[DOWNLOAD] How do we keep from losing our cool? 🤔
Hi Reader,
When our kids are having a hard time, or we're feeling impatient and annoyed, how do we keep from losing our cool? 🤔
In my Chaos to Cooperation 10-Day Guide, I show you what needs to happen first. And if you've downloaded it before, I've updated the PDF with NEW fillable sections!
So, if you're a print-and-write kind of person - you still have the option to make your own workbook. But, if you want to stay organized online, grab the NEW fillable PDF version here.
And, if you've taken the 10-Day Series before but got lost in all the emails (or spam stole your stuff) - everything is in one place now! The links, activities, and meditations are all in this Daily Activity Planner.
Stay organized. Get grounded. So about that "losing our cool" business. I know this well (probably too well).
I've attempted to sidestep conflict with my child by pretending it wasn't happening or ignoring the situation - hoping it would disappear. Or I've lashed out at someone else - completely unrelated to the circumstances (and the feelings I was trying to avoid).
❌DO NOT RECOMMEND❌
If you've ever found yourself self-righteously unleashing a hoard of buried emotions on your kids - or others - you're not the only one!
What is it about what our kids (or other people) think, say, or do that makes us so mad? Why can't we keep our emotions in check when someone says something hurtful or critical?
👉🏻 We're human.
We feel deeply and can be quick to react and defend our position - especially when we're in pain. And when our kids push our buttons - if we don't face that discomfort, we'll likely repeat the pattern.
Teaching kids that stuffing down their emotions or dumping them on others is a healthy way to process our experiences - is NOT what we had in mind.
And if you've ever thought... "I'm afraid if I don't get control now, I'm going to completely lose control later." - I want to ease the fears that creep into your mind and mess with your intuition. 🌱
If we expect perfection from ourselves or our children, we won't be able to tolerate their missteps, conflict, or poor behavior.
And I know there's so much going on in our lives. Families often lack the tools they need, and I hate that parenting support feels like a luxury for many parents.
Once a year, I open up my library of classes for a HUGE discount, but this year, I thought I should bundle up the whole thing and offer it at a crazy low price.
I mean - every single class I have. All the nuggets - PLUS transcripts, workbooks, bonus classes, and step-by-step actionable pointers to help you increase your patience and slow down before you speak!
But I'll tell you more about that soon. For now, grab the Chaos to Cooperation PDF, and over the next 10 days - glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel.
🔆 When we're ready to face our fears and get clear on the behaviors and beliefs that might push our kids away - we learn to handle difficult situations without resorting to the harmful habits we want to break (punishing, disconnecting, ignoring).
You got this!! One day at a time.
Thank you so much for being here! And, of course, please remember, it's about being conscious - not perfect!
