Unrealistic expectations simply add stress and anxiety. Rather than moving us toward our best lives, they bonk us on the head repeatedly, until we choose to stop inviting them into our minds and hearts.
You got this.
Showing up for your child in your perfectly imperfect way is enough. It’s ok to not know all the stuff about all the things. Academics, health, economy, family life have many amplified unknowns right now. You have been tossed into uncertainty. It’s ok to not have a clear sequence of action steps based on past experience.
What if… this is a time of opportunity?
Yes, uncertainty. Yes, unknown. Yes, uncharted. Yes, challenges.
What if we add... Yes to curiosity. Yes to wonder. Yes to flexibility. Yes to choosing the best in this moment. Yes to analyzing our standard routines and tailoring them to fit us better. Yes to noticing what good could result from this time. Yes to upleveling our family. Yes to claiming our role as primary educator. Yes to learning a whole bunch as we go along.
I’m with you.
All in Be Yourself
Unrealistic expectations simply add stress and anxiety. Rather than moving us toward our best lives, they bonk us on the head repeatedly, until we choose to stop inviting them into our minds and hearts.
Here is your official invitation to act confidently with your own skills and talent and a focus on growth. Spoiler alert: life is all about the growth. There’s no magic age of perfection and no set finish line. Don’t reach for the end. This is an infinite game.
As authors of our lives, let’s write the next chapter with plot twist wisdom to move us in the direction of our (perhaps new) dreams. Accept the previous lessons as you turn the page.
Tell me about yourself. I’m happy to hear about all your doings, but I’m most interested in your inner life. What fuels your flame?
Warped conditioning, outworn beliefs, perception of unworthiness, and shoddy behavior has got to go… there’s no room in your Best Life for the crap not serving you and your interests, desires, passions, values and joy.
Clarity in presence is floating in the flow of life, without resistance, to reveal a powerful energy of connection with your truth. Maybe you notice it when you’re fully immersed in your sport, music or art. Maybe it’s facilitated by peaceful settings in nature…
If you sit with yourself and make one choice at a time to look at each experience as if it comes from a place of Love, even the dreadful ones, you’ll begin to see a shimmer of light. Dissipate one layer with one choice. Repeat. Often.
