ETA: OKAY. So here is the thing. Cosleeping can be a couple of things: either sleeping in bed with parents or room sharing. No where did I say you HAVE to sleep with your baby in bed. I do think it’s silly to expect your baby to be so far away from you when all of us want the comfort of another person. Being in the same room and near your baby while they sleep is EXTREMELY healthy and has so many benefits if done correctly. You’re right.

The point is you need to know who you are, what your boundaries are, and what’s best for your family. The only point this post is trying to make is that it’s ridiculous to put down parents who choose to be close to their babies during sleep time because it actually makes great sense.

DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR FAMILY AND BABY.

The last couple of days have been quite emotionally taxing with so much detox happening at the spirit level. Don’t even get me started on physical detox.
Recognizing and releasing the programming that has been holding me back from living in abundance has been a life changer for me ! I am far from done but I am so much closer to where I want to be.
This journey started after I got sick about 5 years ago. I was desperate to find a solution to my sickness because doctors had given up and something told me that I had to keep looking. And then three years ago I decided to do some serious healing work. I had nothing to lose at this point. I was already bed ridden half the time.
Every time I wanted to give up because healing is bloody hard and emotionally and physically chaotic, I was reminded of why I started.
I had come to realize ( at some point in my healing journey ) that nothing outside of me gave me true happiness. Momentary joy perhaps. But not life sustaining, bubbly happiness. And that’s when I got really serious about healing myself.
Sure money can make your life comfortable. Lots of friends can give you a sense of security. Food can fill that gap you want to ignore. But true happiness is within. When you find true happiness, you don’t need friends to make you feel good about yourself. Because you already have that. You also don’t need to stuff your face. Because miraculously your body tells you what it needs. You don’t need to shop all the time because you just need less.
I still like to shop and hang out with friends but I do not do those things from a sense of lack or fear. I do it because it helps me learn more about myself and the world.
2020 has been fantastic for me because I used the downtime to heal more and learn more.
I know that there is still so much to discover and that’s why I am excited about 2021.
Happiness was always an inside job. And still is.
