Tea Time

I want to be more self-disciplined this year. Having more free time is great, but it requires that I am diligent in my goals. Especially when you are an entrepreneur or stay-at-home-mom/wife. It requires much more from me. Wishing all the best to you ladies in your endeavors this week.

My mom paid for me to join Laura Doyle’s ridiculously happy wives group. I’m annoyed by the censorship on her website: every post has to go through a moderator and follow a very specific format and you can’t share anything outside her 6 intimacy skills. I shared a quote from a really great book that I read and it got deleted. Also, I think people need additional help and support to deal with serious things like infidelity. It was heartbreaking to be part of a phone call and hear another woman share about her husband’s other woman and ask “How do people deal?”

I am trying to be grateful for my mom and how she really invited me to practice these skills but at the same time, I can’t help but think I could spend 6 months in this other online group and talk about all things marriage and mental health and get weekly help on a phone call from a marriage counselor with 30+ years of experiences helping people connect with their partners.

I am currently listening to Jordan Peterson, who I have the conception of being very far from my general world view. It is interesting, though I am working on taking away some value from the bits I find useful. There's much I don't believe in. I do think as a person he seems quite genuine, and I like that he isnt afraid to become emotional when talking about his wife's cancer.

I also watched a video that interviewed Dr John Gray earlier, the Mars and Venus chap, which I found very interesting despite the length. It really went into the estrogen/testosterone differences and how that affects behaviour for emotional regulation, why men move away and women move towards. I definitely want to delve into this further as it makes so much sense for my husband and I. EDIT: forgot the link! video

I have a whole To Do list of self-improvement, but I am struggling to get into any of it. I want to do things like exercise, eat better, cook more and make a good recipe list, meal plan, meditate, create more, have better routines for my child, do more activity-based time with my husband rather than inactivity-based. But it all feels so much, and so I end up doing none of it.
