Great conversation indeed Klara ( ) and I just had about the importance of fitting into our packed professional and mums' agendas a body and mind recharging moment of self care around fitness. 👟

In my case, it serves me a daily lunchtime 30min yoga and cycling kids to and from school. I do create the time and have the discipline for it.🎡
😅It is not always possible nor easy to keep it on, but the simple thought of its future positive outcome:
- gaining energy to help me focus on my day demands
- feel good about myself
- bring the needed calm and control of my thoughts
are the motivating factors to compensate the missing fitness moment in another day.☺

❔What is the role of fitness in your life?

😊Share what works for you,
so other moms can find ins🤔piration in it and feel better about themselves and their bodies after going through such a radical change in 9mths, to then take at least 1 yr from giving birth to "fully" recover.

Keep it up!

and contact Klara Scheurenbrand if you wish to share your story in her interesting research on how you integrate exercise in your schedule.

Have you ever thought: when will I be able to...💭😏

- lay down and sunbath for more than 2min without being called mummy?
- go scuba dive again?
- stay up until late without fearing yet another interrupted night of sleep?
- read or do my sudoku that I used to do a lot while on holiday..

I know the day will come and it is lovely having an active holiday surrounded by excited kids, making sand castles, learning how to dive and swim, or just splashing around.🤽🤸

The day will come, but for now I am happy to compromise and share these unique moments with my 2 little ones, which I was reminded by an old man in the swimming pool another day.❤️

These days WILL NOT come back and I will have the time for whatever I used to dream to do while on holiday before having kids.

What happy compromises do you make?
Waking up before everyone and sneak out of the house for some paddle surf, was mine, when possible ;-)

MUM GUILT
Are you familiar with it?
Feeling mum guilt time to time is completely normal.😒

Here some strategies that work (ed) for me:😉
> some time off - for some time alone, agreed with my partner or other parents, for some yoga, my coaching or whatever it is needed
> professional help - coaches and consultants
listen to your intuition - most of the times, we know what is needed, for you and the kids e.g. working from home and nor able to give your attention right away, just compensate afterwards
> prioritise self care - so you can be more present and patience with the kids; the mask should be 1st placed on you, then on the kids.

MUM GUILT
Feeling mum guilt time to time is completely normal.😒

And it is ok to experience it, as long as you have strategies to deal with it, to avoid clouding your judgment as a parent and prevent you to connect with your kids.👌

Being a Mum (or Dad), is one of the most rewarding yet challenging jobs in the world, and like you, I also face it.✨

And just as a coach can help you improve your career, it can also help you becoming a better person and a better parent. 👍

THAT FAMILIAR GUILT FEELING...

It was a rainy bank holiday and I had planned to catch up with work, considering we had no plans other than staying at home after a nice lunch.

Guess what, kids wanted to play with Mommy besides Daddy and didn't leave me alone for a minute.

I tried to escape upstairs a few times, but the constant muuuummyyyy loud call always came after me.

I came down after not being able to do anything productive 😟and would sit on the floor with both of the kids painting, constructing things, playing silly games and I felt myself fully present, at least most of the time.

But THAT familiar guilty feeling we all know about, kept coming and judging me for not either being fully there nor catching up with my work.

This inner battle in my mind kept going until I said to myself, it is enough!

I am enough! 💪

I am now here with my family. It is such a privilege we have kids, this free time to play and they really want to play with me; 🙏

and don't take me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy being with them and I end up being unable to swap that by any work stuff that is waiting for me, even if that means I will be stressed out at work in the coming days.

Is it easy? Absolutely not. 😅

It goes both ways - sometimes I dedicate more time and energy to work, and other times, to my family.

What I find the most important is to STOP my inner mind battle early enough and say to myself:

it is OK, now it is time for my family and be fully present, or now it is time to focus and to finish work. ☺🧘

And I accept that decision, and be at peace with myself...most of the times.

Where your mind goes, energy flows.

Have a lovely week! 🙂

Here we go again, I thought a few of wks ago...
My 2 yr old son with a cold again but this time besides temperature and the common flu symptoms, he also threw up a couple of times during the weekend nights, so all in all, 3 sleepless nights yet again.

I took him to the GP on Mon after my morning meeting.
It was when all started!😔

After all the checks the Dr didn't like his breathing. So, she gave him an inhaler 3x and without improvement, recommended him to be checked at the hospital.

My husband met me there and we waited, while ignored a few missed work calls, until sent to a room in the isolation area.

His oxygen levels were checked and were rather low to our surprise. My son had to be given more oxygen, After a while, he had to repeat the process again.

Work was forgotten in the background. My son was my priority!

Mid afternoon, we were told we had to go to a room to spend the night and only one of us could stay with him. The Dr was afraid that his oxygen levels would fall again when asleep so we didnt risk it and accepted to spend the night.
We decided I stayed. 🙌

Meanwhile, my 4 yr old daughter, had to be picked up from school by Dad and I reorganised my work schedule.

She came over to have dinner with us but had to convince her, she couldn't spend the night. This was not easy but we managed and Dad had a nice evening with treats planned out. We had a video call in the evening, and she was ok when she saw my new bed next to her little brother.😍

How did I manage? This unexpected emotions and turn of events?
Good thing - the night went well!.😊

From my perspective, after positive intelligence training and coaching practices, I manage to stay calm, present, and while aware of mine and others' emotions, I took it easy and decided there is no point to panic for things that are not under my control. 🧘‍♀️

The only thing I can control is HOW I DEAL with my emotions in the moment and to be grateful for being able to keep my head cool to make the right decisions when needed.💖

It is UP to US to find the strength and required support to deal with it!

Being such a sociable person, passionate about connections and eager to get to know new people, it is something I feel it has been slipping away since last year.
Having said that, thanks to technology, although not the same, it is possible to stay connected and continue expanding our network of beautiful people, but it requires additional effort no doubt😏
The way I see it, is that being nostalgic about the past is not going to take us anywhere but focusing on the present, adapting, learning new stuff and stay positive, it will make us more resilient to face a new future.💪
This is why I am setting up these Share & Connect FREE sessions with stories that resonate with you and bringing a Mental Fitness simple technique every session, to help you quieting your mind even for a couple of minutes at time, to lift you up by bringing clarity, focus and positive vibes so you can move forward tand and take control of the present 😊

Do you wish to feel more supported, listened to?
Do you need some time for self-care or just to re-charge your batteries?

This time is for you.🌞🌈
Come along and join me in these sessions.
I am looking forward to it 🙏
