Mental Moments for Mom

Had a rough day or week? Try this meditation for moms….or anyone who is interested.
Alright, it’s time to start my new fitness routine!
The good news – I got an average of 30 minutes
Imagine your friend told you to brush your teeth for an hour on Monday morning, then you can skip brushing your teeth the rest of the week. What would your response be?
“Whoa!” There is so much happening to our teeth throughout the course of the next 6 days. Our teeth would be a disaster…not to mention our breath. Yet most of us consistently brush 2-3 times per day. When it comes to our teeth, regular short bouts of care (aka teeth brushing) make a world of a difference.
Instead of overwhelming your body with one intense session per week followed by little to no physical activity, try something different. Pace your efforts.
First start by building a plan. Mix it up with various types of physical activity that you enjoy most. Diversify the types of movement to include strength training, cardiovascular programs, and recovery sessions (such as stretch, massage, foam rolling). Allot time into your daily routines to complete the exercises.
Once you begin executing your plan, listen to your body. Make adjustments as needed and don’t be too rigid – unless that works for you.
Get help to build a program that works for you. The great thing about a Fitness Provider is that they can also help hold you accountable to your plan and modify it as needed.
Whichever approach you take, look for one you can sustain.
Remember, Consistency = Results.
Just like Fitness = Brushing your teeth.

Centering your breath is an important practice that can help you reduce stress, improve your focus, and increase your overall sense of well-being. Here are 3 tips to help you center your breath:
Have you caught a coworker or friend saying, “I’m tired!”
Or has your gym buddy recently said to you, “I’m so sore!”
Or have you caught yourself saying in the morning, “I can’t get up, I’m so exhausted!”
I started thinking, why do we say these ‘weakness phrases’ out loud? Are we seeking pity? Or recognition that we accomplished something?
