As opposed to having eight arms i think staying in the now is one of the hardest things for me. I wish that i could concentrate on what is going on in the now and not so focused on what is planned for the upcoming week. I would love to sit back and push all the deadlines and appointments to the side and be mentally present with my kids. How refreshing that would be!
If anyone masters this task please let me know?
I totally have the same issue, it is very difficult to be mentally present with the everyday tasks and deadlines that need to be met. I have learned to just take an hour or two out of each day and devote that to your kids. I usually have this with my daughter before she goes to bed every night. She reads to me, we talk or color together. It really creates a difference, regardless of your child's age I think it helps! :)
