My new meditation is to spend as much time as I can every day just 'being' with her.

Noticing everything there is to notice about her - her squidgy fat rolls, her bright eyes, her long dark eyelashes, how her chest rises and falls when she breathes, feeling her soft skin, her legs get a little chunkier and her tiny fingers get a little better at grasping for her favourite toys.

I think it helps me to sit with feelings when things aren't so great too.

I appreciate little things sooooo much more!

This morning I was so grateful to have 20 mins in the bush on my own and yesterday I went for a 20 min ocean swim.

I was beyond blissed out by how lucky I was to live so close to the ocean and have the time to myself to do it whereas I used to take these things for granted.

When we are overwhelmed by stress or emotion (or simply bored), it is all too tempting to reach for a snack as a distraction.

When you get the urge to eat, ask yourself
“am I hungry?” or “what just happened?”

In many cases taking a walk outside, having a chat with a friend, or drinking a glass of water will serve us better. Mindful eating is eating when our bodies tell us to eat and we physically feel hungry.

"I've become even more aware of how much I worry about what other people will thing of me, my baby and how I'm parenting her.

I've noticed that both her and I get stressed when I let my own silly judgements cloud how I parent her.
Life is much easier when I tune in and listen to my Mumma bear instincts, rather than worrying about what others may think, which is more so in my own head than in reality anyway"

Create the possibility and it's yours - it's a mind over matter kind of thing.

Hello! here dropping in with a mindful reminder that if you are stressed and deprived of sleep, your body will crave the quickest form of energy there is – sugar.

It’s important you are getting about 8 hours of quality sleep per night, to regulate your appetite hormones, moods, energy levels and reduce tension in your body.

I know I know, easier said than done.. start here..

Have some daily downtime and rest your mind without distractions. I recommend learning mindfulness meditation for as little as 10 minutes a day. Emily and I both love apps like and insight timer for our daily medi!

I think of Mia as my spiritual teacher.

She gently guides me towards all the lessons I need to learn like how to slow down and stop trying to do so damn much.

If I don't listen she screams louder and if I still don't listen the universe strikes me down with some physical ailment - so I have no choice but to rest!
