The exercise for this week was pretty touching to me. As I repeated each sentence while remaining calm and quiet, I kept replaying the faces of my loved ones, the faces of the girls I teach softball too, as well as the people who are not my favorite. It was hard to wish something so nice to the ones I do not like, especially since I have been wronged from so many, but this exercise helped me realize that its not about how they hurt me, its how I take it and use it to make me stronger. I should penalize what the other person did because they might be going through something of their own.
For the second exercise, I focused more on my interpersonal health. Right now I feel like I am at war with myself. I catch myself in deep thought and my thoughts are all from my son being in school now, to how I am going to pay the bills or if I am going to be single forever. These thoughts are putting a damper on how I have been feeling. I want to aim for not thinking so much. My friends Grace is a counselor and she is always saying let life come to you, because life happens when your busy. I should just let go, and let things happen how they are ment to.
I know I am a strong, beautiful and great mother and person. I can get through anything as long as I allow myself to keep going, I know I will get through my life journey.

Hey Nicole,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a pretty awesome friend. That is awesome advice she gave you, that life does still go on while we are busy. I think this is something we all need to take on as advice. Letting life come to us is something that is going to be tough to learn. I struggle as well with that.
Equally, it sounds like you have an awesome somewhat indirect support system with the people you coach with softball. It seems like maybe that this sport is something you are passionate about. This being the case, search for the feeling you have while with your fellow athletes?.? Hard to find huh. I think our meditation practices could definitely help
Also, don’t let time slip away from that little one. As I am writing, I just heard my 3rd grader come in the door. Ask a bunch of questions about his days at school Nicole! You have a great gift to be thankful for just as I do!
Take care!
Ron.
