or whether you're five years into this Working Mama gig,

Getting your head in the right place at the beginning of the day can be a struggle.

Use this meditation first thing in the morning when you wake up,

Perhaps after you've locked yourself in the bathroom for a few minutes to shower,

Or as soon as you get to the office and you're alone.

Sit or lay down in a comfortable position.

Allow your eyes to close and your entire body to soften.

Start to take slow,

Deep breaths,

Deep into your belly,

That beautiful belly that birthed life.

Sink into the feeling of stillness and smile at this glorious moment of doing nothing,

Absolutely nothing.

This moment of being alone,

Of doing the most important thing you can do as a human being,

Breathing,

Simply being.

If you find yourself worrying about something,

Or thinking of what you need to do in a few minutes or later today,

Just smile at it.

Tell it you'll be there in a minute or two or three,

And trust that it can wait.

For now,

This moment is for you.

Feel or imagine the sun streaming into the room and its heat on your cheeks.

Imagine the warmth and the soft skin of your little one,

Nozzled up close to you.

Imagine pride swelling in your heart when you make a contribution at work.

Imagine the embrace of your partner on a Friday evening.

Imagine the reassuring sound of your best friend's voice on the phone.

These things are real,

Mama.

They're all real for you.

You haven't simply imagined a world where you have a precious little one,

Meaningful relationships,

And a rewarding career that helps you provide for your beloved family.

You are living it,

Every day,

One baby step at a time.

Sit with that.

Savor that.

Be with that.

Now,

Gift yourself these affirmations.

They're a gift that will allow you to live as the fullest expression of yourself today,

At work,

At home,

And everywhere in between.

Say to yourself,

I am.

I created life.

Each day,

I do the best I can.

I give my all.

I am an amazing parent.

I am an amazing contributor to my work.

I am enough.

Now take another deep breath,

Deep into your belly,

That beautiful belly that birthed life.

And slowly open your eyes to continue your day.

Reviews

Great meditation to embrace my wholeness...and my children are in their twenties!

Even though my daughter is nearly five I have been at this working mom thing for a while, I love this meditation and use if often since I found it a couple of weeks ago. It speaks to me on a very deep level and resonantes with the grattitude within me, that is always there, but sometimes gets a bit buried under the day to day business. I highly recommend this meditation!

For all moms
As an elder mom of grown children I appreciated taking a few extra moments thanks

I am a working mom of adult children plus 2 young pups and this was perfect!! Thank you 🤗

Lovely meditation just for me. Sometimes i need to hear that I’m doing my best everyday. 🙏 thank you

Great way to start the day - with some extra love and tenderness.

Love this meditation from a fellow Mama. It was the affirmation I needed to hear to be able to move forward and face the day. I am constantly exhausted and there's so much work to be done. Thank you for reminding the goodness in me to tread on.

So amazing! Recently, my husband and I had an epiphany that we often accidentally take life and each other as something that will always be there…we take everything for granted. We’ve been spending more time with each other lately, and this meditation was perfect for my life right now. Ahhh, thank you!

Loved it for the working mom who feels behind and overwhelmed. Great reminder! I would love more working mom meditations!

Short and sweet. I love the love to my beautiful belly!

I love this! What a great message to send to Mama's💜I will be sending this to my hard working daughter🙏🏼

This was great 👍 I will be listening to this again for sure

It brought tears to my eyes. I guess I needed those reminders. Thank you.

Love it! I am a mother through adoption after years of infertility and wish that the birth emphasis would include those that also didn’t give birth.

Great meditation, high recommend to all mamas. Very uplifting and supportive words spoken by the teacher

This was lovely. 5 minutes and I was ready to cry, but in a good way lol. Thank you!

Thank you 🙏🏽 🧘🏽. This was good for working mamas with older kids too!

The visualizations really made me smile, and warmed my heart. Powerful reminder and perspective while trying to juggle it all!

Thank you! I LOVED it and feel so more at peace and confident as I’m starting my day.

Thank you for that work reassuring hug of a meditation! Really appreciated the words about my belly, brought tears to my eyes ❤😍🙏🏻
