Connecting and trusting that internal parent voice is an essential parenting task. Especially in a world with loud voices. Learning to recognize and honor your voice is the foundation for healthy decisions across your child's lifespan. One of the most empowering aspects of motherhood is learning to trust your instincts. Your intuition is powerful in making decisions for your child's well-being. Remember, you know your child best. Stand firm in your beliefs and decisions, especially when it comes to their health and safety.
Trust: Starting a full discussion about your needs is critical to any relationship, from the employee to the friend, to the lover, to the child. The trust conversation happens over time and can be painful. If the trust has been breached, ALL parties need to do work to resolve the trust issue, and we can all start by making the decision to do the work.
When an anxiety attack strikes, finding a 'safe space' can provide immediate relief. This can be any environment where you feel secure and comfortable, such as your home, office, or even a quiet corner away from crowds. Many people find that their car works for them. A quiet bathroom also works well if you are in public. Try to get some cold water, but the key is cold and dark. The goal is to minimize external stressors and create a calming environment for yourself.
By focusing on your self-worth, embracing personal growth, and understanding the values important to you in a relationship, you're setting the stage for healthier, more fulfilling connections in the future. Getting over an old love is not easy, but being ready for a new love is the best remedy of all!
