Day 69 - GIFTS FROM THE FARM - BREATH MOVEMENTS.

another point I would like to share here is the point of moving within breath.

one time, someone needed assistance in raking the freshly cut grass outside. so she went ahead and asked another person living at the farm for help. I noticed that, immediately, the person that was asked did not question, oblige or make and excuses, she simply say yes to the request and off she went, grabbed a rake and begun raking the grass. this is just one of the many instances that I noticed people move so effortlessly whenever it came to assisting and supporting each other in doing that which needed to be done until it was done.

For me, being a mother of 2 babies, a toddler and an infant, it is without question that life with raising babies is always unpredictable and thus, I always need to be ready in each moment of breath to move in such a way that, all that is of priority in a given moment must be done and finished without questioning or making excuses or delays. this is for example when it comes to minor incidents like breaking glass, or spilling some liquids or changing diapers, wiping vomit or burped up milk etc. these are some of the things that can happen any time with children and thus, I found it for me very important that I move within a breath/immediately after the occurrence of the event and do that what needed to be done until it was done. 

in previous times, there's are many instances that I did respond to such unexpected occurrences in my reality from within the starting point of emotions like anger, irritation, frustration and of course the backchats that triggered such emotions were; 'oh no, you did that again' 'why did you do that?' 'oh no not again' 'now I have to clean/tidy up again' 'why cant you listen/understand not to do that again?'.
So myself like many other mothers generated all these emotions when it came to fulfilling certain tasks especially when I had to do them over and over again. looking at such cenarios realistically, if its milk that has been spilt, it has been spilt, if its a galass that has been broken, its done, if its vomiting that has happepend, it has happened and therefore, I realized that, it was absolulety unnecessary for me to participate within the backchats that lead to my experience of the emotions of frustration, anger, irritation, disappointment etc. These reactions in no way change the reality of a given moment but only just make it worse for example
