: 小孩真的有胎内记忆吗？ 这天和乐乐一起看绘本的时候，刚好有一页是讲关于妈妈怀胎10个月的。 我说：“以前乐乐也是在mummy的肚子里面”。没想到他转过头来看着我，然后摸摸我的肚子，似乎记得他曾经也在里面呆过 🥹 期待他能表达更多的时候，因为我想问问他更多关于他的胎内记忆 🤭 #ParentingJournal #MomLifeNotes #DadDiaries #ParentingChronicles #FamilyJournaling #ReflectiveParenting #DailyParentingJoy #JournalingMemories #ParentingInsights #HeartfeltMoments #ParentingReflections #LifeWithKids #ParentingStories #CapturingParenting #CherishedParenthood #ParentingAdventure #ParentingJourneyJournal #ThoughtfulParenting #ParenthoodDiaries #JournalingLove #ParentingWisdom #ExpressiveParenting #JournalingLifeWithKids #ParenthoodReflections #ParentingBliss #ParentingWonders #MindfulParentingJournal #ParentingJoyfulMoments #JournalingWithLove #ParentingDiscovery

One of the most challenging aspects of dealing with conflicts is knowing when to stop and give your own self a time out. We can get so caught up in being right and getting our point across that we start to miss out on the other person's perspective and point. That’s why I included this helpful tip in chapter 4 of my new book "Mindfulness Journal for Parents", available for preorder on Amazon now via the link in my bio. There are tons more tips like this all throughout my book. If you find this helpful, take a moment to get a copy. Let me know if there are any other tips you’d like me to share and don't forget to hit the save/bookmark button to save this post for later! #mindfulnessjournalforparents

You shape the days ahead by being an active and mindful participant in the present. Life doesn't get created in the what-ifs, it is created in the here and now. Witness and engage in life as it unfolds. What will you create today? Quote by Abraham Lincoln #beherenow
Whether we realize or not, we create narratives for how we want our lives to play out. It is these expectations that we hold on to that can cause a lot of stress in our lives. This is not to say we can't have dreams and goals. Rather, it's a willingness to be flexible and to be mindful of what the present moment is offering us. It is in this freedom to be open that we release a lot of stress and anxiety and make room for possibility. quote by Joseph Campbell
The weather can be good or bad, but it comes and goes. No matter what, the sky remains present. It may change color, but it always returns to its beautiful nature. When the stress hits you today, remember that you are the sky.
Show up for yourself because YOU ARE WORTH IT! A big piece of creating a new habit is awareness - being tuned into what you are or aren't doing so that you can understand what you need to do to show up for yourself. Another piece of the puzzle is breaking down the barriers to starting a new habit to make it easier to start. Here's a great way to jumpstart being more aware in the various parts of your life - check out the "30 Day Mindfulness Plan" @popsugarfitness !! I contributed numerous ways to optimize your sleep, workouts, mindset, relationships and more! Super quick and easy habits to incorporate into your life. Click on the link in my bio to start this plan today because babe, it's time to show up for yourself.
Hope you enjoy some moments during this weekend in real time. xoxojo Quote by Alice Morse Earle #mindfulnessjournalforparents
Here's a Tuesday tip for you - it's okay to say "Oh, hell no!" to whatever thoughts don't resonate with you. With the amount of thoughts we have floating around our brain on any given day (60-80k!) some will be the kind of awesome, "I have my own cheer squad" kind of goodness. Then there will be those "other" thoughts - your inner critic, limiting beliefs, outdated expectations. So as you go about your day, just remember you can either hold on to the good thoughts or just let them go. You are not your thoughts. xoxojo #mindfulparentingjournal #joatluri
I love this quote by Marcus Aurelius because it reminds me that my mindset is in my hands. Many things in life are out of our control and we often fight against that notion. This battle is what brings on frustration, stress, anger, and sadness. When we let go of all those things out of our control, a feeling of freedom and lightness settles within. So today, find an opportunity to let go of something and tell yourself, "I have the power over my mindset and response to life". By the way, I'm starting to teach over @unplugmeditation again every Monday virtually at 1pm pst starting this Monday, May 10th! Would love for you to join me for this 30 minute reset and recharge in your day. Link in bio to sign up.
Whenever I'm in a mood and need a mantra to calm myself down plus put a smile on my face, I tell myself "Serenity Now." It reminds me to tap into my inner calm and also reminds of that great Seinfeld episode with George Costanza. 😂 That's the thing about habits, you can purposefully create them around a cue or they can just happen without your knowledge due to repeated action. If you're trying to shift your mindset, be proactive and create a cue-craving-response-reward around this shift in mindset. So in this instance, the cue is the feeling of stress or overwhelm. The craving is my desire to feel calm. My response is the use of the mantra "Serenity Now". And my reward is feeling both calm and happy by using this phrase. I'm all about making meditation and mindfulness accessible and easy to do so that calm feels attainable and sustainable. Continue following along and I'll be sharing more tips on how to incorporate these strategies into your life so you can truly enjoy life as it happens to you and not just in retrospect.
Mental note as we head into the weekend - give yourself permission to enjoy that moment of stillness and silence in between those breaths. You'll be surprised by the power in that pause. Have a fab weekend everyone! xoxojo
Without even realizing it, we build up these invisible walls for ourselves based on past experiences, things people have told us, things we have told ourselves. Imagine what your life would be like if you didn't limit yourself with these beliefs... Try it today -- ignore one limit you normally set on yourself and go for it. Run further, apply for a job you really want, advocate for yourself when you normally wouldn't. Those limiting beliefs are high fences, but I'm confident that you can scale at least one of them today if you put your mind to it. Would love for you to share with me in the comments below a limiting belief you've noticed and how you plan to face it today.
First child or a house full -- empower yourself by gaining the tools to bring mindfulness into your daily parenting life. Join us for a discussion of real life challenges and to learn techniques for being calm amid the chaos in my new Facebook Group.

Today's affirmation is all about strength. The strength to get through the day or the next hour. It could be physical strength for those who are battling an illness or mental strength for those who are having a hard time moving through life. Perhaps it's your spirit that needs strengthening. . Whatever the case, make this your statement for the day. Try it now. Say, "today I will be strong." Say it out loud, even if you can only whisper it. Sit with it. Internalize it. Then go on with your day. . Making affirmations part of your daily routine will make it easier to find that calm place when you need it. So practice, practice, practice until it becomes a habit.
When you're in the thick of parenting and it just seems like everything that you're doing isn't working and you're floundering, try a few affirmations. I am strong. I will be okay, I have this, I got this. I am enough. Whatever words resonate for you. . By saying that in that moment, when you just feel like you can't do it anymore, just repeating that to yourself, gives you that shoulder to lean on and it'll help you get through that moment. Then you can go back into life with that renewed sense of hope, that renewed sense of strength and empowerment, that you need to really tackle what's in front of you. So give that a try. It's helped me out a lot.
First time meditating? Nervous about doing it "right?" Not to worry! I've got you. Here are my top tips for how to ensure your new meditation practice is a success: . • LOCATION: You don't need a fancy location or setup in order to meditate. All you need is a quiet place where you'll feel comfortable sitting or lying down. . • TIME OF DAY: You know you and your schedule best. Plan to do your meditation when it will work best for you. If you're a morning person then plan for it early in your day. More of a night owl? Then schedule those meditations for bedtime. . • LENGTH: You only need to mediate for at least 3 minutes a day to feel the positive effects of meditation - reduced stress and anxiety, increased joy, focus, calm and positivity, improved sleep, and present moment awareness and appreciation. Start small and eventually build up your time. . • ACCOUNTABILITY: To ensure success, it's best to pair your new ritual to an existing daily task like brushing your teeth or eating dinner. By pairing it to something you already consistently do, you have a greater chance of success in adding your new habit. because it becomes automatic.
The best thing you can do for your family today is take some time for yourself. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but when you take the time to relax and recharge, everyone benefits. A half hour would be great, but ten minutes will do in a pinch. Let your family know that you need uninterrupted time, then take it. . Top Tip: Write your "me time" down in your planner or on the family calendar just as you would any other important appointment. Even better, have your phone or home AI system remind you that it's time to take your break. When you make downtime a priority, it's much more likely to happen. . #selfcompassion #quarantinedwithkids #toddlermomlife #preschoolmomlife #mindfulmom #maniftesting #wellbeing #relax #metime #selfcare
When dealing with a wilful child, it's easy to match their tone and volume, giving back what you're getting, but that won't diffuse the situation. When you calm yourself down first, with breathing techniques or a short meditation, you'll be better able to approach the situation. In addition to removing the power struggle, you're modeling appropriate behavior so your child can use these same techniques in the future to head off trouble but it arises.
The best way to get control of everything you have going on is to slow down. Counterintuitive, I know, but when you press pause and give yourself a chance to clear your mind, you'll be in a better state to work through your to do list without wasting time and putting out more energy than you need to. Being productive isn't the same as being busy. Taking a moment for yourself can help your achieve more in less time.
This week, I'd like you to focus on the concept of Quiet Time. If you're a mom, that can sound like an impossible dream, but it's important for you and your family. Mark the time on your calendar. Post it on the fridge. Tuesday from 7pm to 7:30pm is ME Time. . How should you spend your quiet time? It could be a walk or a run. It could be a half hour in your favorite chair reading a book. Spend the time working on a craft you enjoy or spend it doing nothing at all. How you spend that time is up to you, as long as it's soothing on the soul. . Make a promise to yourself right now and put it in the comments below for accountability -- On (date) at (time), I will (quiet activity). Then comeback next week and let me know if you were able to accomplish your goal. I'll start us out! Here's mine: On Tuesday at 8:30 am, I will meditate for 20 minutes. . #mindfulnesspractice #empoweryourself #metime #quitetime #selfcare #momlife
An affirmation is a simple statement of encouragement and support that can be said to oneself in a declarative way. When we state something positive to ourselves, the idea will take root within us and shift our mindset. Affirmations help us challenge and overcome negative thoughts and can guide us to a peaceful place. . Try it now. Say, "today I will manifest calm." Say it out loud, even if you can only whisper it. Sit with it. Internalize it. Then go on with your day. . Making affirmations part of your daily routine will make it easier to find that calm place when you need it. So practice, practice, practice until it becomes a habit. . #selfcompassion #quarantinedwithkids #toddlermomlife #preschoolmomlife #mindfulmom #maniftesting #wellbeing #relax #affirmations #meditation
With kids, work, household chores and unexpected surprises, it's easy to get overwhelmed long before the day is over. One way to combat this feeling is with a weekly celebration moment for family—as well as one just for yourself, mama—so you have something to look forward to at the end of your week. . My personal celebratory moments are self-care strategies, such as at-home facials, baths or alone time. For our end-of-week family celebrations, we make a plan to do something different from our daily at-home pandemic routine: a backyard movie, an online escape room or simply getting take-out from a new restaurant. .

Today, I'd like you to set an intention. Start with one word that really resonates with you right now. Think about words like relaxation, peace, freedom, strength, acceptance. Choose the word then take some time to focus on it - this is setting an intention. . As you go through your day, if you feel yourself getting caught up in a situation, stop and focus on that intention. What can you do right now that will serve that intention? Sometimes, simply stopping and acknowledging the situation is all you need to shift your mindset. And the more you do it, the easier it will become. . What word resonates with you right now? Leave it in the comments below. . #mindfulmom #setanintention #manifesting #gratitude #parenting #clearyourmind
Happy new year! Hello 2021! We are so ready for what this new year will bring. And while it is wonderful to feel hopeful and excited for a fresh start, it is important to stay anchored to the beauty of the present moment. The past is behind us and everything that lays ahead of us is not guaranteed. With that knowledge, embrace the power of the present moment. Allow yourself the chance to feel wonder today, to feel pure joy, to feel gratitude for the simple fact that you are alive and have the ability to witness this day. I hope your first day of '21 is a beautiful one.
Each day we get to hit the reset button. Just because you operated a certain way yesterday doesn't mean you need to respond to life in that same manner today. We're lucky that each day affords us a new chance to try and do better, be better, feel better. Remember, your past is your past. It does not dictate your today. And your future hasn't happened yet babe. It's not guaranteed. So take this day, to-day, and own it. Make it the best damn day that you possibly can. And if you hit a road bump along the way, know that you can press that reset button again in the middle of the day (don't worry - no one is watching and keeping tabs on your perfection except for yourself - so let that go.) Here's how to stay accountable - use this mantra to keep you grounded saying it to yourself as many times as you need: Today is a new day. Have a great week lovelies! xojo
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way ~ Wayne Dyer I hope that you can give yourself permission to unleash your inner child and be free from worry just long enough to enjoy one moment today. #liveinspired #enjoytheride
Breathe baby. Your breath is a powerful tool, First, it's the gateway from a state of stress to a state of calm. Simply by slowing down your inhale and exhale, you take control of your mind, body and situation. Breathing techniques are a great tool for stress management and a great point of focus in one's meditation. There are a multitude of ways to manipulate your breath and become mindful of your breathing. Try this one out - count how long it takes you to exhale. With each subsequent exhale, make it one second longer. When your attention is on the counting of your breath, you become present in the moment and unable to think about anything else that may be stressing you out. Give it a try and let me know in the comments below how you feel afterwards! #happymondays #breathedeep
