Article 21 days of mindfulness for mums – The chill factor – Day 7

By

8 Comments

Welcome to Day 7 of 21 days of Mindfulness for Mums with Leonie Percy author of the award winning book Mother Om.

Yesterday you watched a lecture that helped you understand the difference between good stress and bad stress and what is happening in your brain when you feel stressed and when you feel relaxed. Activating your para-sympathetic nervous system tells your body to rest and relax. Today I teach you how to relax your body.

Watch the video and then take a moment to sit or lie down do the deep breath meditation.

 

 

This mindful moment of breathing is lovely to practice before you go to sleep or in the morning before you get out of bed. Visualise a calm morning flow and set an intention to be a mindful mama.

Thanks for watching the video. Tomorrow I will explain the benefits of using mindfulness to manage stress and how you can re-wire your brain so when your kids are pushing your buttons you can remain calmer and be a more compassionate mother.

  • I do deep breathing if I wake up in the middle of the night. It helps me a lot going back to sleep, focusing on the moment, and not letting stressful thoughts keep me awake.

    • That is so wonderful to hear. Sleep is so important xx

      • Yes. And if you are an anxious person like me, you could spend the all night awake if you don’t free your mind of “unnecessary” thoughts. :-)

      • Your comment ‘free the mind’ is so very true.
