Are you feeling your energy shift? Is that 180-degree u-turn from conventional parenting happening so that you get totally turned on by positivity – giving your child or student intense reaction, connection and relationship for everything that’s going right AND everything that’s not going wrong? Are you getting good at flat-lining from negativity – no energy, no reaction, no relationship, just the most boring utterance of “reset” as you turn away to prepare for the next moment of success?
You’re experiencing the shift, but not maintaining it every moment? So are we! That’s the point of today’s message:
You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to do the approach perfectly to get great results – with yourself, your children and in all of your relationships. The glory is going for greatness again in the next moment.
That’s the freedom being in the moment brings; that’s the grace you tap into by using the approach on yourself. “Oops that was a leak,” you say to yourself when you recognize that you got caught up in a negative exchange. “Oh, forgot to hoist my positivity antennae this morning,” you say when you realize you missed a chance to super-energize your child before school. No need to judge or belittle yourself.
Your awareness is the reset, and it’s evidence of your shift. Simply choose in the next moment to get right back on the three legged stool of energizing positivity, de-energizing negativity and scrupulously but unemotionally calling time-outs for any and every infraction of the rules.
Resetting yourself in this manner in front of your child or students is an energetic exchange that they’ll understand so much faster and deeper than any verbal explanation. Challenging children in particular receive the message of your energy long before your words; that is, if the words register at all. Your energy IS the message, and it’s dispatched and received instantaneously – heart to heart.
See Your Greatness!
