Red Room
The more I live in this body and experience these experiences, the more I understand who I am and what works best for me. I spent the first 30 years of my life figuring out what isn’t write for me, and I am now spending many years going forward figuring out what does. I now understand how to take care of myself in ways I’ve never experienced before. I now understand how to communicate in ways I have never experienced before. I now understand how to set and hold boundaries in ways I have never experienced before. It is incredible what life will teach you if you are willing to listen…
Observe Before Respond
I’m being reminded today to observe before I respond. There are so many scenarios in this house where I have the opportunity to respond to what the kids are doing in a way that would look like teaching from anyone outside. What I am recognizing is that sometimes when I step in and help or teach prior to allowing them to problem solve I sometimes create more problems rather than solve them.
Mind Meditation
I am noticing in my meditation, what a pull my mind has to try and find things and topics to work on that would be me initiating and creating frustration for myself. It wanted me to sort all of Paytons books into categories, which to my emotional center feels like something I’d proud of.
