Analyzing the 1st week of my Early Bird experiment i realized that excess of energy that had suddenly came to me thanks to the new regime of the day, has to be given the right application. Imagine activities of a daughter invited to help her hyper-responsible mother, and you'll know what i am talking about =) Back then i decided to focus on what makes a girl happy. Could i imagine how the week would turn out to be?
Two car accidents (do not worry "all is well") and postponed arrival of my sister added stress and changed my initial plan for which i am really grateful as i had a good opportunity to "practice" womanhood =)
There were no visits to SPA salon, no manicure, no long telephone girly talks... Of all others it was handling car accident with a missing guilty party that commenced the week-long lesson on how being a girl and acting as one helps solve the problem in the best way. You accept the situation as it is, relax, speak confidently but softly, listen carefully, do not argue, do not expect but develop strong faith in a good outcome and by sincerely sharing a kind smile, expressing gratitude inspire people who are here to help you... and magic happens.
Getting the guilty driver identified and found within 1 day, making a "win-win" case out of the accident for both of us - no doubt i couldn't do it by myself. Professional management skills i was taught in the school of management alone wouldn't help either. It is the school of relationships where Girls learn that they only then contribute the world when they increase amount of love in it. So regardless what i was doing after that incident: cooking, singing, sewing, emailing, conversing, washing clothes, making phone calls, getting work done, beautifying the house, playing with cat, sms-ing,... - i added extra kindness and care to my thoughts, words and actions. I do not have big results to share. Just peace it has been filling my heart with. It will take time and effort to see whether my inner change contributes my well-being as well as well-being of the world around me. But i hope that with time, energy, optimism, inspiration, inner motivation, confidence and insight resulted from following regime of the day i have been blessed with so much of what it takes to make it happen.
