I am just finishing a fantastic day off of the world, and I look forward to it every week. No phone calls, no appointments, nowhere to be, and sometimes I even sleep in as my husband takes the kids to the synagogue. Today I decided to take my kids all around to see friends, and then we met my husband for a celebratory meal for a new baby girl. I love that my kids understand how important a Day of Rest is, and that they enjoy dressing nice every week, walking only, no driving, and a complete day off of electronics, it really feels like a break from the world.
I love being on stage, I love being listened to, I love being a leader, I love dressing nice, I love leading a class, I love attention - when I am ready for it, and I want to be on. I remember before marriage and children, I would be on most of the time, and then I would just take a lot of naps to recharge. Since naps a a rare luxury, I really make an effort to take time for myself, and luckily I do recharge when I teach my classes and support my Doula clients.
I watch my kids and kids in general how they are really on all the time, and I guess it depends on the age as well. It is just so amazing to me that they can be in camp from 8am-6pm, and then come home and still be full of energy, and it is a good thing, Thank God for their energy, but boy do I count the hours until bedtime.
When my kids were in school, I would always be in awe of the high energy of the kids when they were on the playground, in the classroom they would listen, but then when they were set free into the wild, wow! I just cannot imagine operating in ON mode all the time. I have always been into the concept and practice of balance, and a little bit of everything, and excess once in a while is moderation. Also when they are in an environment that they have to listen and have structure, coming home is an unwinding, letting go, release, lucky parents!
Tomorrow I start out my day with a photo shoot for my website, ohh how I love getting serviced, and getting my makeup done. I am ready to work it! After that I am taking my kids to meet a good friend that is in town in Santa Monica, on the sand, we have a lot of new sand toys we have not used yet. Then running home and taking my mother in law for another session with my friend roland, www.rolandhealinghands.com. She had surgery on both feet and has had unbearable pain since December, she has not been able to sleep, after one session she told me that 75% of her pain was gone. Please message me or get in touch if you want to know more about him or if you know anyone that is not well or has health issues.
Feel Good My Friends,
Coach Yulia
