So imagine a life where, instead of feeling anxious, rushed, tense, and worried, you feel relaxed, calm, and in control all day long.

Sound impossible? Okay, I admit it might be a tall order in our current state of affairs, BUT it is my mission at the Be THAT Mom Movement to provide you with tools to help you navigate being a mom while proactively navigating all of the digital things with your kiddos as well as provide you with knowledge and tools to take care of yourself too, for you are the foundation for your family, and are highly needed and irreplaceable!!! 

So in that light, have you ever tried meditation?

2020 has been one crazy year to say the least, and if you are not using meditation as a tool for navigating this wild and weird year, I highly recommend you give it a go. I’m no expert at it, and on most days fight my mind from running in a thousand different directions for even a minute of meditation, but even just a minute is better than none.

I despise it, honestly, mainly because for all of my school and growing up years, and then most of my adult life, it was made out to be the ONLY way to exercise, and yet my untreated, subtly asthmatic lungs made it nearly impossible for me to do.

When I did successfully do it for any length of time, which was usually only a week or two before I quit, I saw NO results from these forced efforts, and it truly felt like a slow form of torture, so why bother. 

So then I resorted to just doing NOTHING, for exercise, or most things deemed healthy, for years, and unfortunately, it is this same s...

So I am not expert at this whole work and school thing from home, but my family had already been working and going to school from home partially, already. Listen in for a few tips I found helpful for us to make this work and us not lose our sanity. Lol.

So when I came home the other day and saw this sunset, it just gave me pause, and I decided it was time to take a step back and give myself a little extra TLC. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So that started with a relaxing bath with a bath bomb from My Soul CBD <I highly recommend this particular company for quality CBD products! Use code DOLLY for % off of your order!>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and then a good night’s sleep! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
<I actually got eight hours, which pretty much never happens!>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How much sleep do you usually get? If you are anything like me, or have a career like mine, this is a touuuuchy subject!! Am I right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I usually average about 5 to 6 hours but shoot for 7 if I can. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The truth is, being chronically sleep-deprived th...
