Most of we know is how to GRIND.
After coming off of night shift for days off, I noticed right away, my kids did not care that I was tired.
Their lives do not change if I am tired but only if I allowed it.
See I just worked 12 nights and picked the kids up at their mom's the next day.
All I wanted to do was sleep but there was no time for that when I only have 2 and half days with the kids before returning to work.
How does one manage that and be present with the kids with all of that going on and want to make great memories for the short time I am with them?
One way I do that is by meditation.
Yeah....I said meditation.
In that space I am able to regulate.
To see things for what they are.
See instead of getting short with the kids or angry because of I am tired, I am able to see what is truly important.
Being raised in a locker room, I felt I was never able to think this and see life what it was for.
For one, no one showed me how....and 2....no one gave me permission.
My kids get all of me and have me present on days off.
To learn how that is done and why it is important....
Sit back and relax and listen to TODAY'S TALE FROM THE TRENCH.
