Mindfulness for Moms: How Can You Relax at Home?
This is a practice that consists of experiencing mindfulness in the present, usually when we do activities we do it automatically while our head thinks about other things.
Mindfulness is committed to working those burdens that we carry with us on a day-to-day basis. Mothers especially take on many responsibilities, with little or no time left for them.
It is important that we keep our minds healthy so that we can be healthy and take better care of children.
Why avoid stress at home?
Busy routines, children, cooking, cleaning and endless chores are the day to day of mothers at home, so it is very common for them to feel stressed easily.
However, high levels of stress are harmful to health, and do not allow us to take proper care of children.
When we are under stress, the brain produces a chemical called cortisol, this is responsible for keeping us alert to danger, its function is adaptive, but in everyday life and at high levels it is harmful.
High levels of cortisol can lead to a decrease in the levels of serotonin, the substance responsible for the feeling of joy.
Another adverse consequence of stress is that when we feel tired and overwhelmed, we do not have the patience to deal with conflicts that arise with children in everyday life, and we are more prone to irritability.
What can lead to an inappropriate reaction to children, the environment or ourselves, it is vital to keep stress levels under control so that our body and body remain healthy.
