Starting the day off right can set the tone for your whole day!
Parenting Intentionally takes a a lot of energy and a clear head. It takes forethought and vision. It demands we take care of ourselves as well as our children. Here are 4 things I do to start my day off right: 1. I keep something on my bedside table that pampers ME a bit! Just something simple...a nice lotion, some pretty flowers, a big bottle of water. I spend a few minutes taking care of me. 2. I find my HOPE! There are many techniques I use; it depends on the day. Music (I choose to wake up to music rather then beeping), prayer, meditation,visualization, journaling for starters. 3. I CHOOSE to start with a clean slate! I forgive myself. I forgive my child. I let go of yesterday and start new. 4. I tweak my PLAN for the day ahead! I move my "stuff" out of the way. I remind myself of my child's deficits. I create opportunities for success. I make sure my child feels safe...all his needs are met (emotional and physical). NOW, I am ready to face what ever the day throws my way. I am ready to meet my child right where he is. I am ready to be an Intentional Parent. I CAN build the Safety Net my child needs and deserves!
