Great conversation indeed Klara ( ) and I just had about the importance of fitting into our packed professional and mums' agendas a body and mind recharging moment of self care around fitness. 👟

In my case, it serves me a daily lunchtime 30min yoga and cycling kids to and from school. I do create the time and have the discipline for it.🎡
😅It is not always possible nor easy to keep it on, but the simple thought of its future positive outcome:
- gaining energy to help me focus on my day demands
- feel good about myself
- bring the needed calm and control of my thoughts
are the motivating factors to compensate the missing fitness moment in another day.☺

❔What is the role of fitness in your life?

😊Share what works for you,
so other moms can find ins🤔piration in it and feel better about themselves and their bodies after going through such a radical change in 9mths, to then take at least 1 yr from giving birth to "fully" recover.

Keep it up!

and contact Klara Scheurenbrand if you wish to share your story in her interesting research on how you integrate exercise in your schedule.

Have you ever thought: when will I be able to...💭😏

- lay down and sunbath for more than 2min without being called mummy?
- go scuba dive again?
- stay up until late without fearing yet another interrupted night of sleep?
- read or do my sudoku that I used to do a lot while on holiday..

I know the day will come and it is lovely having an active holiday surrounded by excited kids, making sand castles, learning how to dive and swim, or just splashing around.🤽🤸

The day will come, but for now I am happy to compromise and share these unique moments with my 2 little ones, which I was reminded by an old man in the swimming pool another day.❤️

These days WILL NOT come back and I will have the time for whatever I used to dream to do while on holiday before having kids.

What happy compromises do you make?
Waking up before everyone and sneak out of the house for some paddle surf, was mine, when possible ;-)

MUM GUILT
Are you familiar with it?
Feeling mum guilt time to time is completely normal.😒

Here some strategies that work (ed) for me:😉
> some time off - for some time alone, agreed with my partner or other parents, for some yoga, my coaching or whatever it is needed
> professional help - coaches and consultants
listen to your intuition - most of the times, we know what is needed, for you and the kids e.g. working from home and nor able to give your attention right away, just compensate afterwards
> prioritise self care - so you can be more present and patience with the kids; the mask should be 1st placed on you, then on the kids.

MUM GUILT
Feeling mum guilt time to time is completely normal.😒

And it is ok to experience it, as long as you have strategies to deal with it, to avoid clouding your judgment as a parent and prevent you to connect with your kids.👌

Being a Mum (or Dad), is one of the most rewarding yet challenging jobs in the world, and like you, I also face it.✨

And just as a coach can help you improve your career, it can also help you becoming a better person and a better parent. 👍

THAT FAMILIAR GUILT FEELING...

It was a rainy bank holiday and I had planned to catch up with work, considering we had no plans other than staying at home after a nice lunch.

Guess what, kids wanted to play with Mommy besides Daddy and didn't leave me alone for a minute.

I tried to escape upstairs a few times, but the constant muuuummyyyy loud call always came after me.

I came down after not being able to do anything productive 😟and would sit on the floor with both of the kids painting, constructing things, playing silly games and I felt myself fully present, at least most of the time.

But THAT familiar guilty feeling we all know about, kept coming and judging me for not either being fully there nor catching up with my work.

This inner battle in my mind kept going until I said to myself, it is enough!

I am enough! 💪

I am now here with my family. It is such a privilege we have kids, this free time to play and they really want to play with me; 🙏

and don't take me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy being with them and I end up being unable to swap that by any work stuff that is waiting for me, even if that means I will be stressed out at work in the coming days.

Is it easy? Absolutely not. 😅

It goes both ways - sometimes I dedicate more time and energy to work, and other times, to my family.

What I find the most important is to STOP my inner mind battle early enough and say to myself:

it is OK, now it is time for my family and be fully present, or now it is time to focus and to finish work. ☺🧘

And I accept that decision, and be at peace with myself...most of the times.

Where your mind goes, energy flows.

Have a lovely week! 🙂
