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 Mindfulness
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.
