I had a similar day yesterday (I am blaming the moon) and beat myself up about it for a long time last night. You have no idea how much I needed to be reminded to live in the moment today.

I find my "lashing out" time to be in the mornings when we're rushing to get to school/work, the least favorite time for me and I feel the pressure to get to work on time. And it's hard to rush a 6 year-old.<br /><br />I'm a practicing yogi too so I can also relate to where you turn for comfort and inspiration. Thanks for the post!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339148870059085581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-25600685908421325922009-09-03T13:46:43.368-05:002009-09-03T13:46:43.368-05:00lovely post and as other readers stated... right w...lovely post and as other readers stated... right when i needed it. i've noticed lately that my little beaming ballerina is really reactive and i want to blame my husband and then i realize we're all reactors waiting to go off in a way... blame is just bla with out me, right? if i'm pointing out 3 fingers are pointing back to me... he reacts, she reacts, i react... i feel like we need a big cool, damp, heavy blanket to slow, cool and relax us... i'm trying to keep that feeling in mind... slow, cool, relax and hope that she picks up on that. <br /><br />thanks for your honest and open approach here...<br />xoxo<br />julAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358559217588335603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-55143626559099895202009-09-03T08:54:36.110-05:002009-09-03T08:54:36.110-05:00A humble thank you to you all.

It means so much to me to have you wonderful mamas to turn to for cyber hugs, support and advice. I am excited - and relieved - to be committing to this task of mindful parenting with the support of Yogic teachings. It feels right. I feel ready.Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01584878249959334936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-21914588545042354732009-09-03T04:17:56.901-05:002009-09-03T04:17:56.901-05:00Parallel lives.

Would you mind having a companion along the way because I could use some of those. And I think you need to write that book.<br />Today I'll begin again too.
