Stressed Moms Rejoice!

There’s no doubt about it stress is bad for you! Stress is the emotional and physical reaction to events in life, it’s effects can be positive like getting more motivated or energized BUT for most people stress refers to the negative kind of stress, the negative stress, with inappropriate and negative effects.

Many moms suffer from chronic stress and over time physical and emotional health problems may arise. Chronic stress also leads to problems with focus, attention, performance, relationships and parenting. 

Managing stress is a 3 step process:

1. identify and reduce sources of stress if possible
2. improve the health of body and brain so you are less susceptible to stress
3. reduce the impact of stress, when it occurs. 

Meditation is a powerful stress reliever and has been shown to improve the health of the mind and body and improve insight, so that you can identify and reduce sources of stress. I tell people “meditation is like a magic wand against stress”. 

My recent survey of mothers revealed that over 70% of mothers don’t meditate. Reasons for not meditating include lack of time, busy-ness, distractibility and not knowing how to. 81% of mothers were interested in learning to meditate. 

This research led me to create Meditation4Moms a free meditation program for mothers, to show how with just 5 minutes of meditation moms can begin to create a new daily habit, which will transform their lives from stressed to serene and from harrassed to happy and healthy!
