24. Being Present this Christmas, and Any Day Beyond

This week we do a quick,3 minute, on the go meditation. Reconnecting ourselves with our breath. Also reconnecting ourselves with ourselves and talking about each moment going forth. 
 
Debunking a bit of the underlying stress and pressure of Christmas, and moving on with how we can begin finding presence and peace in busy and often emotional times.
 
If you feel this resonates and want to further your journey to Finding Calm in the Chaos of Christmas, check out the Christmas Coaching package on the website. https://happylittlefutures.co.uk/product/find-calm-in-the-christmas-chaos-coaching-package/
 
Keep your eyes peeled for our New Years one too!
 
 

23. Advocating For Your Child, the Emotional Turmoil and Ways to Move Through it.

Seeing your child struggle with emotions, feelings and changes is difficult. However, what can be just as difficult is knowing when to advocate for them, how far to push, and whether it is something you need to keep on with.
 
Maybe it's the time of year, maybe it's something else, but our eldest is definitely more anxious than normal. Today I talk about ways in which I'm educating her and advocating for her at school to help her manage her anxiety.
 
Not only that, but also how it is something that I need to work on with regards to my own trust and anxiety.

22. Getting Ready for a Present, Mindful Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching, and what better time to practise being present. Yes that's present as in in the moment!
 
Today, I'm talking about the steps we are taking as a family to making this Christmas a pre mindful, and relaxed one. I talk about a few more things that I am doing to try to be more present myself this Christmas, and also, what we are doing to try to teach the kids to be more present at Christmas.
 
I also share the exciting news about my Finding Calm in the Christmas Chaos Coaching Package, out on the 1st December!
 
So pull up and chill!

21. Separation Anxiety and Tantrums, How I Keep Connected and Balanced

It is tantrum and separation anxiety central here at the moment!
Littlest Miss is missing the bigguns and worrying we'll abandon her too. How did I figure this out? How am I keeping myself in check, whilst dealing with one of the most frustrating stages? Will this 'phase' ever end?
 
Yes, it will, I've seen that it does before! However, somehow it feels so different this time. Listen to find out how we're riding the waves on our third trip through this phase!
 
If you need a bit of zen in your week, why not sign up to the newsletter and get yourself a free 30 Minute Weekly Reset Session to help you ride the storm.

20. 5 Things I’ve Learnt Through Meditation

This week, for my 20th Episode, I thought I'd tell you about five main things that I've learnt through meditation.
 
I have been on a long journey, with many ups and downs, in my years of meditating. Over these years, meditation has taught me many things. So many in fact, that when I started writing my list I struggled to stop. So this episode highlights the five, in my opinion, most important things I have learnt through meditation. 
 
So join me as I wind my way through experiences and how the practice of meditation has guided me increasingly to the present moment. 

19. Gratitude Practise, The Wider Implications of Something So Simple.

Today we're talking gratitude and positivity. Everyone has heard someone say 'look on the bright side' or 'be more positive'. This episode is all about how doing that regularly, no matter how big or small the positive side is, can truly change the way in which you see each and every day.
 
Don't forget to check out my Facebook and Instagram stories to see some regular gratitude practise of mine, and for an opportunity to share your own!
 
 

18. Why I Don’t Listen to the News, and Why that is OK.

This week I'm touching on a sensitive subject. The News.
 
I have had a lot of conversations with people in recent weeks where they are struggling with news from around the world, and also struggling with the feelings of guilt and selfishness that they are not engaging with it.
 
Whilst unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to be able to just switch off to the news, today I tackle why it is OK if you are and why it is ok to let go of feelings of guilt and selfishness associated with doing so.

17. How Meditation Can Help When You’re Having a Panic Attack

I'm feeling slightly more vulnerable than normal sharing this weeks podcast with you. I had a panic attack earlier in the week. However, unlike previous times that I have felt like this I was able to label what was going on and do something about it.
 
This has come with lots of meditation practise. Whilst daily I can notice how I am feeling and turn it around, this was the first time I have really really been present with myself in a state of such heightened emotions.
 
So join me as I share what this feels like for me, how I noticed and what I did about it as well as why this has further strengthened to me why what I teach to children and those that support them is so important.
 
 

16. Teaching Self Care at Home

Following on from talking about self compassion, this week I'm talking about self care. Specifically, how we as parents are trying to create a focus on self care when the kids are at home. 
 
So have a listen, see what you think, and let me know if you have tried anything similar!
