Sometimes we get wrapped up in trying to create bigger and better experiences for ourselves that we forget to just enjoy the present moment.
The present moment is truly all we’re ever guaranteed, and the more we can appreciate the little things we have in life, the more gratitude and fulfillment we’ll experience.
In this episode, I share 5 easy ways to be a more present mom by focusing on simple pleasures with your kids.
5 Easy Ways to be a More Present Mom TODAY:
1-Laugh More: Laugh with your kids, watch a comedy show with your husband, spend more time with the friends who make you laugh, take a laughter yoga class- do whatever brings more laughter into your day!
2-The Snuggle is Real: Wrap your softest blanket or robe over your shoulders and over your littles to snuggle them in with you. Feel the soft material on your skin, wrap your body around their squishy little form, while feeling the warmth rising in your body.
3- Noticing the Details: Look into your kid’s eyes as they tell you a story they're super excited about. Notice the intensity and sparkle in their eyes, how they nod their head and expressions emerge and fade, and how the story is punctuated with silliness and laughter. Absorb each moment!
4- Giving and Receiving smiles: Smile at your children often and even at random strangers you see. Our brains have mirror neurons, which means they're wired to mirror those around us. What you put out, you get back, you smile at others, and when they smile back, they get another dose of feeling good.
5- The Endorphin Rush after Exercise: Exercise in the morning to use that endorphin rush to help you feel present and productive throughout the entire day. Even just a walk with your kiddos can be energizing, and not only are you modeling a healthy lifestyle for your kids, but you'll all feel happier, more optimistic, and at ease.
