Thanks for joining me! I am so excited to share my first post with you. I hope all my readers can find a fresh start and get rid of the baggage we as parents tend to carry around: bad days, bad feelings, anxiety, regret, shame, frustration, unfinished lists. It goes on and on. Some advice that I have heard time and time again is “you are enough” I have been guilty of saying this about myself as a parent. So what’s wrong with this statement? Well, is that what you think about yourself…just enough? Would you tell your best friend or your children this? “I raise you to become…well-enough” NO WAY! So stop telling yourself this. We must stop and remember to be kind to ourselves, to not let our internal dialogue be hurtful. Stop and think, “would I say that to my best friend?” If the answer is no…then stop saying it to yourself. Every morning wake up and B-R-E-A-T-H and tell yourself I am a Superhuman! You are more than enough. You are everything. You are everywhere. You are always changing. You are Super Human.
How do I do this you ask? I often wondered this myself. Once I stopped letting my anxiety control me and started treating it as just another emotion I began to realize it doesn’t define me. I am not anxious…I simply feel anxiety as I feel sad,angry, or frustrated at times. I also realized the importance of love. Have you ever stopped to say “thank you I love you” to yourself? Before listening to the following exercise I had never told myself that! And wow was it a game changer! Hey self… I Love You! You better bet I now tell my kids to pause, breath, look within and say “thank you I love you”. It is my pleasure to introduce to you an amazing woman Samantha Skelly. I’ll let her magic take it from here.
