One of my favorite teachers.

I see it everyday. In myself, in my family and friends, and in my precious clients. Never Enough is a mantra we all practice.

How about tuning into where you are on this in this moment. Deep slow exhale. Replace that message to "I am enough in each and every moment by just being me."

While parts of you may not believe it, parts of you are listening and will drink that in and feel supported.

This is a great teaching for kids (and us). Being present means feeling our feelings and being ok with what they are AND getting the support we need to express and move through them.

So with children, acknowledge how they feel, ask them what they need to express them, allow them the time and space to do that with any support they need. Praise them for having the courage to do that. Remind them, after they express themselves, the good thing is that feelings are like waves, they come and they go.

You might get them a feelings list to help them identify their feelings and have a basket with crayons or markers so they can color and write to get them out. Or if they are really jazzed up, ask them to choose a song so they can dance and sing them out. If they need quiet, help them create a safe space to cocoon and just rest and maybe watch an old movie they love or read an old bedtime story.

Give them TIME to do that.

Remind yourself, it is better for them to feel what they feel, put words to what they feel, learn to claim and express their feelings, instead of shutting down, escaping on their devices, or hding how they feel. No matter how messy it looks and sounds :)

Here is your intention for the week.

So as someone who works with teens and parents, I witness a great deal of frustration and shame as the younger ones tell me their stories about friends and parents reactions to them. I encourage them to talk it out, dump it out on paper, draw it, while imaging they are telling their best friend in the world everything they feel without having to edit it.

THEN we look at how their hurt parts have themes and if we can imagine those hurt parts (naming them...my critic, my worrier, my cranky part), inviting them to sit next to us, like we would do with our friends, and asking them, what else do you need? We start to shift from powerless to witness and then we can figure out if there is more to do or if we just needed to let out some feelings before we created more stories about ourselves not being enough.

Most often, adults try to "fix" the problem (unhappy feeling or reaction) when all that is really needed is a kind space to release those feelings and then consider what else would ease us through the experience. Then time to engage with something that feels good and allow the new story to emerge. A "positive" thought is not meant to replace the actual experience, instead it comes after the allowing the expression of feelings. It can be as simple as "I'm glad I took the time to let myself talk it out."

A practice for sure for adults who want to make everything better right away....requires being in the midst of raw painful feelings without trying to change them. But this is what builds emotional resiliency over time, and gives the teen the support and message that you believe in their capacity to sort through their own experience with loving support.
WIn-Win.

Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were, tomorrow’s a fresh opportunity to make it better.

All about pleasing others and making shifts towards pleasing and loving yourself.
Step 1. Be honest with yourself about how you really feel about something stressing you.
Jot things down, go for a short stroll, listen to some quiet music.
Step 2. Honor whatever feelings show up.
Step 3. Ask those parts of you gentle questions. "What else do I want to be choosing?"
Step 4. Talk it through with a trusted other to gain perspective.
Step 5. Be ok choosing something different than you usually do. Even if its a small step in the direction you want to go.
Step 6. Be uncomfortable when others are not happy with you, themselves, a situation and STILL choose what honors you.

You know you’re being true to yourself—and not conforming just to please other people—if most of these things are true for you.
