Children learn at birth that their parents are their lifeline, their role model, their representation of who they “should” be. Eventually they grow up and experience grief in learning that their parents are not who they thought they were and must learn to accept who they are. This can be challenging for some people. Take a moment to reflect......What stops you from apologizing to your child? How would it feel for your child to say that you hurt them? How can you encourage your child to advocate for their feelings even if it’s towards you?

Over our lives we encounter people, situations and tragedies that damage us. In the medical field it is encouraged to treat ailments intentionally as to help your body heal healthfully and correctly. Mental Trauma is no different. Time alone may seem like healing but it often does more damage. True healing must be intentional. Take a moment to reflect. What hurt have you suffered in your life? Have you healed from it completely? If so, what did you do to intentionally heal? If not, what is keeping you from healing intentionally?

Our emotions are very important and should be respected. Many times we smother, ignore, and neglect our emotions. The same way that we give a voice to, sit with and protect our children is the same way that we are to for our emotions. Take a moment to reflect......Think of your emotions as your children and name them? Which emotion have you been neglecting and why? Which emotion are you giving most of your attention to and why? If your emotions could talk what would they say?

I’m not a morning talk person but my son Tony always gets me to talk by asking thought provoking questions (future therapist). This morning he got me talking about my grandma Mary. He asked me what she was like, and the special treat that was for me to go back in my mind to moments that I spent with her. 

On my way to work. I felt something in my spirit tell me to go visit her gravesite. There were a lot of tears that I shed talking to her. When she passed, I was 19 years old, and I hate that she never got to know me as a man.Today will be an emotional day for me, but sometimes we need this to remember that we’re human.

Doris Day once sang these impactful words in 1956. Many times in our lives we struggle with handling the unknown. Trying to control things we have no control of is quite a daunting task. This can be the foundation of our anxieties. Take a moment to reflect....... What is something that you are currently stressing over? What parts are you in control over? What parts are you not in control over? What can you do to take the power back within yourself?

When reading a book the title of a chapter can really set the tone for your emotions, expectations and outlook of a story. Take a moment to reflect. When answering this question, why would this chapter of your life be titled this way? What tone does this title set for the reader? Is this chapter in the beginning, middle or end of this novel? What lesson is to be learned in this chapter?

As we live and form relationships we are met with certain characteristics that give us cause to pause. We call these "Red Flags." Often times we treat these as insignificant and/or deal-breakers. Doing so ruins any chance of forging a healthy connection and that red flag can transform into an impenetrable mountain in the middle of your relationship. Take a moment to reflect. What red flags are you noticing in your relationships that you are currently building? How are you addressing them? Are you ignoring them? Are you explaining them away? What do you believe will happen if you address them? Why do you believe this?

My son, Tony, recently finished soccer season and I bought some player cards for him to give out to his family and friends. I noticed in his bookbag that the cards were still there so I asked him about that and he told me that he didn't want to give his cards to anyone bc he was afraid they would laugh at him. This bothered the hell out of me and it made me think about how it is important for us to speak life and positivity into our children daily because we have no idea the things that they go through when they are not in our presence. Take a moment to reflect.....What type of affirmations do you tell your children.
