8. A Little Self Care Can Go A Long Way

Self Care is a phrase we hear more and more of nowadays. However, what it means from one person to another can vary greatly.
To some Self Care is a day they carve out, where they sit in a coffee shop with a good book and drink and eat whatever they like. To me it is something as simple as giving myself permission or setting a reminder to reconnect with myself in a breath.
Listen as I waffle on about what happens when that Self Care cup isn't topped up regularly.

7. More about why Children and Families should practice mindfulness and meditation.

As I went on a bit in last weeks episode I thought I would actually make the point I wanted to in this one!
Why mindfulness and meditation are such an important tool for kids, parents and anyone to have. The benefits you and children can reap from having these skills is incredible, and you can start teaching as soon as they are born.
I reflect on how mindfulness and meditation are making a difference in our family life, as well as in our lives as individuals, and I how practising regularly can make it easier to continue.
