Every night any or all of these women send out a group emailing listing 5 idigs and a little nuggest (food for thought) to everyone else.
It has changed my life.
All day long I am thinking about my idigs, looking for sources of inspiration in nature, my friends, my family, perfect strangers. Every day I am thinking about what I am grateful for. And everyday, and this is especially helpful on days where I wake up tired, upset, or in a funk, I jump ahead in my mind to the end of the day and think about what I want my idigs to be. Does that make sense? For example, a month ago I felt overwhelmed, tired, burnt out, and such on mothering two little ones all day everyday. I woke up one thursday and thought to myself, "crap what am I doing to do with K and C all. day. long. and then I thought about our idig group, and immediately my attitude changed. I realized that my day was just that: My day, and I can make it or break it.
So here are my idigs for today:
1. Meeting up with Ellie, Jed, and baby Madeline tomorrow at the Oakland zoo, and the love and understanding ellie and I have for each other which allows me to have nothing but great thoughts about spending the day with her (in other situations I feel nervous about others judging me, charlie not being "obediant" or "perfect" But with great friends like Ellie I can fully just be who I am. and I dig that.
2. Feeling playful and calm with my children, and accepting that things may not always go the way I want them to, and then being pleasantly surprised when they do go the way I want them to.
3. Charlie being so sweet, thoughtful, smart, curious, and really using the language I have worked so hard to model.
4. going to la honda to meet up with a mom i really like, admire, and feel i can learn from
5. adam coming home for lunch, and spending 30 minutes reading to charlie, telling stories to charlie, and rubbing his back until he fell asleep
6. the inner peace and happiness i am lucky enough to wake up with everyday
