Quiet Mind Up So I Can Just Be A Mom
The most important thing I have learned about being a mom is to be present. What does that mean you say? Of course you are present, right? Well, that isn't so true or easy to do.
A woman's mind or anyones for that matter is always thinking and thinking and thinking. Really think about it! OR should I say try to stop thinking. Go ahead and try it right now. Stop your mind from thinking. It is virtually impossible.
The mind, have you ever noticed just never shuts up. The endless chatter just going in circles. And yes, I hate to say it but women are the worse. We are thinking about everything from what to make for dinner, to finding the receipt for the sweater you need to return to thinking you are the worse mom cause your baby fell asleep before she got enough bites of green beans in her mouth etc. etc. etc. The worse part is it is non stop, repetitive, and never ending.
I have learned something very important about being a mom and parenting, but by no means am a master of it. It is to be conscious of what you are thinking. Really! Always be the watcher of your thoughts. Then slow them down. Nothing is more important than right now this very moment especially in your child's eyes. You don't have the past. You don't have the future. all you will EVER have is right NOW.
Trust me, you won't be able to do it in one try. The mind is a powerful thing. You will lose yourself in thought over and over but continually come back to being that watcher. You will get better and more conscious. Your quality of life will change.
So right now, Stop thinking. Look into your child's eyes. Appreciate this moment and just play or talk or get silly. But by all means Shut your mind up and be present. It is THE BEST present you can ever give your child or yourself. Believe me your child will notice the difference positive parenting, parenting advice, articles on parenting, conscious parenting ,parenting
