Published: Sept. 26, 2016, 7 a.m.

I had an entirely different episode ready to record for you.\xa0But then I found myself in a parking lot cranky as all get out, fighting with 26 mylar balloons in the wind and a new episode came over me.\xa0\n\xa0\nI suck at living in the moment.\xa0Big time.\xa0When I got pregnant the first time, I was excited, yes.\xa0And I was also immediately panicked about how I would ever get pregnant again since the first time took forever and I was already ummmm, old-ish.\xa0I\u2019ve always been really good at worrying about things years in advance.\xa0\n\xa0\nYesterday, right after my Mylar Moment, I turned on exactly the podcast I needed to hear in that moment \u2013 100% unintentionally. It was a Chalene Johnson podcast about family/work balance that really spoke to me \u2013 especially the parts about living in the moment.\xa0As it turns out Chalene also struggles with that.\xa0We\u2019re basically twins.\n\xa0\nListen in to hear my 4 tips on how to Be Here Now. Mostly.\xa0\n\xa0\n*Implement Time Blocking\n*Improve your Mental/Emotional Prioritization and Separation\n*Stop Mind Hustling (you know you do it!)\n*Make a Family Plan with Clear Expectations\n\xa0\nLinks Mentioned:\n\xa0\nChalene Johnson Build Your Tribe Podcast (select How to Balance Family and Business)\n\xa0\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
