Developing and practicing mindfulness—the awareness and joy of the present moment—is a game-changer. All too often we fret about the past or future, about things that we have no control over. So much energy is wasted on this — to the point where we miss out on the simple beauty and satisfaction of what is happening right here and now. When you dwell in mindfulness each activity you undertake is enjoyable because that is all that matters at the moment. Even simple everyday things take on new meaning.
One of the best tools for developing mindfulness is meditation. This could be traditional sitting meditation or walking meditation or even just finding quiet time to close our eyes, focus on our breath and relax. Learning to develop our mind’s capacity to embrace on the moment and not be sidetracked by unwanted thoughts enables us to approach our day-to-day much differently. For the fellow parents out there, mindfulness can be an amazing tool when it comes to dealing with the trials and tribulations of raising children!
