Mindfulness is such a buzz word these days, isn’t it? It seems almost impossible to open a magazine, turn on the radio or flick onto social media without hearing about some form of mindfulness. From mindful eating to mindful parenting it seems that you really can do anything and everything ‘mindfully’! But what in the world does it actually mean?!

By definition, being mindful is the art of being 100% in the present moment, not thinking about the past or the future. It also involves not passing any judgement on how you are currently feeling. Being mindful requires you to completely focus your attention and awareness on the ‘here and the now’ and to simply accept any emotions or feelings that come up at that very moment. Basically, it is not thinking about the million things you have to do later today but instead enjoying what you are doing now.
As a parent, being more present with your family sounds amazing, don’t you think? However in practice it can be pretty much impossible to take even five minutes off planning dinner and thinking about how on earth you are going to get three kids to three different places all at the same time come Saturday morning!
