Healing Crystals, Meditation, Single-Parenthood for February

I don't really have a title for this post. I've been absent for about one month. I truly needed some time to reflect on where I am, who I am, and why I am here. I've been spending a fair amount of time meditating, manifesting, focusing, and understanding. Since my last post my 3 year old son has decided that he no longer needed to sleep at night, so the many up until 4AM nights caught up to me. Finally, he is sleeping through the night again. However, he still enjoys testing me. Fortunately the more I focus on myself the more I am able to match him.

I'm not going to lie to you, being a single working mother head of household one income mom to 2 dogs one of which is sick is very hard. My biggest struggle lately has been not so much as 'finding time' to focus on myself, but changing the way I spend my time. Our morning routine can be daunting if I'm not in a proper mental state. From the moment I wake up I am faced with a series of 'stay calm stay calm stay calm' moments. Feeding my son, my dogs, giving Archer his medication, getting my son dressed, etc. seems to take so long sometimes that I can't believe I'm able to find time to get myself dressed, as well as driving 30 miles back and forth each day to drop my son off at Pre-School.

That has all changed. Using the month of February to Self-Reflect has had a drastic positive impact on my life. First and foremost, I've learned how to change my own thought patterns. I literally have been listening to meditation music that repeats the mantra 'I have all the time in the world.' I really needed to hear that. The mornings have been so peaceful! I've actually been able to sip and enjoy my coffee while it is hot.

I always think that I'm so different because I have to go the extra mile just to find peace. I've felt for most of my life that people don't understand me. I thought wrong. There are other people out there who are like me. I've learned to use the power of thought, with the help of healing stones (Opalite is my favorite), Adventurine, Howlite, Tiger Eye, and a few more to my advantage. I've learned how to be happy again.

Slowing Down Can Help Avoid Creating a Disaster - Rage

Every decision you make could be made from either somewhere in the knee- jerk realm of your unconscious or with the unmitigated, laser-focused precision of the present moment. Yes. Every. Single. Decision. I’m talking about from the pants you choose, to the socks you select, to the choice to sit or stand while putting that stuff on. Yes, you even have the option to greet the mail lady who is delivering yet a certified letter from the Tax Man in full-on, bat-shit rage mode or not. I understand, full-on, bat-shit rage mode doesn’t feel like a choice. But I have learned, or rather with effort, retrained my knowing that I can choose. As I said in my last article (thank you, Community, for your encouragement BTW!), when I have hit my limit of victim thinking that I am at the mercy of assholes, I realize I am not at mercy of anyone! I am only making the choice to listen to the voice of anxiety and not the grounded one of my empowered self. This means that no one, not my boss, not the...

Anxiety is what happens when you feel like you've lost control of everything; but that’s only a feeling, and you can make it go away by taking that control back

Anxiety is what happens when you feel like you've lost control of everything; but that’s only a feeling, and you can make it go away by taking that control back. How? Control the things you can control. M y ex had me going insane. Constantly cancelling on his visitations with our son, cherry picking when he would see him, etc. And people at work kept pinging me asking ‘When.’ I had orders coming in for Amazon because I bought them when I was feeling anxious, but when they got to the house I became even more anxious because I forgot why I bought them. I haven’t made enough time in my day to sit down and go through my to-do list. This makes me crazy. I would end up with a million items on the list, but never mark them complete. I was so anxious at the lake that I couldn’t feel my legs, I collapsed.    There were external factors- the ragweed in the air fucks with my allergies. I only feel this way in September . I feel like I Can’t breathe – I took the Benadryl to...
