So many times you may feel you're going in the right direction because of what you thought or what you decided to do and yet it doesn't really feel like the correct way to go. For some reason there's hesitation, you might be having more questions and inner dialogue inside of you, and you want to step forward but you are a having a tough time proceeding.

Are you assuming that you are going in the right direction?
Or
Did you ask all the pertinent questions that you could in the moments you needed to?

I remember times in the NICU when I was assuming things - like what time Skye was going to have more blood work done or that his little stomach wasn't handling the amount of milk they were pumping into the tubes so he would just spit it up. I was angry.

Looking back I know now that I didn't always ask questions. I would either get upset with anger that would come out as tears or I would have a bit of a fit in my husband's company and then he would go and ask the questions. He was always so ...

So many times we take our breath, our lungs and our body for granted and recently I've had a lot of conversations around anxiety and having too much going on.

Interestingly enough, when I ask what people are doing to care for themselves they often don't say breathing.

Now I know it's easy to say to take a breath and not always easy to remember it in the moments you need it, however, if you practice while you're in a good headspace then remembering the tools when you need them will come more naturally.

In this vlog, I remind you of some ways to use breath as a tool with Box breathing, Belly breathing and Back breathing.

You may have heard of all these, you may not have. Either way, remember yourself and how you can care for your body that takes so much good care of you all the time.

Love you tons!

I totally gapped out this week and didn't send my people the regular email that I send out. Oops! 

It got me thinking about forgiving myself and also how, when life comes at you, distractions are everywhere and things just don't get done that are in your regular wheelhouse.

Milestones are another one of these things that really get me frustrated. Why does everything have to be on time?! 

I understand why milestones are there and how our little babes are watched. I am grateful for the care that comes with some of the voices. But when a practitioner is pushy about it and not forgiving or not adjusting to the birth v. corrected ages and you're already stressed and exhausted and overwhelmed... Why does being "on time" have to take so much precedence?! 

Our preemies have come into this world on their own schedule and have showed us a different way right from the beginning. Watching them grow in their own ways and having them teach us on what patience, Love and forgiveness are really abo...

Honestly, we all have anxiety at one time or another. Some live with it as a constant that balloons up and then recedes again. And others have it burst out as if to say, "Remember me?"

You experience anxiety differently than I do, and we all lead different lives. Figuring out how to build a relationship with anxiety for our own good is key.
