I was probably over thinking it, trying to go all Zen. What's worked for me it to sit cross legged on pillows, close my eyes, and count my breaths from 1 to 10 and then back down to 1. I just repeat that until the alarm goes off (10 or 15 minutes). Seems so simple but it really has made a huge difference when I do it regularly. <br />Good luck!Big City Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026342162175331927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635390275830964616.post-63717640319827528202009-11-15T16:53:28.272-05:002009-11-15T16:53:28.272-05:00I'm so glad that when the ex makes you friggin...I'm so glad that when the ex makes you friggin' nuts and you wonder what the hell you were thinking having a child with her, that your baby will never fail to remind you of the all-pervasive joy she's here to bring you. Theo is that reminder for me every day. <br /><br />I've been utterly lacking in my meditative practice. For a very long time (and it's showing). Must make time for that again on a daily basis ASAP. Thanks for the "reminder".Single Mama NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07598244426035959968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635390275830964616.post-65538491451510356212009-11-14T18:21:18.734-05:002009-11-14T18:21:18.734-05:00I love how spending time with my girls reminds me ...I love how spending time with my girls reminds me about what's truly important in life. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635390275830964616.post-80659416339137866222009-11-14T12:31:32.072-05:002009-11-14T12:31:32.072-05:00Isn't it funny how some time with your own chi...Isn't it funny how some time with your own children can have a way of healing so much. For us (my four and I) we love to pull every blanket and pillow out that we can find and have a movie night complete with popcorn. The kids love this because they know I'll fall asleep before they do. If I manage to make it to the end of the movie, they start watching me because they know I'll cry. It has become our little comedic family ritual: Do we get to laugh at mom falling asleep or crying at a movie that wasn't even sad tonight? LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
