Wishful Thinking

He does not  want to go to sleep, so I put
him to work helping me load the laundry

Follow your gut! I always say, and be clear about what you want and go for it.  I was asking someone the other day if they believed in God, and they said no.  The reason I was asking is because in Judaism, you really let go and let God, you know everything is ultimately out of your hands.  This is especially important in labor and birth, we really have no control, and when we surrender, go with it, breathe, and get in touch deep within ourselves, 99.9% of the time things go smoothly, because the body and the baby know exactly what to do.

I am very connected to how I feel, and when something doesn't feel right, I usually avoid it.  I haven't always avoided my gut, and even wrong paths are lessons after all.  Recently I was in a situation where I really wanted a different outcome, and everyone I talked to I explained why I wanted a different outcome.  All of my wishful thinking brought on a different outcome.  Sometimes we commit to things, and of course there is our word, our professionalism, and our integrity.  Life however has a way of just happening, and I really trust that things will just be and I want to fully observe the phenomenon.




I am so grateful my husband took the kids to synagogue and let me sleep in a quiet house today. Once they all got home, the kids were mellow, which is rare, they relaxed, they got me some books to read, and for a moment I was thinking, wow, is it going to be like this from now on.

I am happy I had that moment because as soon as I was basking in it, everything changed, whining, crying, wanting to go outside, and then all got worked out, our neighbors were so happy to see us, and we had a play date the rest of the day, and my husband got a quiet house for the rest of the afternoon.

Back to the wishful thinking, it made me reflect on how my whole life has been an amazing connection of adventures that I was seeking, and things that I really wanted came to be.  Not all the time but definitely most of the time.  I think the following three things are the same, maybe a different approach, a different consciousness, but overall it is a positive focus towards your deep desires, wants, needs, and wishes.

• Wishful Thinking
• The Law of Attraction
• Prayer

Whichever way you approach it is personal, but pick one, because these are all positive ways to go through life.  I have never understood why do it any other way.  Life is tough, and that is the point, the breakthroughs are the natural high.  If there is a medical or genetic condition, then there are different ways to get support.  It is so amazing how everything is about mindset, and support really helps keep us on track.  I always say in my Yoga classes that the words "I can't" do not exist in Yoga, hopefully not in life either, but definitely not in Yoga.  You say, wow this is challenging, or I will try my best, and just do what feels good for you, it is ultimately figuring out the form and alignment of your own neuromuscular system.

That is your deep connection to it all,
