Before I had a child of my own, these were the concerns I was aware of: lack of sleep, weight gain, lack of hygiene, and any other things you can no longer do once the baby arrives. What I was not prepared for was the complete and total lack of time to do anything other than care for the child. And while that is always my number one priority, it still feels like a big loss. It is the lack of free time that has stood in the way of staying calm, present, and connected to myself – which is where Josephine Atluri comes in. She’s the author of the Mindfulness Journal for Parents, to help caregivers transform and enrich their parent-child relationship and, as a natural consequence, their relationship with themselves. She has helped thousands of people overcome their adversity to find joy.
