The power of positive thoughts

Let me share an incident that happened two days back. With this Corona lockdown, the kiddos at home are a little unruly. And we got this saviour game - Dhayakattai/ Dhayam/ Ludo, to keep them engaged in a better way. My son is so addicted to this game that he monoplays it when the dawn breaks.

When it was our family time to play this game, we found the dice were missing. My little boy had misplaced the dice somewhere and all of us started searching the entire house in and out. What would be the probability of success in finding the material of the probability game? FYI, it was not in the usual places it has to be.

The minute, I started searching I had a negative thought of having lost the dice already. The nature of most of the human beings!! Then, there was a sudden flash of on how I was thinking. I tried to refine and reframe my thoughts to "in two minutes we will get the dice for sure". Trust me. The thoughts do impact our life. We got the dice in less than 2 mins. He had placed it in the toy box.

This could be a matter of least importance. However, we all know that small drops make an ocean. Start the practice of being positive with small deeds..one fine day, this will become your habit and thus your positive lifestyle.

Learning from little things and mistakes!!

When the mother turns a child...

I had planned to leave my son at his granny's place during this Corona Vacation. I had made some preparatory work to drill his mind, to stay without the parents, as this is the first time, he is gonna experience it. Either one of us were there for all these six years. Even after the extensive mental preparation, he was not ok to stay alone with grandparents and his cousins. So, I decided not to force him.

The day when we started from our hometown, seems there was a sudden flash on his mind and he backed to stay back at granny’s place. This was a shock for me without any drill activity to MY MIND. I just couldn’t take the fact that this little boy was not sitting on my lap and irritating me throughout the travel. For the next 1 hour, my thoughts were around him. Will he manage without us, what if he cries, what if he longs for us and so on.. The typical and conservative motherly feel..

But then, I had to overcome this strange feel. Anyways, this is what I had planned for.. and what now???  I started looking at the better side of this social distancing with son. The selftime – All for myself.. I can do my work without any disturbance, quality partner time, dependency free days and so on..

My Realization: I have to grow up a lot before saying something to my child.
