5. Living in "the NOW".
So often we get caught up in the crazy rush of life, not taking a break to stop and see the beauty that is all around us. With my son, I wish I could freeze time. Staring at his tiny features, listening to his innocent cries and laughs, trying to soak it all in, as I am fully aware it will be gone too fast.
4. Patience and Understanding.
As a breastfeeding mom, it is difficult for my husband to get up in the night to care for the crying baby, so 99% of time, I am up all night feeding changing and rocking the baby back to sleep. And then as my husband works a full time job, 6 days a week...I am also the one home all day. I know they say to sleep when the baby sleeps...but only 1 out of 5 things is happening when my son sleeps during the day, and not one of them is sleep.
1. Take a much needed shower, as I have managed to be peed, pooped and thrown up all before 9am.
2. Cook and finally eat something.
3. Conquer the seemingly impossible and get dressed.
4. Clean up the pee, poop and throw up that managed to get on everything in the house
5. Try to accomplish some work from home.
So as you can imagine... out of 24 hours a day 6 days a week, my average sleep (for those 6 days) is about 24 hours (or less). So keeping my cool is quite important. Having a child has taught me how to instantly collect my thoughts and cool my frustration. Settling my fried emotions and understanding my son who needs me in those moments.
3. Intuition.
We are all connected, but a connection between a mother and her child is unpairable (if that is a word). Who doesnt wish to understand the wordless cries for help, and know what exactly is wrong? Tuning into your infants needs and "guessing" what is wrong, to soothe those tears away is an amazing and person exercise for intuition growth.
2. Relax and Breathe.
Cleaning the house, working from home, taking a shower, getting dressed, walking the dog, eating meals, going to the store, feeding the baby, changing the baby a single day is filled with an overload of things to keep you busy. But one look into my son's eyes, and everything else melts away. Suddenly those dirty dishes dont seem so important as I take a deep breath in and cherish the things that really matter.
1. Love.
This child of ours, is not our first, or second...but 3rd baby, and still I cannot imagine that there is any possible way there could fit more love in my heart, than I have for my children. Everyday I am overwhelmed...in the best of ways...with floods of love for my new baby and for my husband who I see getting lost in those tiny eyes as well. Arguments have gone to a minimal as we both (my husband and I) discovered the little things in life are really...not important. Does it matter if he left the toilet seat up again? Or that I have a trail of clothes across the floor? No...not anymore. When we get lost in the love of our child, all those things go away. We focus on what really matters...each other.
Mind. Body. Soul.
The time to awaken is now!
