Happy Muslim Mama: Living In The Present

Today all I did was cook, clean, tidy and look after the children. Usually I do this in a panic and thinking about what I could be doing instead. But today I just did these things and enjoyed them. I think that’s called “living in the present”. I suspect I need to stay in this frame of mind more often if I am to find peace and true satisfaction with what I have. I do not mean to find myself in a position where I have been so anxious about creating the best or ideal future that I have missed the most beautiful moments of my children of growing up.
