This episode marks the beginning of a new monthly course here at Mom School and I am really excited about bringing you this course. The course this month is called “Managing Momlife with Mindfulness.” We will be discussing and practicing the elements of mindfulness, that when we have them in place, will help us feel more joy, and more like ourselves, and make managing mom life a whole lot easier.
If you are new to mindfulness, this is an excellent entry point. If you are experienced with mindfulness, this course will give you some new perspectives from which to see how mindfulness can be cultivated in your life.
I will use the acronym S.H.I.N.E to help us remember the elements of living mindfully in momlife.
S: Sit H: Habits I: Inner Wisdom N: Neighbor E: Education
Don’t worry if you forgot those already, we will be revisiting this and by the end of the course, you’ll have it down.
We will do a deep dive into one element each week.
The S in the SHINE acronym stands for sit. Sitting represents a formal mindfulness practice, something you do nearly daily as part of your routine like showering or brushing your teeth. The formal mindfulness practice I went into more detail on here is meditation and we discussed ways to think flexibly about your formal practice.
