'Be in the present' is something we hear from various sources and can be really difficult to put into practice. For me it poses a particular challenge as my daughter grows into a little girl. I am often worried about if I'm doing my job as a mama well, or if she's happy, eating enough, getting enough activity, having good times. Sometimes I think about how I will continue caring for her and ways to keep my physical energy high as she grows older. All this time I spend worrying I am realizing are moments that I am not fully spending with her. I want to be with her not just physically but also playing and energetically engaged in each precious moment. I try and remember that as many tell me, 'she'll grow up so fast.' It's happening already.
Whoo what a ride being a new mother!!
