À propos de cet audio

 Hey there, and welcome back. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here on this Tuesday morning. If you're listening right now, there's a good chance you've already had at least one moment today where you thought, "How am I going to get through this day without losing my mind?" Maybe it's the back-to-school rush, or someone spilled juice on the clean laundry, or there's just that low hum of chaos in the background. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know that what you're feeling is completely normal, and you're not alone in it.

Today, I want to share something that's changed the way I parent, and the way countless people I know parent. It's called the Pause Button practice, and it's going to give you something really powerful: a moment that's just yours, before you respond to the next demand, the next question, the next meltdown.

So let's start by finding a comfortable seat wherever you are right now. You don't need to be anywhere fancy. I'm picturing you in your kitchen or your car or maybe a bathroom with the door locked, and honestly, that's perfect. Take a breath in through your nose for a count of four. Hold it for a moment. And then let it out slowly through your mouth, like you're blowing across a cup of hot tea.

Here's what I want you to do today, and this is something you can use the second you feel that frustration rising. The next time your child pushes a button, or you notice that familiar heat climbing up your neck, you're going to pause. Just pause. It takes three seconds. Mentally place your feet on the ground, notice the weight of your body in your seat or against the floor. Feel your hands, maybe press them together gently. That grounding sensation is your anchor. Then take one conscious breath. One. That's it. In through your nose, out through your mouth. During that single breath, something shifts. Your nervous system gets the memo. You're not in danger. You can respond instead of react.

Try this every single time today when you feel triggered. Before you raise your voice. Before you rush. Just three seconds of grounding, then one conscious breath. You'll be amazed at what that tiny space creates between the moment and your response.

I want to thank you so much for spending this time with me today and for being part of the Mindful Parenting community. If this practice resonates with you, please subscribe so you don't miss our daily tips. Because parenting is hard, but you're doing it beautifully.
