ashley graham is my new idol. Nothing is sexier than a woman fully embrace herself and have a great sense of humor.
Reading and watching No Impact Man
Kids love to dance to Moana (although they refuse to watch the movie) and Sing soundtracks.

Self love
Posted in 媽媽的大頭症 on 三月 17, 2017| Leave a Comment »
I learned this term from a YouTuber this week and it hit me- I used to “treat" myself with a new clothes or with a new handbag. I thought I was taking care of myself, but in fact, I was never paying attention to what I need, what my body and mind need. Every time I coveted something, I had a new goal. I reached a goal by acquiring a new item. And then I began my search for the next one. 追求是無止盡的, 因為我總是會找到更新更好的東西, 而且漸漸的，買到想要的東西得到的喜悅也越來越不強烈.
但這一年因為減少社群網站和減少購物, 多了時間給自己和家人, 我發現, 與其說是感覺更快樂，不如說感覺更平靜. 當然生活上還是會有煩惱的事情, 但我學會觀察情緒, 提醒自己"respond, don’t react." 即使當下心浮氣躁，也學著讓自己退後一步，沉澱再出發。這是我過去一直在追求的, 卻是在開始declutter, 接觸minimalism和meditation後才發現自己終於在往那方向前進.
上個月開始試著早上做十分鐘的Headspace meditation, 和十分鐘的瑜珈, 這周再加上晚餐新後十五分鐘的在家走路, 我視為這總加起來不到50分鐘的時間為每天的"self-love." 偶爾給自己買個喜歡的東西是件好事, 但是珍惜自己是每天的事情. 難免我在做瑜珈時有個小男孩想要過山洞, 或是冥想時另一個小孩的鬧鐘響, 我抱著"了勝於無"的心情, 即使是半調子, 還是一定要做。萬事起步難, 一旦開始, 有一天就會達到, 無論有多遠.
what is important

sometimes I think I am too much of an introvert and wonder if I should push myself reaching out more. Then I got an email from an old friend, who is in town for a week. My heart burst with joy as I was replying her email. I told her I’d love to meet with her whenever possible.
This is the feeling that I experience nowadays. When something feels right and a thousand yes is filled up my brain, I can feel my heart smiling.
So that reminds me: I don’t need to have everything in the world. I already have what is important to me in my life.
on a separate subject: at the start of this week, S has been saying that we will wear green on Friday, St. Patrick’s day. Therefore we all wear green today. I thought, we are not Irish, but I bit my tongue not say anything. I enjoy watching her. 🙂
2017 Week 10: Morning Routine
Posted in 媽媽的大頭症 on 三月 6, 2017| Leave a Comment »
平常上班日的作息：
小幫浦最近都在我房間睡（牛牛陪弟弟在他的房間睡），早上她的鬧鐘6:18響，兩分鐘後我的鬧鐘響。賴床的時間順便做Headspace 十分鐘的meditation。聽到牛牛攪咖啡豆聲音就知道該起床了。起床後到塌塌米房做十分鐘的早晨瑜珈。
全家一起吃早餐，小幫浦梳洗、準備自己的午餐。
牛牛陪小幫浦上學，我在家簡單整理廚房、坐馬桶、舗床（make bed)。弟弟之前會利用這段時間看電視，現在則選擇玩玩具，這樣晚上才能看電視。自己穿衣服（但媽媽需要在場幫忙選衣服）。
牛牛回來，再準備一下，幫弟弟刷牙，三人一起上學上班去。
