We all get distracted by life from time to time. You have the good fortune to have been tagged in a 6 Horsey Things About Me tag/link/ring. There's more about it, along with the rules at http://hopelesslyhorseless.blogspot.com/2008/12/six-horsey-things-about-me.html.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10676203430284854580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144707587213691856.post-51384672090013345932008-12-17T14:33:00.000-05:002008-12-17T14:33:00.000-05:00Hi Dea! Great to see you here once again and thanks for the compliment.<BR/><BR/>It's a great tip you're giving me. In fact, my mother who has worked as a nurse in the maternity ward for over 30 years swears by abdominal breathing as a relaxation technique. And if there is a moment when relaxing techniques are welcome, I think labor qualifies... So thanks for reminding me, I really had not thought of it.<BR/><BR/>Also, it's funny you should mention Sally Swift today because I grabbed her book this morning as my "extremely long bus commute" companion of the day. I must have read it 14 times but there's always something else I finally "get" because I have finally grown to that stage.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you a great holiday season with your loved ones!<BR/><BR/>MarieBack in the saddlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01970627462078105397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144707587213691856.post-58845380689710483092008-12-17T04:22:00.000-05:002008-12-17T04:22:00.000-05:00Hey,<BR/><BR/>That's powerful stuff! Thanks for being so open on your blog:-)<BR/><BR/>I have to remember being in the present too when I'm going through stressful times. Also, like when riding, I focus on breathing abdominally because I find: 1. it's relaxing and 2. it's where my emotions are and then they can roam freely and inform my brain rather than the other way around, because usually it's my brain going GAAHH, while really if I was paying attention to my feelings, they'd be saying: it's such a lovely day - take a look around.<BR/>Meditation's good too, maybe not on horseback though. But, it does make me think of Sally Swift's 'soft eyes'<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the holidays, I hope you have a relaxing one.<BR/>DeaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144707587213691856.post-38028826765484535292008-12-16T22:51:00.000-05:002008-12-16T22:51:00.000-05:00Wow Marie-Claude ....cette lecture me laisse bouche-bée! Tu sais ces moments où tu as l'impression où tu ce que tu pourrais dire te semble terne ou niais....<BR/>Tu as une façons fascinante de voir et de dire les choses!! Tout ce que tu dit est tellement vraie et je devrais essayer de l'appliquer pour ma vie à moi aussi .. ;) Et surtout, ton blog m'a fait réaliser quelque chose ... C'est incroyable à quel point une phrase ou expression qui semble si annodine pour soit peu être importante pour les autres .... T'es tu déjà dit ça??Incognitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564944051343538964noreply@blogger.com
