queenie,sunnydays,sunflower,bubblyfish,bananarama,lioness,melissa.koh shared different ways to practice mindfulness amidst busy motherhood including:
1. Making time for 'me-time': It's essential self-care that helps moms recharge and feel human again. This could be spent doing something you enjoy alone like shopping, catching up on a favorite show, working out or enjoying a manicure session.
2. Taking a few minutes each day to appreciate the little things: Stopping to smell the roses or taking in the joy of watching your kids play can help boost your mood and make you feel gratitude.
3. Making time for short meditation sessions: This helps one reconnect with oneself, reset and recenter amidst the chaos of motherhood. Even taking a few deep breaths when feeling overwhelmed makes a difference.
4. Stretching or doing light yoga: Starting your day with some light stretching or yoga can help put you in a good mood and wake up your body.
5. Taking time to enjoy simple things like a cup of tea or watching the sunset: It's important to find joy and appreciation in the small things that bring us happiness amidst our busy lives.
