Running and meditation
Xiao Xia, after her mother and father separated, began to do something she had always wanted to do, but she didn't implement. One of them is going for a run.
After dinner, I immediately went downstairs and walked for an hour, then slowly moved my wrists, ankles, and neck, and started to run along the river.
When running, keep your body straight, feel the force of your abdomen tightening, and bend your arms at about right angles, swinging with your steps. Pay attention to the position of force on the lower body, and use the buttocks and thighs to drive the calves. Mom has very small steps, runs very slowly, and has a heart rate of 140.
It's an amazing feeling to run. Finally, I can get away from my phone, computer and TV for a long time. What you see in front of you are trees, rivers, and wind. That's right, and the wind. It's what makes the picture in front of you flow.
If you go out in the evening, you can still see the moon slowly emerging from the white quiet clouds, and then the yellow crystal hangs on the black night.
Mom often thinks of you when she first starts running. Thinking of your cute appearance, Mom will run and cry at the same time. Missing is obviously a very warm thing, but my mother will shed tears.
Later, for a while, when my mother was running, she didn't think about anything, she just felt the wind, felt the road passing under her feet, and tried not to think about anything as much as possible. Sometimes, my mother will think about some things to study, and think about some changes in logic and thinking.
Running, let mom follow the movement of the body, a kind of meditation. All the attention that has been drifting outside the body is recycled. The process of running is the process of meditation.
Mom found it very useful. This time, when my mother was running, she thought about her past with her father and had some new ideas.
In the past, when Mom and Dad were still together, Mom wanted a lot of things, and Dad would be willing to do them with Mom. Pursue a healthy life together, and pursue a more interesting and broader world of ideas together. There are also those exciting novelties that Mom hopes to experience with Dad from then on. Mom thought she had a partner to explore the world, and she could do anything together.
At that time, my mother was pinning her hopes on a new life and a new partner, as if because of these, my mother's previous wishes would come true one by one.
But Xiao Xia, now her mother understands that this is her mother who has secretly transferred her life responsibilities. What my mother wanted to do, I didn't put it into practice before, but I hoped that another person would help my mother finish the path she wanted to take. This is irresponsible thinking.
No matter how many partners you have, the road of life is always your own walking. So did you do what you wanted to do, of course, in your own hands.
When I first separated from your father, my mother even felt that she could finally have a life of her own.
But in fact, my life has always been with me. Before and after. You can have your own life at any time. Even if we feel swayed by other people, then at that moment, the person who made the decision to give up our own will is still ourselves.
Facts have also proved that when you are alone, what you can't accomplish, and you hope that another person will join in, and it is a very risky thing to want to achieve it.
Sure enough, after getting married, my father was not involved in what my mother wanted to do, and he was not interested in it. That includes running together.
At that time, my mother was like an isolated child, because no children wanted to be together, so she gave up.
Later, Mom and Dad's life gradually became very regular. I would go out to eat on weekends to improve my life. Usually, my dad is playing games at home after work, while my mom is reading a book.
Such a regular and simple life is very helpful to accumulate wealth and allow Dad to achieve the financial freedom he wants as soon as possible.
Sometimes Mom thinks that maybe when that day comes, Dad will be willing to do something more interesting with Mom. It's just that my mother didn't and didn't want to wait until that day.
Looking back, my mother remembers that when she and Dad first started falling in love, Dad was completely different from what he looked like after that.
At that time, my mother also had a lot of ideas. Once when we were having dinner in the mall, my mother saw someone skating, and she was just curious to look at it, but when my father found out, he immediately said that he wanted to try it together.
In fact, my mother hadn't skated for a long time, and she felt very hesitant, worried that she would start all over again and fall badly. Dad also said that he hadn't practiced for a long time, but it didn't matter, if the two of them were together, they wouldn't be afraid.
It was the first time we held hands, and in the end, both of us fell enough, but my mother thought it was funny.
It was that time that Mom began to look at Dad differently. Mom felt that someone would finally explore the things she hadn't done with her. It doesn't matter if mom is scared, because dad will give mom the courage to try. Mom felt like she had finally found the playmate she had been looking for.
However, it turned out that such a scene was the only one time it appeared.
Maybe mom is the wrong person for your dad. He didn't realize it until he got married, so he put away his enthusiasm and got by. Maybe he's still a person with a heart and an idea, but his mother doesn't have the eyes to see it all anymore.
Speaking of running, in fact, running every night, my mother used to hope that my father could be together. One is that in my mother's fantasy, this is a way of thinking calmly, and if two people can experience it together, it will be very beautiful, as if it is a meditation moment to grow together. The second is that, after all, it is night, and the mother is like a child who has not grown up at that time, after dark, outside at eight or nine o'clock, and her heart is worried. So mom always hoped that dad would be willing to be together.
And in my mother's previous impression, my father was an athlete, and he had countless sports suits and a lot of swimming equipment. But after being with his mother, his mother never saw him use it, not once.
Sometimes, my mother would secretly think that this kind of thinking was very narrow, maybe these were just the ways that my father tried to get in touch with girls. Now that I'm married, I don't need such props anymore, or do things that are tiring against my will.
In short, my mother never went out for a run during that marriage, let alone exercised with my father.
Now my mother has become a person who is not afraid of the dark overnight because of the class given by life. Finally, Mom started to walk downstairs and started the life she had been looking forward to, running every day.
Running, like my mother's fantasy in the past few years, is a simple exercise that can bring silence and silence to my mother.
Mom should keep running. In the future, if you meet love again, Mom will still insist on doing what she likes, and if that person is not interested, then we will let him go to hell, right?
