One of the most popular, if not the most popular, question I get asked is, "How can I be more patient and present with my children?"
To understand patience, we need to understand impatience.
If, as a human being, I can only be on either Love or Fear.... do you agree with me that patience and presence is a manifestation from Love, and impatience and frustration is a manifestation from Fear?
So when we...
You aren't repeating what your parents did with your children.... However, there is one thing that you continue to repeat that keeps you stuck. We don't know, what we don't know... and for seekers, there is a blind spot - and it's the greatest part of your hero's journey. In the work I do with clients, and when they are able to discover what's really holding them back (it's not mindset) ... |
Our relationships determine our quality of life.
Our relationships matter.
The quality of our relationships has an influence on how we show up, and our belief in ourselves...and there is nothing like the feeling of feeling seen, heard, and understood.
What we want most in our relationships is to be "gotten". We desire for others to "get us".
So if we all have a common vision, because I know everyone ...
Over the last few months, a client's friend's son, who is a teenager, has committed suicide. |
When was the last time you looked in the mirror, paused, and then said the words, "Thank-you for being you"?
The idea of being my own best friend, and having a relationship with myself wasn't something I grew up with or was taught.
ALL I knew was to be hard on myself. To beat myself up. To focus all my attention on where I was falling short.
And be obsessed with being better and improving from a...
Hello beautiful souls...!
It's so easy to look back on the year that's been and look for evidence on where we've fallen short, on where we aren't enough...
And as it's the holidays and we're spending more time with family and close friends...
The disconnection or dissatisfaction with where we are at may be heightened..
It's so easy to be seduced by the voice inside our head of not being enough...
Do you find you're always finding fault?
Either with others or yourself?
You could do something better... or you should have done it differently... it's just never "good enough".
And then that turns to - how someone else could do something better, or differently, or your expectations of them?
It's humbling when we realise we are addicted to finding fault. In ourselves and others.
Or that it's a pattern...
Teenagers are so misunderstood... (then again - most children are, no matter their age).
When you're under 3, you always communicated freely. Your joy, your sadness, your anger, your frustration.
However, for most parents, when their child communicated sadness, anger or frustration - they didn't know how to meet it (because they haven't met theirs).
And so the child learns that this "for...

We can't approach parenting as we do in a romantic relationship or friendship.
Parenting is a very unique relationship - where as a parent, you are 100% responsible for the disconnect up until they are at least 21.
If you're 100% responsible for the disconnect, you're also 100% responsible for the connection... and you're 100% responsible for the space you hold.
If you want mental, emotional...
