These techniques will help you connect with your unborn baby even if you are racing to different parties, cooking the Christmas lunch and wrapping endless presents.
It’s the time of year when the diary is full of lovely get-togethers with family and friends and celebrating is the name of the game. But all this having fun can mean it’s more difficult to do the one special thing that you can do this year more than any other – spend some quality time with your bump!
‘Mindfulness will help you focus on the present moment rather than being distracted by the world around you,’ explains health psychologist and mindfulness teacher Dr Elizabeth Sparkes. ‘It will help you enjoy your Christmas but also bring your attention back to yourself and your baby every day. And so, even when you’re caught up in the season, you’ll be aware of your baby and bonding with him.
These techniques will help you connect with your unborn baby even if you are racing to different parties, cooking the Christmas lunch and wrapping endless presents: ‘They all work, some even in a room full of other people,’ promises Elizabeth.The turkey’s arriving in half an hour and the washing up is bubbling away in the machine, which means you and your bump have 10 minutes spare to reconnect. Mindful breathing can help you do this, anytime and anywhere.
If you find yourself getting distracted, refocus. ‘Each time you get distracted by a thought, bring yourself back to your breath. Imagining the sound of a ticking clock will help,’ suggests Elizabeth.However hectic your Christmas is, you can find time to do the ‘three step’ exercise, which takes just three minutes. ‘You can do it anywhere, and no one even needs to know,’ says Elizabeth.
