Mindfulness and Marriage: Moving Along

Written by Maya Talisman Frost


Marriage has to berepparttar greatest opportunity for mindfulness onrepparttar 110256 planet.

I used to think that parenting took top honors, but really, a good marriage lasts a lot longer than a good childhood. After all,repparttar 110257 kids do move out eventually, butrepparttar 110258 spouse stays.

Neverrepparttar 110259 type to do things half-heartedly, my husband and I uprepparttar 110260 ante when it comes to spending time together. We have breakfast together. We ride to work together. We work all day together. We ride home together. We eat dinner together. We go to bed together.

This could be a recipe for disaster, but instead, we think it'srepparttar 110261 coolest thing ever, and we never take that for granted.

With all that proximity, we have learned tremendous patience and we've got a killer sense of humor. This means that even in our snarkiest moments, we know we will find a reason to crack up about it later.

In fact, some of our favorite stories are about moments of extreme mindlessness, and if truth be told, I tend to berepparttar 110262 mindless one.

I know, I know. I'm supposed to berepparttar 110263 mindfulness expert. Well, as I always insist, you can't be mindful of everything AT ONCE, right?

So, here is my favorite mindless moment--and what I learned from it.... While moving from Oregon to Montana several years ago, my husband was drivingrepparttar 110264 U-Haul packed with all of our worldly possessions. Insiderepparttar 110265 cab ofrepparttar 110266 truck with him was our second daughter, Tara, and our hyperactive yellow Lab, Thor. Meanwhile, I was driving behind him inrepparttar 110267 car withrepparttar 110268 other three daughters.

Hours passed. I obediently followed behind him, despiterepparttar 110269 fact that driving behind a big truck is, well, annoying. So, when we finally got torepparttar 110270 mountain pass andrepparttar 110271 U-Haul was chugging along at 30 miles per hour, I felt it would be just fine if I passed him and made my way to Missoula. I figured I'd get torepparttar 110272 new house first and get ready forrepparttar 110273 move-in.

Until you learn to userepparttar 110257 Law of Attraction in a deliberate way, most ofrepparttar 110258 time you are not aware that you are attracting into your life-more of-whatever you are giving your focus, attention, and energy to. This is referred to as non-deliberate attraction. It can be described in a 4-step cycle:

Step 1: I observe what I'm attracting in any area of my life.

Step 2: While observing what I'm attracting, I'm offering a corresponding vibration, whether negative or positive.

Step 3: The Law of Attraction is always checking in to see what my vibration is and matches it obediently, whether wanted or unwanted.

Step 4: Asrepparttar 110259 Law of Attraction responds to my vibration, I receive or manifest into my life, more of what I was observing inrepparttar 110260 first place.
