“One of the hallmark’s of being a high conscious parent is the attitude and mindset of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITIES, along with the internal drive to frequently self-assess and improve. With that, an anabolic parent is able to see and identify the opportunity to press the “reset” button to assess and address any intention we’re not fully committing to and living out in our efforts to parent more mindfully and consciously. The word reset means to "set again or differently" and often times all it takes is just a little tweak in the small stuff to get us back on course. So, there’s no need to wait for your typical “reset” moments like New Year’s, a birthday or anniversary to check-in on your parenting goals. Use your high conscious level 5 anabolic attitude and mindset to steer yourself back on course. First ...
Dig back into those memory banks and recall your original intention for the year. This time, take the step to write out your thought/idea and put it into a declarative sentence as in the following example: "I am (more patient) by ( meditating 5-minutes when I wake-up) in order to (improve my relationship with my children)." Then ... Reflect on the core value that is connected to this intention and declaration. Our core values are the fundamental core of who we are and the principle driving and motivating force in our choices and decisions. Get clear on your value with this intention so you are more likely to see it through. Next ... Bring this intention to life with the powerful tool of visualization. This is an invaluable tool of mental imagery that will motivate you to reach your intention. Just as athletes, business professionals and artists use this tool to enhance their peek performance, so too can you use visualization techniques in how your family relationships look, sound, feel like. When you imagine yourself performing perfectly and doing exactly what you want, you physiologically create neural patterns in your brain, just as if you had physically performed the action. The thought can stimulate the nervous system in the same way as the actual event does. Message me and we can do that visualization together. Finally ... Let's take the most important action of all - accountability and support. This critical component to achieving what we set out to accomplish is done by reaching out to someone (or several someones) in our lives that can be by our side, provide encouragement, check in and help see things through. Burning questions, still curious about something or looking for clarity on anything? Drop me a note and let's chat! Enjoy the week ahead as I'm happy to support you on your parenting journey. Stay motivated and inspired to PARENT DIFFERENTLY. Your best self and parent is waiting! |
