We are imperfect moms, living in an imperfect world. Not all of your "Me Time" experiences will be Zen-like. Rosas shares 4 "Yeah-But excuses that trip up moms around the world, and she offers tips to get beyond them.
Yeah-But #1: Interruptions
A new routine takes time. "I noticed when I let frustration and annoyance arise within me without action, these challenging emotions actually dissolved as quickly as they arose. I am able to replace 'CAN'T YOU SEE MOMMY'S TRYING TO HAVE SOME ME TIME!' with a calm reminder to my kids of what this time means to me. Now, I find my kids are more understanding and accepting of the process."
Yeah-But #2: I already have a relaxation routine.
"10 Min. Almost Daily Me Time" is a practice of sitting, observing your thoughts and emotions, and noticing how they feel within your body. It's a practice that can continue throughout your day. You will begin to pause before reacting. This opens the space to positively respond to a situation more aligned with your true self.
Yeah-But #3: I can't possibly sit still that long.
You may first notice your mind is full of chatter and distraction. However, as time goes on, a whole new perspective will come to light. In fact, the busier your day, the more you will wish to pause for additional "Me Time" moments.
Yeah-But #4: I'm not looking for something spiritual.
"10 Min. Almost Daily Me Time" is about sitting with yourself in the stillness of the moment. As you allow negative thoughts, emotions, and judgments to dissolve, you will find yourself more compassionate, joyful, and serene. Anyone can benefit from heart-fully responding to whatever life brings.
Whether it's messy rooms or little ones barging in on her while she's in the bathroom, Rosas finds herself replaying a mountain range of negative stories in her mind. It can become exhausting putting everyone's needs first only to feel as though no one seems to listen.
"By taking 10 minutes almost every day, I'm able to sit with those mountainous stories and allow them to dissolve into manageable molehills," says Rosas.
Rosas defines these mountains as any attachment to a person or event that brings up strong emotion. When we experience strong emotions, we become inflexible and unable to see another perspective to a situation. This black and white perception prevents us from taking action that represents our true self.
"By sitting with who you are right now, you can begin to fully embrace the colorful world of motherhood with joy and acceptance," she says.
