Here’s a great intention: “my needs come first”

Like on the plane, my mask before the child’s....
So much of my lack of calm comes when I myself have needs (like hunger or bathroom) that aren’t filled.
I can teach my kids this lesson too, by saying it out loud “I am hungry too so as soon as I have something to eat myself, I will be sure to get you x,y,&z”
“And thank you for your patience and understanding! I know it’s so hard to wait...”
Another interesting byproduct of this mentality, is suddenly kids become a lot more capable and independent because they don’t want to wait! 😂
And then we get to show up for those great qualities and energize their independence with the energy we got from filling our own needs first!
What a great cycle 😉

Here’s the nha®️ way to look at it:

What does it say about me that I have a huge headache *and* only yelled a little?

Or

I have a stressful meeting today and am not ready *and* didnt hit, push, or yank anyone getting ready for school?

Or:

I’m running late *and* still made myself a coffee and healthy breakfast?

The situations don’t change, but the warrior like determination to focus on the AND, the grains of good in however it could have been worse and wasn’t, or the small success even in the biggest failure, this determination changes fate, transforms lives, and has the power to give you not only good days, but great days, filled with meaning, purpose, joy, and pride every day.

When a child has big emotions and acts out in ways that are against the rules, do you really think they don’t know better?

Lecturing our kids about what they did wrong is patronizing and minimizing of their maturity and brains.

They know, we don’t need to tell them.

And if we really think they don’t know, then it’s on us to make new rules, not their fault.

A tantrum or inappropriate behavior is normal for humans, especially little ones.

It’s normal for humans not be perfect.

Talk less, give space, show trust, and know they will eventually come back.
And when they do, let them know how wonderful it is that they have.

Big emotions are hard for everyone!

Special Episode: When an Oppositional Child’s Rebellion Turns to Aggression: Part 2

Today I’m going to explore the Nurtured Heart application to a child who is so upset by anything that doesn’t go their way, that they even resort to aggression.

We explore this in two parts.

In last weeks episode we addressed how to navigate the actual moment while applying the 3 STANDS of NHA.

In this weeks episode, we talk about what we can do after the fact to be proactive in preventing this type of behavior in the future.

Enjoy!

With holiday parties, vacations, and all other busy, lovely, but chaotic things that come with this time of year, remember- more clarity gives us and our kids the best chance for success.

Take the time to keep the kids in the loop.
Share expectations of where, when, and what they will be doing or not doing.
And what they can or can’t expect from you.
What should they do when you are otherwise occupied?
The more clear the expectations, the smoother the experience for everyone!

Here’s to clarity! And happy holidays!! 🥂🍾🍩

Bottom line, humans seek connection, and a primary attachment figure.

When we don’t have it, we try harder, sometimes at the expense of our own emotional well-being.

Our kids do the same thing, and they would rather be seen and in trouble, than feel invisible and be “good”.

I want to see them and give them the connection they crave, as a top intention for every day I live, and let them know thereby, that they don’t need to act out, to get their needs for attachment met.

Today my intention is to make an effort to really be there with them, before they need to ask for it.

What is my role as a mother?

I don’t get to decide what kind of kids I’ll get.
And I don’t get to decide who they will be when they grow up.
And I don’t even get to decide who they are right now.
So what is my role?

I have been learning on this NHA®️ journey, that my role as a mother, and really as a human on this planet, is not to force reality into being the reality that I believe would be best.
It’s not to manipulate or coerce or beg or plead with anyone or anything to be what I feel they or it should be.

What if my role was just to show up?

To show up in any given moment, living by and being the values that I want to see in the world and others.

What if my role as a mother was the feelings and behaviors that I add to the moment by being in control of my own emotional regulation, and what and where I choose to energize and celebrate by ways of my own intensity?

Can being intentional in where and how I shine my light be enough?

I say yes.

Today I will be intentional of where and how I shine my light and love of a mother. ❤️💕💞

The gift of breath is, we are doing it anyway... I can choose to feel it flow through me, and take that pause.
The breath takes us into ourselves and back to our heart, truth, and intention.
I try to practice in calm moments, so that hopefully I’ll remember to pause in the chaos too.
There is so much power in the pause.

Have you heard about this first ever opportunity?

For the first time this life transforming intensive is being offered (by me) geared to religious jewish women.

Up until now there have only been nurtured heart certification training intensives on zoom as a group with the creator Howard Glasser.
Now he has officially invited me to run my own in-person training intensive to cater towards my own community.
I can’t believe it’s happening!

Challenge:
Write a news headline that wraps up your day. This isn’t about positive or negative. This is about reality. The truth of the moment.

Now, what if that headline was not only what happened, but actually what was supposed to happen?

Tell yourself “today is supposed to be a _______ day”

So if it’s that type of day, then you’re already getting it right!
