Precious and Lovely, Moments With Your Children

I wish if we could stop the moment.

Do you ever wish you could freeze the moments you have with your children? We cannot stop time, but we can slow down our days and learn how to treasure the precious moments we have together. Life can get busy for parents. It is all too easy to find yourself just going through the motions, moving mindlessly from one task to another, until you fall exhausted into your bed. Instead of feeling the moment with your children right-now.



Feel the moments you have right-now


I have found that one of the most effective ways to do this is to start living in the present, instead of focusing on all the things you need to do, put them aside and start enjoying the time right-now with your children.

I know – it’s a lot easier said than done.

We don’t live in a culture that encourages this kind of mindfulness. Still, if you can manage it even for a few moments a day, you will see a difference in your bonding with your children.



Get Started, Treasure the Precious Moments With Your Children.


  • The demands of keeping the to-do list aside and actually, realize that what you have accomplished so far is good enough for today. Then go and enjoy some time with your children. 
  • Disconnect from technology – turn off your phone, or the computer, or the television just for a little while. No matter how useful it is, technology will distract us from being present with our children.
  • Take the time to notice your children while they are still with you. Cherish every stage of childhood. Be conscious when your baby smiles at you, or how your preschooler’s hand feels in yours, the funny face your child makes when they are concentrating, or how your teenage daughter looks when talking animatedly about her day.
  • Treasure the moments you have together – as much as possible, by putting aside distraction also enjoy what you are doing together at the moment.
  • If you enjoy writing, use a journal to create a record of your days with your children. Write about the special moments you have with your children; record the funny and insightful things they say. Describe the way they looked. Similarly, if you enjoy Photography take photos and video of such moments.

7 Steps to Reclaim Your Life and Refocus on Your Goals

We all experience periods of dwindling motivation and drive. It's a gradual process that sparks a change within us. Now, you may find yourself lacking the motivation for your work and career that you once had. It's an uncomfortable situation as you look around and see others working hard, taking things seriously, and maintaining their drive to achieve their goals. That used to be you, but things now feel different. Photo by Renda Eko Riyadi from Pexels If you can relate to this, I want you to know that I've been in the same place. Honestly, I still am. Admitting this feels like revealing a secret because our culture places so much emphasis on drive and ambition that lacking them can feel like something to keep hidden. The truth is, I haven't had any motivation for a very long time. Losing it was scary and disorienting, but it turned out to be a gift. It forced me to examine what motivation is really about and uncover the true drive behind it. I believe that the concept...

Exercise Your Will Power | Motivational | Fitness motivation | Life Motivation

Willpower & Motivation When you know the habit you want to change, is it a matter of using your willpower to change it and your motivation to keep going?   Yes and no. Yes because when it comes to habits willpower and motivation both have an important role to play but they’re not enough on their own as there are limitations to be aware of.  Willpower is the power to exercise your will.  To have control over what you do and self-discipline.  But the thing about will power is you only have so much of it and when it runs out – because we’re tired or hungry or sad – it’s hard to rely on.  This is why you can wake up with good intentions and lots of willpower but by the evening it’s decidedly harder to exercise your will.  Although you can get better at exercising willpower the more we do it, your brain likes your habits so wants you to keep them.  So although willpower has a role to play in changing your habits, it can’t be relied on to do it alon...
