Bliss from Within

There is a big difference between a calm child and a quiet child. A quiet child may be quietly playing or watching TV but inside their brain and nervous system is buzzing! They are withdrawing, not coping. A calm child looks very different. They are relaxed and at ease. Focusing easily on what they are doing while still being aware of what is going on around them & inside of them. ... I find the easiest way to help toddlers connect to their calm is to be in nature! Quick easy tips for grounding: 1) bask in the sun 2) hug a tree 3) take deep conscious breaths of fresh air #patchamama #motherofusall #returning #funinthesun #bettertogether #momlife #selfreg #connectionnotcorrection #wholeheartedparenting #consciousparenting #respectfulparenting #attachmentparenting #responsiveparenting #peacefulparenting #feelthefuckingfeelings #findingbliss #blissfromwithin #famjamisthebestjam #familylove #wifey #healthyself

Only ask Once. If you make a request of your child and they do not respond, please do not make yourself crazy by asking again and again. Their lack of response IS a response. ... They are telling us that they are not able to do what you are asking. They are feeling disconnected. Instead, get close, do something to get their attention like rubbing their back. The propose a game or start to play. Example: let’s do a thumb war and then it’s time to go the the table for supper. Or Guess what! It’s time to go so I’m going to put my shoes and coat on and proceed to try and put on their coat and shoes. Try putting your foot in their shoe oh man! I can’t get it on! Can you help me?! The idea is to get them in the moment with you, if you can get them laughing all the better! They might even say, no, mom! You’re doing it wrong take the shoe and put it on themselves....and you didn’t even ask them to!

Mama Burnout can look like: no longer being interested in the things you enjoy easily triggered taking time for yourself feels impossible overwhelmed by your own emotions ... low motivation for daily activities increased anxiety feelings of shame exhaustion If you feel this way, I’ve got you! This is where I used to operate from and why I am now SO passionate about helping Mama’s come home to themselves!!! I know it’s hard to believe now but putting yourself first really will make it easier to be more present, loving, patient and playful with your Kiddos! Wanna go deeper?

I remember when it sunk in that I needed to play with my kids and not just once and awhile but regularly. My first thought was I don’t have time for that! (This was pre lockdown lol) However, on further self examination I realized that I was afraid because I did not feel I knew HOW to play. ... So I started small. 10 mins of special time a day, which is child directed play. This felt safer because she was in the lead. Then I started using play for the hardest parts of the day. At the time that was getting the toddler into the car. So a few minutes before we had to leave we became the PJ masks and we had to get to the ‘cat mobile’ Once she was buckled we would shout their saying, into the night to save the day! And let me tell you I felt like a damn super hero every time! Now, play is a part of almost everything we do! It’s just so much more FUN that way! Does play come naturally for you or is it something that you also have to work at?

Often what we see as bad behaviour in kids is really stress behaviour. By reframing the way we look at a child’s behaviour in this way we can observe the meaning of the behaviour and adjust our responses accordingly. This is that start of teaching our kids to self- regulate. They learn by watching us. #bettertogether #momlife #connectionnotcorrection #wholeheartedparenting #consciousparenting #respectfulparenting #attachmentparenting #responsiveparenting #peacefulparenting #feelthefuckingfeelings #findingbliss #blissfromwithin #famjamisthebestjam #familylove #wifey #healthyself

We now have not 1, not 2 but 3 of these OmniQards in our house! The energy in our home has been feeling ‘off’ since Dec 18. (Yes, I remember the date) All my usual practices did not seem to be making a difference I finally asked the Universe for a miracle, as the lack of sleep was real and the fighting between Kiddos was at an all time high.... Enter the OmniQard...the next day! An OmniQard blocks EMFs. We started with just one as I was not sure if it would make a noticeable difference. It did!!! I cannot believe how much calmer my body now feels Not to mention that we ALL slept better AND the fighting was almost not existent the next day. All I could think was how much better would we feel with one under everyone’s bed at night?! Tonight is our first night with 3 so I will have to let you know but the energy feels so good in our house right now #bettertogether #momlife #connectionnotcorrection #wholeheartedparenting #consciousparenting #respectfulparenting #attachmentparenting #responsiveparenting #peacefulparenting #feelthefuckingfeelings #findingbliss #blissfromwithin #famjamisthebestjam #familylove #wifey #healthyself

Learning to FEEL each emotion as it comes up BEFORE responding has been a trip! An all day everyday (sometimes grind). In comparison, sitting in quiet contemplation seems much easier. ... In reality I know that they are skills that build on one another and each becomes harder without the other.

Does anyone else dislike small talk?! The same way I LOVE to have meaningful conversations with the adults in my life. Meaningful conversations with my kids help us feel connected. Even very young ones are very capable of engaging more deeply than we might first assume. Especially, if the conversations happen during play with dolls, Teddy’s, cars ect. ... #soulconnections #playlistening #whattrulymatters #specialtime #blissfromwithin
