How many times a day do you lose it?
With your kids, with your spouse, with strangers on the street, with a neighbour, or even with the TV.
This question isn’t about making you feel bad about losing it, because we all do, but rather to help you become aware of how many times you allow yourself to become upset or “lose it” because of a situation, a person or your kids.
You might think… “ if it weren’t for everybody and everything else, I would be the calmest person ever!” … but the reality is that you can’t control whatever or whoever is outside of you.
However, you can control your own reactions.
If you are struggling to be a calm parent and practice gentle or positive parenting, that is because it’s tough to be kind and calm to our kids when our own internal state is a mess.
It’s difficult to step back and think how to react better to this situation instead of shouting when feeling overwhelmed, tired and stressed out.
And this is exactly where meditation can help, in giving you that space and that ability to take a step back instead of constantly reacting.
