Through movement, mindset, and nourishment, it was possible to overcome life's biggest hurdles for Jessica Gershman to ultimately achieve being The Zen Mom. A yoga teacher and an overcomer of eating disorders, Jessica gives women hope that it is possible to live in joy and daily peace.
👉🏼 Tune in to the new episode of the Divorced Woman's Guide —Mindfulness Tips And Tricks And How To Be More Present In Your Life with Jessica Gershman.
Top points you'll discover:
✔️ We're not coming up with new problems that others haven't encountered. Jessica emphasizes that it is important to find comfort that many others have already experienced everything you've experienced. Whatever you're going through in yourself and your relationships, it is wise to learn and ask for help from others. As much as it can be very isolating -- in reality, we are all in this together.
✔️ We give others care and compassion -- but how about ourselves? Many of us going through a divorce live in the land of bitterness, resentment, guilt and sadness. We prevent ourselves from entering the world of joy, peace and love because we're just so focused on the past. Don't let the valuable time you have now get wasted, and let life pass you by.
✔️ Mindfulness is the tool to bridge our head and our heart. Yoga and meditation are a big part of getting more present to what is here in the now. I would say that these are a great first step for anyone, especially as moms, to make ourselves a priority.
✔️ Yoga and meditation are called "practices" and not competition. The tight, confining, stringent expectations of women keep us from achieving our wellness goals. "Give yourself the grace to go through the human experience and take baby steps. Commit to creating a better life for yourself to recover from divorce, death and any suffering in some way."
✔️ When you are honest about your experience, your suffering or what you're going through -- you permit someone else to show up just as they are imperfectly perfect.
