Oh hello March. . . This month marks exactly one

Oh hello March.
.
.
This month marks exactly one year since all of our lives changed rather abruptly with the onset of a pandemic. We all have our stories of what I like to think of as the “Unraveling of March 2020.” Someday I imagine telling my wide eyed grandchildren how the world seemed to stop spinning as we all had to hunker down due to a mysterious virus😯 For me, I was so optimistic for the majority of March, launching the #ilovemyrealself movement, embracing homeschool with open arms, and taking part in #hunkereddownhappyhour with @homewiththewileys and so many of you! A little over halfway through the month, things got crazy when I became the 7th person in my town to catch Coronavirus. And just when I thought I had a hold on my life I realized I was far from being in control.
.
.
.
Today I’m reminding myself that anxiety and fear have no place in my heart. I cannot worry that the world may stop spinning again or that I’ll suddenly find myself sick for months on end. I cannot let the unknown prevent me from living life ♥️

You cannot always control what goes on outside...

You cannot always control what goes on outside... but you can always control what goes on inside.

I’d love to say this quote symbolizes how I live my life, but it doesn’t. I can’t pretend I have full control over how I feel, how I react, and how I respond... especially after this difficult month. What I do know is this... there is a new month ahead of us, one I hope brings new beginnings and brighter days. ♥️

We aren’t sleeping. We are meditating. 🧘‍♀️
Mindfulness is quickly becoming a popular activity to manage stress and anxiety in both adults and children. I have two very strong willed daughters with lots of big emotions, so mindfulness has become an important practice in our home. Mindfulness is not the easiest skill to teach a child. It means paying full attention to something – which doesn’t come naturally to most kids unless it involves a t.v. show.
✨Today on CHB I’m sharing 6 Mindfulness Activities for kids - plus the book my Aunt used to read me when I was little for a magical guided meditation. ✨
