How do you allow yourself to feel, experience and move past unpleasant emotions?

In this episode, I share how unpleasant emotions like worry, sadness, or even boredom can lead to some behaviours we might want to be more aware of.

If you notice that you often get stuck in unpleasant emotions or that your anger or frustration leads to harder moments with loved ones, then this episode is for you.

Here are today's 3 reflections:

1. Can I let myself feel an uncomfortable emotion without trying to fix it right away?
2. What happens in my thoughts, feelings, and behavior when I’m feeling something unpleasant?
3. Can I notice the good moments that may be happening alongside difficult emotions?

This was a hard episode for me to record but I needed to honour my grandmother who passed away yesterday.

Today's reflections are:

1. Does my child feel loved and respected by me?
2. Does my child feel like they belong?
3. Do I help my child build their confidence by letting them fail or giving them opportunities to prove to themselves that they can do it

I hope you enjoy this episode and that it helps you reflect on how you are showing up for your child in every day actions. This was a reminder for me as well! (no one is perfect!)

This week, we are reflecting on our self-love.

This week's reflections are:

1. How do I nourish my happiness?
2. Do I see my body and mind as my home?
3. How do you feed your mind and body?

As parents I think we need to remember to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly nourishes us. This reminds us that we matter and that we do love ourselves. These reflections are inspired by the book How to Love. I hope this week's episode can help you be more intentional with what you consume so you can show up with more calm and connection in your daily lives.

Book: How to love by Thich Nhat Hanh (Amazon.com)
