On social media: All of us need to hone our message. What is we’re trying to say, who are we trying to reach, and why are we doing this in the first place. Then when we need to look at where is our attention: Are we distracted? What’s happening in our mind and body right now from an emotional place? Are we calm? Are we charged up? When we’re a little annoyed or charged up, it might be time to take a break before you hit “send.”
We start “teaching” our children mindfulness early on. We’re learning that we can regulate ourselves and down-regulate ourselves. If we can stay in the moment and in a mindful relationship with our child, that is amazing and important modeling. It creates an in tuned relationship. When they’re older, it’s being in the moment with the child engaged in the activity and really being present. Enjoy the wonderful moment without a lot of analyzing. If they’re drawing, simply be there, instead of being on the iPhone, and let them draw without expectations. Learn more about the ABCs – Attention, Balance and Compassion.
