73. Daily Mindfulness Practices for Busy Moms with Josephine Atluri

In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly bombarded by so many things that distract us from being in the present moment. With so much that we can access within our fingertips, whether it’s social media, our computers, or the news, it can be really tough to tune into ourselves.  Truthfully, it can sometimes feel better to distract ourselves than to really dig deep to understand how and why we feel the ways that we do. It’s time that we all learned how to be a bit more mindful.  Mindfulness is so much more than meditation. It can help us manage our stress, fears, and anxieties. While we often think that we’re too busy to practice mindfulness, we’re not. There are various strategies that can be used throughout our busy days. Our guest today, Josephine Atluri is here to show us how. Josephine is an expert in meditation and mindfulness helping thousands of people overcome adversity to find joy.
