 Lately I've ben reflecting a lot about sharing my journey as a mom with even more transparency and vulnerability. On one side I know in my heart that some moms are struggling and they desperately need me sharing what has worked for me and my clients over the years and today, On the other side, I am extremely scared to talk about the messy and controversial side of things... especially because I am part of a positive community which is geared toward empowerment. I had my website reviewed by a like-minded marketing expert over four years ago who advised me to dim down the adjectives that I used in describing my story of a single mom raising three kids alone in a foreign country. She recommended to not be so "graphic" (these were her words), when I wrote about the visions of horror that were waking me up at night in anxiety, my heart beating a 1000/minute (of course that's a very French dramatisation :-)) All that time I felt the urge to talk about how horrible this experience had been... I wanted to tell about it in my words, with the intensity that I felt at the time. So this is me starting! Today I am telling about something that I have seen at the pool, which at this point of my growth, I find quite violent to expose a child to. Yet this is something we may do - I know, I've done some similar things in the past without thinking twice but is so detrimental for our and our teens' self-image -we are always their biggest role models! Of course I am coming from love<3
I am not sharing this so you'd judge yourself about having done that in the past! It still is so easy to miss these bad habits but so easily fixable... Let me know how it lands fo you in the comments below. I would also be so gratefull to you if, you could like my blog if it reasonates. Despite my tendency to speak and write in Frenglish and my occasional dyslexia, I just felt compelled to start blogging-lol Thank you for your support <3 May you have a blessed week.😘

 The Universe is always guiding, protecting and assisting me! This is one version of my favorite, most often practiced affirmation and this week IT did it again! To give you some feedback- but I'm sure you know ;-) - I have been suffering from chronic back pain for quite some time now, so this week I was scheduled for a spine procedure. They were to insert a long needle very close to my spine, right at the root of one of the nerves going down my leg and send some radio frequencies with the goal of desensitizing the nerve. Let's just start by aknowledging the wonders of modern medecine for which I am SO grateful. Even though I underwent a similar, more intrusive procedure in March 2023, which lowered my pain considerably for over a year, this time was a completely different story. This time I was actually scared and very apprehensive. I even had a nightmare the night before. Of course, me being a brain trainer and a glass-half-full person, I tried my best to envision the highest outcome. It didn't really work, the fear was there, even when I was trying to ignore it so I knew that trying to control my fear with my thoughts wasn't enough... I had to use Tapping. So I did. I tapped on my fear, I tappend on the "catastrophizing" thougt of me losing the use of my leg and anything else that came to mind. Then, and only then, after I scared myself enough and neutralised my emotional reaction, was I able to envision the best result. I am happy to report that it went smoothly and my pain level has already gone done - only two days after ❤️ Why am I telling you that? Not to be dramatic, Not to brag about getting out of negative thinking, NO! Somehow, it again has to do with the video that was meant to be released this week: The One way that conscious parents sabotage the impact of their efforts with their teens. I explained how this happens in a way that is not so identifyable and we perhaps do it in other areas of our lives too!
Thanks for watching and let me know below if you've discovered that you were doing it too. |
