Day 4

So today was long. I think days always feel longer when you're in physical pain, don't you? Anyways, baby girl was acting ornery all day, Andre was driving me crazy, I woke up with a headache, and the little baby I was watching today screamed at me all day. So yes today was lovely. I came across an article about an experiment and it sounds unbelievable but at the same time it makes sense. I think it's very relevant here. Dr. Masaru Emoto, is a Japanese researcher who conducted an experiment using water, rice, and positive and negative thoughts. He wanted to prove that human thought and emotion effects the environment around them. Here's the link on his experiment: http://themindunleashed.org/2014/01/scientific-proof-thoughts-intentions-can-alter-physical-world-around-us.html.

I honestly agree with his conclusion. What we think and feel does have an effect on the world around us; directly and indirectly. We reap what we sow. So yes even though, I had (what I thought) to be a bit of a bad day, I didn't have to act upon it. Sometimes, yes I get angry, yes I get upset, yes I am human. That's ok! It's ok to feel those emotions. What isn't ok, is to act upon them. So that's what I focused on today. Even though, I was upset, I focused on acting differently. No, I didn't just bottle up my emotions to let them sit and simmer till they boiled over like I usually do. Instead, I vented them out to my husband (I thank God every day for him) and then just left them there. I didn't re-contemplate what made me upset or why, I just let them go. Because they didn't matter. They were small and insignificant things that just didn't not matter. So now I'm going to focus on all the good things that did happen today. Like when I got to talk to my mom and about how she has been, and when I talked to my sister. Those were both good things. My baby girl, entertained me when she decided to play with her stuffed animals in her circus tent, happily squealing the entire time. And lastly, when my husband gave me some chocolate (it was very much needed, and it was dark). All these good things happened to me today and I am grateful for them. Love you all, till tomorrow!
