“Ask ‘Is this necessary?’ before each action, practice acceptance instead of thought suppression… Life isn't a random collection of events but a sculpture you create through consistent, purposeful choices—each small action compounds to reveal your future self.”
@iWomansplainer My 7 mo old was like this too. It’s like the gas built up until 2 am and then it was a battle the rest of the night. Inclining his mattress a bit helped slightly but usually we had to hold him upright for hours every night until it just got better around 5/6 mos
"Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means."

"There is always more than one way to do something. Write down as many ways as you can think of to achieve your desired outcome. Then, rank them based on how much time they take, how much money they cost, and how effective you expect them to be. Choose the best."

A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.
The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.
Next play mentality.

“To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman & distressingly inhabited. Soul & spirit are stretched—along with body—making pregnancy a time of transition, growth & profound beginnings.”

“Water is eternally changing. This is why water is so adaptable: it responds to its surroundings. The same goes for you. You should be fluid and adaptive in your approach to everything you do”
