Discover 3 Simple Steps To Joyful Waking
by Julie Jordan Scott

It was our usual Saturday morning routine.

We found ourselves at Barnes and Noble for Story time and Emma found herself getting increasingly angry about something. I can't even remember what the brou-ha-ha was this week.

I gave Emma these simple instructions: "Stay here and breathe through whatever is upsetting you. I will go get some books to read from right over there (pointing to a shelf on the adult side of the store) and sit at this table right here. I will wait for you. When you are ready to speak calmly, I will be here."

I thought I saw smoke coming from her ears: grey, heated foam which was immediately followed by a glimmer of respect and gratitude.

I wandered to the stacks of books adjacent to the children's department: it had always been there but was, until this moment, unfamiliar territory. I gleaned two quote books from the first shelf which caught me eye. "Freedom" was a natural find and the other one looked like a McGuffy Reader from my Grandmother's childhood.

I opened the McGuffy-Reader-esque book with its mustard and black curly cued cover and read the very first quote on the very first page.

"The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up."

The words seared my soul, deepening the "YES!" inscribed on my heart. The speaker-writer: Paul Valery, someone I had never heard of until that moment.

I knew I was meant to read that quote in exactly that moment, that space in time. I knew that this exact situation occurred in just this way so that I could receive that perfect message. The only thing missing was a big spotlight and the letters "Julie: Read Here!" emblazoned in the margins.

If I had chosen to get angry with Emma and fight with her and drag her out of the door kicking and screaming and spewing upset, I wouldn't have seen it.

If I had chosen to cajole and coddle Emma out of her upset, I would have been too busy mucking around in her business to receive my message.

Instead, I chose to stay in a place where I would remain calm and trusted her to breathe her way through her upset.

Guess what?

It worked.

The message I found from Paul Valery, "The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up" has been my companion for the last few days. I explored the other books I collected as well, all gems and worthy of attention. Emma joined me at the child sized round table with several selections of her own.

We left the store filled with contentment and peace because we trusted the process, we stayed present and we honored each other's experience.

Today marks the beginning of this week. You have the choice to honor this new beginning through following a similar path.

1. Wake Up " and stay awake " by breathing deeply and calmly through those moments which may appear (at first glance) to be upset inducing. It is like Epictetus said so many years ago: "Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them."

2. Choose to stand alongside the emotion " instead of fighting the emotion or burying it, move through it by acknowledging it, accepting it, and choosing to move into an alternative that feels better and ultimately serves the greatest good of you and everyone else.

3. Sit with whatever is on your path. You don't need to rush down a divergent path. Whatever direction you are facing right now has a message, a "pot of gold" not at the END of the rainbow " its right there, right where you are this moment.
