Somewhere between the endless loads of laundry, wiping of tiny noses and bottoms, and balancing #AllTheThings, we’ve have to train our brain and imagination to prioritize fun and play. It doesn’t always come naturally…even when kids are playing around us all the time!
So from one tired parent to another, here’s our best advice for staying connected to your imagination while juggling parenting, work, and life!
How often do we wait until we’re overly frustrated with something we can’t do before we reach out and ask for help?
Admitting when we aren’t capable of doing something is hard and can even be pretty scary (especially something we should be able to do). After all, we want to come across as capable, have-it-all-together people who offer help to others – not admit we need it ourselves.
This month, we’re going to be exploring the value of collaboration and how we can work together to be even better, starting with asking and inviting.
How many times have you thought or even said “I really should…” in the last 24 hours?
Known as the “s” word of busy people, the act of “shoulding” all over ourselves and others is the fastest route to blame, guilt, and even shame.
Imagine what life would be like if you embraced more self-compassion and ditched this default reaction of “shoulding” and ruminating on what didn’t happen or hasn’t occurred yet.
What if you decided to live this year differently?
Imagine how your personal life, professional career, and family would change.
As we welcome a new year, we invite you to consider how you’ve been living and what you’ve been producing. Are you proud of your life now? Or do you need to make some changes?
Join us this month as we share how to develop more resilience in yourself and your children so you can start the year off stronger and more equipped for whatever is ahead!
As we wrap up another full year, what’s NOW for you?
Take a moment a reflect on what this year has held and what you’re proud to have experienced and completed – or simply started – before forging ahead to the next thing.
While being future-focused serves a purpose, it also takes us away from being present and reflecting on our lives now. This month, join us as we practice the value of reflection.
When you follow through, people know that they can trust you. While it often feels impossible to juggle all the demands of life, being true to our word isn’t conditional.
Rather, it’s a core condition of living with integrity.
This month, we’re exploring the value of accountability and how we are known by our commitments.
This is the great equalizer and common denominator, no matter who you are, where you live, or what circumstances you find yourself in: You have the powerful choice to decide your mindset and take action (or stay in inaction) accordingly.
We were made to show up and serve.
Service starts with the desire and the willingness to be a change agent and advocate, whether that’s at home with your family or on a larger community or global landscape. This month, we’re highlighting the intention of service and how you can make a difference
Flexibility is much easier than it sounds and harder than you think. It requires a release of expectations, a willingness to be in the moment, and an acknowledgement that you cannot (and should not) control everything.
As the last few weeks of summer melt into fall and the hustle continues, let’s take this month to consider how to approach living with more flexibility, starting with how we relate to what happens…and what doesn’t!
Do you remember when you did something really hard on your own for the first time?
Choosing autonomy challenges and stretches us.
It also creates capacity for the next time we’re faced with something really hard that we decide to take on.
But what gets in the way or trying something new? Learn the three of the most common “autonomy blockers” that we experience at all stages of our lives and what we can do about them!
Think back to the first time you learned how much you really didn’t know about something.
Maybe it was even an area you assumed a level of confidence or even expertise in.
And then suddenly you realized your blind spot (or maybe some well-intentioned person shared it with you!) and you could no longer ignore it…
We’ve all been there. We call this place self-awareness. And it takes authenticity!
