While the act of replacing a negative thought with a positive one is simple in theory, in practice, it’s a lot harder to do. Jessica shares how she manages her mindset and guides her children as she teaches them to do the same. You’ll also hear what self care doesn’t have to include, and what it truly consists of, before Jessica leaves us with an encouraging message that we are worth finding a little bit of zen in our lives! Tune in to hear more today.

“If you’re stuck in, what I call with my kiddos, ‘stinking thinking’, try to think of something that you are grateful for. Even just starting with a sunny day, or having breath in your lungs, or having an able body to walk and run and hug your children.” — Jessica Gershman [0:01:25]

“Can you take five minutes out of your day for meditation? For just stillness, putting the phone away, putting the devices away, turning off Netflix, and just sitting with your emotions.” — Jessica Gershman [0:02:05]
