re - emerging from a silent week joining the #blacklivesmatter ✊🏿#amplifymelanatedvoices movement ... muted & listening... I’ve been reflecting this time on how to better contribute to cultivate kindness, empathy, compassion & racial justice with myself & those around me & how to plant these seeds in the way I want to educate my child, here I share some insights on what has come through this time of reflection & learning: . ✌🏾I plan to share mindful, quality time with my child, doing things that make me feel good physically & mentally & contribute to my wellbeing - be it yoga, meditation, exercise, walks in nature, etc. - it is important that our little ones know that their parents need to reset & relax & they learn how to release tension & relax with us! Because bottom line, when we offer ourselves time to relax & replenish, we are better people. . . ✌🏾be kind with myself & others - be mindful of the way i speak to myself & others around me, it’s not always easy but as everything it is a habit & a practice that i can cultivate & set as an example since very early. . ✌🏾zero tolerance towards #microracism comments/ statements around me, ALWAYS speak up when someone or myself expresses racists affirmations even if they are jokes, saying i don’t agree & explain to my little one why... . . ✌🏾expose my child to diversity through music, books, activities, friendships, etc. explain where people/things come from & why they are unique so that my little one learns to appreciate diversity since early on... . mamas/ dads/ caretakers/ everyone... what other ways do you actively reject racism in your households? I’d love lo know 🖤 please do share in comments 🙏🏾 . 📷 @mirko_francesconi #positiveeducation #fuckracism #mumandbaby #mindfulmama #mumandbabyyoga #yogimama #loveisapractice #yogababy #teachthemyoung #babylove #diversity #motherhoodyoga #mom #zulunayoga #yoga #babyyoga #yogaformums #yogababy #raisinggoodhumans #mama #parenting #mothering #mindfulparenting #stopracism #raisinggoodkids #mindfulchildren
