This post is for anyone who has a parent.
Lol though not kidding.
If you’re a parent, even better.
If you’re in a relationship, platonic or romantic, even better!
Today let’s drop our defenses so that we can learn, love, and accept ourselves and those around us.
Here are two tools to become more conscious, compassionate and mindful in our parenting and in our living.
Trying to control our kids’ lives gives us an illusion of calm and feels good in the moment.
Plus it’s what everyone else is doing so until you learn how it impacts our kids, why would you choose to do differently?
I’ll tell you why.
Because it actually doesn’t feel good for you or your kid.
We are under the illusion that if we let go of control everything will fall apart.
The irony is that we feel more out of control than ever.
Listen in as I share one of my favorite tools to help with this.

Feeling our emotions without reacting to them can be terrifying but it gets easier with practice. When we remind ourselves that feelings are like waves, they come and they go, we gain power.
The more aware parents are of what’s driving us, the calmer and more in control we can be. We need to know what is behind our actions. We are the adults. We get to act consciously.
