Getting Asked Questions: A Mindful Inquiry into Patience

September 23, 2018September 23, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Recently my husband and I got into a couple of quibbles when I needed help and felt that he was asking too many unnecessary questions. I was in a bind and I needed his assistance, why did he have to understand everything that was happening? Or this morning when I was making eggs hurriedly in … Continue reading Getting Asked Questions: A Mindful Inquiry into Patience

Teamwork

September 17, 2018December 16, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

All seven babies are sound asleep. I couldn't do it by myself. And maybe that's ok. As the saying goes, "The sum is greater than it's parts." We are meant to create something greater when acting as a team.

Working with Yourself

September 14, 2018December 16, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

It can be challenging to work with a co-worker in close quarters. In my previous job, I was the only nutritionist on the floor. Now I work in the very same room as two other co-teachers. Sometimes what they do perturbs me. But a thought that helps me regain perspective and mitigate the resentment is … Continue reading Working with Yourself

Does Not Play Well with Friends

September 13, 2018October 19, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

If I got a report card today, it would include the comment: does not play well with friends. Well, more accurately, the adult version: trust issues. My co-worker told me a piece of information this morning and I HAD to check it myself. I couldn't just TRUST what she said. This aspect of my personality … Continue reading Does Not Play Well with Friends

The Jewish New Year, The Creation of the Universe

September 9, 2018September 9, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

This morning I got my period for the first time since prior to becoming pregnant. My daughter just turned 9 months, so that was a good run! It was weird and sudden and brought back memories of my first period ever. I went to the bathroom one morning and hey, what's that? Mom, dad, I … Continue reading The Jewish New Year, The Creation of the Universe

Jewish New Year, Day of Judgment

September 9, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Every morning I gauge how well my morning commute is going based on where I run into a neighbor of mine who takes morning walks. She is a sweet middle-aged lady and we enjoy exchanging "Good mornings." It has been a few weeks since we have been taking this morning route and one day this … Continue reading Jewish New Year, Day of Judgment

The Healing Power of Human Touch

September 3, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Human touch, much like human interaction, is something that cannot be taken for granted nowadays as our world is becoming more and more digitalized. Research shows that holding babies in the NICU helps them heal and develop. Businesses strive to give a figurative human touch to attract and maintain clients. The other day, as I … Continue reading The Healing Power of Human Touch

The Art of Deep Breathing

September 3, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

We are losing the art of deep breathing as we more and more often reach for our phones to divert our attention, as opposed to being with the emotion/challenge we are experiencing and sitting with it.

Delving Deeper Into Ego

September 2, 2018October 19, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

In previous post, I spoke about my desire to do things my way and see them succeed. I further discussed how I am working on having a more team-oriented mindset. Thinking about this more, I believe the root of my wanting to do it my way is so I feel that I matter, make a … Continue reading Delving Deeper Into Ego

Being Driven by One’s EGO is Exhausting

September 2, 2018 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

My mom loves sharing her unique insights with me. Whether it be about a dvar Torah (a speech on lessons from the Torah) she is giving, or an insight she shared in a Torah class—she finds much joy in highlighting what were her unique, original ideas. I am fortunate to have a mom is so … Continue reading Being Driven by One’s EGO is Exhausting
