Practice Tip for March
At the end of each day, invite yourself to reflect on a positive moment that you had with your child or children. Even if it has been a particularly challenging day (especially if it has been so), bring to mind a pleasant moment that you had with your child or children - or reflect on something that you appreciated about your child or children today.
It can be all too easy for our minds to hold on to the challenges that we experience in our day-to-day lives, overshadowing the moments of joy. Intentionally reflecting on the pleasant moments can support us in re-connecting with and remembering the joy and pleasure we share with our children each and every day.
"Instead of positive experiences washing through you like a sieve, they'll collect in implicit memory deep down in your brain." (Rick Hanson, "just one thing: developing a buddha brain one simple practice at a time).
