When we learn about ourselves and HOW to work with ourselves, we're empowering ourselves to be able to show up and be strong, and I don't mean strong like we don't feel the impact of the hard things, but that we've got this core strength internally to handle the challenges no matter what life throws us. This is resilience! In today's episode we celebrate the one year anniversary of Leadership Parenting by reviewing the top few things that help us become resilient. It's a quick review but one that can help us remember how far we have come in learning these concepts! By regularly revisiting resilience concepts, we can train our brains to adopt a resilient mindset, leading to a life filled with confidence and joy.

We all experience automatic negative thoughts. They come really without our choice, and they can also make our life feel really heavy and hard when we're worrying about the future or unforgiving of mistakes or maybe even thinking of the worst things that could happen in our life. Negative thoughts tend to become habitual thinking and come so fast into our heads that we're totally at their mercy. One of the ways to deal with this is to create alternative thoughts that give us more possibility and that match more of how we want to think. This is what affirmations do, they counter detrimental thoughts with empowering truths about ourselves,

In this episode, I show you how to draft affirmations that are not mere platitudes but reflections of your deepest strengths. Whether you're affirming "I am safe" or celebrating that "There is more love in my life than fear," you can cultivate a practice of affirmations that mirror the support you'd give to a cherished friend! Join me as we talk about affirmation so we can think better and feel better!
