Day 106 - Booking

I have a booking for a workshop.

It was suggested as a swap to host her Tupperwear party in exchange for one of my workshops.

Now to dig out the workshop materials...

Day 74 - Happy New Year

As a happy new year to myself, I started the day putting on the Magnify Your Purpose oil, and used Joy oil as perfume to go out for the morning.

In the haze of recovering from late night and early morning start, this afternoon I opened my first email reminder of the 100 day journal from The Business Bakery. Since I haven't created or thought about goals for this year, the best place to start was to write today's entry.

Speaking of 100, I'm almost there with writing my 100th entry. I have enough posts now to start sorting through the tags and observing my topics. Along with this blog, the dinosaur drawings, and the short stories I'm creating, it's going to be a busy productive year.

I also found this gem posted by Jen Ward, to which I wrote the words on separate pages. Awakeness and baby allowing, I will complete filling out the pages in the next few days.

TECHNIQUE:  

Tap in Your New Year Intentions: Make a list of these words down the right hand of a piece of paper: Joy, Love, Abundance, Freedom, Health, Success, Security, Companionship, Peace, Life and Wholeness. Write down next to each one, what would bring you the greatest amount of each. For example, for joy, it may mean spending more time with your children or being around more animals. It will be different for everyone. After you have all the sentences, Convert them into sentences. Use these sentences as taps and tap them into your psyche. If you need to formulate them, into things you want to manifest, write them like this:  

"I make space in this world for _____________; in all moments"
"I remove all blockages to manifesting ____________; in all moments"
"I stretch my capacity to manifest and accept ____________; in all moments:

Card of the Day:

Polar Bear: "Stand up for yourself and speak your truth respectfully and compassionately, with no attachment to outcome."

Day 58 - Mirror Mirror

As a divergence for grumpy baby, I got a compact mirror out. I brought it up close where I could only see my eyes, and sometimes just one eye.

"I love you."
"Thank you for being in my life."
"It's lovely to know you."
"I am willing to be your friend."

Baby wanted in on the action immediately. She recognises her reflection now, and most of the time enjoys seeing herself. As I pointed the mirror at her, I repeated the statements on her behalf.

"I love you."
"Thank you for being in my life."
"It's lovely to know you."
"I am willing to be your friend."

And also:

"Thank you for becoming my child."

Having a small mirror means I am removing all the extra judgments I may be holding at the time, about my appearance, my accomplishments and failures, my past in general, other people's opinions of me. And anything else that may enter my field of vision that may detract from seeing me. I am only looking at my eyeballs. Sometimes just the one eyeball, and talking to them one at a time.

Day 45 - Slow Down

Not knowing baby's distress distresses me. The hopelessness of not-knowing. The I-don't-know's of biological technicalities. Unsureness of safety for infant (all the things I use for myself). Google is great for almost-instant answers. Sometimes answers doesn't come quick enough.

But there are always solutions, or at least attempts towards solving it. Recognising that this is the best I can do at the moment.

I found another ant trail entry, which meant I could spray vinegar in two locations and wipe the walls with eucalyptus oil. Coming to acceptance that it will have to do until I can find where the peppermint disappeared to.

I can't fix baby's sweat rash and insect bites, but I can help her cope.

Deciding that today will be a day of caring for us both.

Oddly enough she calmed down, once I calmed down.

I can dance to music with her.

I can read out eft sentences to her.

We can both have a cooling bath later.

It's okay to slow down, not everything is urgent.
