Mindfulness interrupted

@Lostnconfused87 I like to do mindfulness right when I wake up or right before I go to sleep.

That sounds like it could be really frustrating! I think it is great that you are trying to practice mindfulness and I hope you are able to find a way that it works best for you! When being interrupted during a mindfulness session it can sometimes be really hard to get back into that state of mind that wants to focus on mindfulness exercises - as someone who lives in a house with much younger children (although I am not a mum!) I understand that sometimes our focus can be interrupted or disturbed at just the wrong time. There could be many different ways to regain this focus or maybe have it not interrupted in the first place, unfortunately (like most things) different techniques work for different people so it can be hard to share techniques.

There are always the short mindfulness exercises that 7Cups offers that hopefully are short enough to last without any interruption!

Following on from the point above - have you ever tried doing it at a time when it can be mostly guaranteed quiet such as right in the morning or just before going to bed? This can work for some people as it can either start or end their day on a good and mindful note - for others they prefer to do it during the day to help them refresh!

I really hope you're able to find a way to practice your mindfulness peacefully and maybe something in this community could help you! Good luck

What if you shift your perspective and view those interruptions as part of your mindfulness experience. You could try to really be in that moment and reflect on how your kid needs you and how your reactions to them will greatly influence them. Also you could pair that with gratitude by thinking how much your kid had grown as a result of your influence on them.
