‘Mindful Thoughts for Mothers is the perfect present for mums everywhere. It explores a mother’s world, helping the reader to hold a sense of the “bigger picture” while being present in the day-to-day.’ - Mental Health Foundation

‘The opposite of hardline, hectoring motherhood manuals, this charmingly illustrated hardback takes a gentle meander through the motherhood journey.’ - Waitrose Weekend

Mindful Thoughts for Mothers brings mindful awareness to important moments on the mothering journey.

Part of the Mindful Thoughts series, this beautifully illustrated little book meditates on all aspects of motherhood, including:

The first few months
Your identity as a mother
Tantrums
Teenagers
Boundaries and compromise
…and many more

Motherhood is one of the most wonderful and powerful experiences we can have in life. As the early years of our children’s lives unfold, we will undoubtedly experience the joys they bring, but will also encounter the stresses and demands that appear daily and nightly on the parenting path. Using mindfulness practice to manage these demands we can become more present and meet life with awareness, in the moment. These 25 focused reflections on motherhood will help you find greater self-understanding and enable you to navigate a mindful path along this exciting journey.

From the Publisher


Love - A Beginning Without End From pregnancy on, we are forever linked to each of our children in some way, even as they grow older and live independently.	The Imperfect Mother Show me a 'perfect mother' and I will show you a 'perfect child'... but we may have to look very hard to find either of them because the truth is they just don't exist.	Gratitude We mothers understand something about life's miraculous gift that is unique to ourselves. Touching upon intense and perhaps fragile places during childbirth and throughout childrearing can enable us to see clearly what is important to us.	Celebration and Presence You are a mother. You are raising, or have raised, another human being to adulthood. Have you ever paused to fully acknowledge yourself for this monumental task?

Mindful Thoughts for Mothers

Mindful Thoughts for Mothers is a book that all mums can dip into for a positive and peaceful outlook to support their practice of mindfulness. This beautiful and compact book presents 25 meditative lessons, from taking a moment to appreciate all your hard work, to realising that no one is perfect and we all make mistakes, but that this isn't the end of the world.

The perfect gift for the mother in your life.

Be Kind to Yourself

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2020

Forbes walks us through the big themes of motherhood: love, sleep deprivation; finding your tribe;
identity; guilt; drudgery; boundaries; and conflict. She remind us to examine the archetypes and the expectations and see them for what they are - constructs. Her message is simple - be kind to yourself and see how this affects your family.
I only give this book four stars because the illustrations are terrible.
The message is a good one though and this will make a lovely mother’s day or new mother gift.
