Everything I need to know in life I learned from my newborn
Life is precious, enjoy every minute because when that minute has passed, so has our ability to be in that moment. We can relive those moments in our memories, but only if we were fully present in the first place.
We all need to experience touch, skin to skin contact daily. Why else are we covered from head to toe with it? Skin-to-skin contact releases oxytocin, the all natural, feel-good endorphin that our brain creates so we can feel happiness and joy. It’s how we feel connected to each other; it bonds us to our loved ones. How many people suffering from depression or addictions might show big improvements with a little human contact? Has anyone ever done a study on depression to see how long the last time these individuals had daily hugs and skin-to-skin contact? Hug your loved ones each and every day. Even your teenagers, even if they say they don’t want hugs – we all need them.
Breast milk is the best nutrition for us when we start off in life – it is liquid gold. Mother Nature built us to be able to care for our offspring, provided we take good care of ourselves, we just have to follow her lead.
A good poop feels great. A good fart feels pretty good too.
No one likes to sit with a poopy bum.
A good burp feels great.
Sleep is good.
Babies are born with the rooting instinct, which is a soft sucking motion, like a kiss. Could this be how kisses originated as an expression of love between humans?
Newborns are pure love and joy, the most powerful emotion/energy in the universe. People all over the world react to them with softness and love. Anyone who thinks that we are born evil has had their head screwed on backwards.
We all like to be snuggled in a soft blanket because it reminds us of the security of the womb.
We are born with the ability to sense energy around us and it affects us greatly. Eliminate tension and negativity from our environment and ourselves whenever we feel it. How do we do that? Take a deep breath and as you let it out replace every other thought with feelings of love.
Laughter is for the soul what food is for the body. Naturally entertaining, it feels great and we can share it with others or we can do it on our own.
We are spiritual beings living a human experience.
We like movement, staying still is not in our nature. We enjoy rocking, swaying and dancing because it reminds us of being in the womb.
You cannot give to others that which you deny yourself. Give to yourself first so that it’s in you to give to others.
This is all we need to be happy and fulfilled, it seems to me that the older we get and the further away from the first few weeks of life, we forget how important these things are to feel connected to each other and our environment. We search outside ourselves for answers to happiness and fulfillment. Over time, we lose the closeness that we once had with loved ones and we’re not sure why. We forget that we can sense the energy of our surroundings and the people in it and how much it can affects us. We forget that we create our own energy vibrations with our thoughts and feelings. We dismiss and deny the importance of meeting our most basic needs on a daily basis, arrogantly thinking that a happy life can’t be that simple. It is. You just have to spend a day with a newborn to believe it’s true.

Glad you had a great Mother's Day, Diana! Alexander is a huge cutey, and I'm so happy you are cherishing your time with him.
Our second-born just turned one, so she's in what we think is the best phase - sleeping through the night, always smiling and playing games, learning to talk, and still with that sweet baby skin smell. And her big sister loves her, (sometimes too roughly!)
