Salam Alaikum sisters. 🌸Hope you are feeling better and better Alhamdulillah.
Today about same thing, feeling HERE AND NOW. Just not from me. From my friend…
And her simple advice what actually is a great psychological advice.
“Lists lists, ticks, dashes, pluses. How many windows are open in your mind at once? How many times have you stared blankly at the drawing shown by the child, and analyzed the conversation with your colleagues. Stopped to buy cotton buds, spent €50…. Running through places you have to get to while driving and remembering you're driving. You realized that you don't remember anything from the holidays that you spent so much time preparing for, or you remembered during sex that you don't have anything for the children's lunches at school. "Be in the body, be in the body, be in the body," I repeat to myself out loud or in my mind every time I feel myself beginning to slide down the stairs of lists, down the corridors of catastrophic "what if" scenarios. "Be in the body", - I mutter like a prayer, when in my head, at full speed… "Be in the body", - I repeated to myself today, when Atum, holding my hand, showed me a spider spinning on a web, and I was somewhere, among unanswered letters.
Name three scents you can smell right now. The three sounds you hear now. Three things you feel with your heart and three things you feel with your body. Say 3 things that make you happy at this moment. Works like a charm every time. Like a magical spider's web that binds you to the second hand of a clock so that you don't rush forward and stay in the past. Try it. Works like a charm. Being here and now is one of the greatest gifts to yourself.”❤️
Do it! Just use this advice what helps to be here and now, in connection within yourself, your kids, spouses and helps you be conscious parent.
Have a wonderful day☀️
Salam Alaikum
