Parent Mantras for the days we are surviving not thriving!

Leave a comment

I know there are days when I can just go shove my mantras where the sun don’t shine šŸ˜… Straight in the bin šŸ¤Ŗ There are days so challenging that our parental brains wouldn’t let us get to the point of even remembering these or being able to repeat these to ourselves. But there are days where these might help soothe the heart and redirect brain ā¤ļø šŸ§  They may give you the prompt you need to reset or reframe the challenge of the day.

Remembering their age and how many days they are on this planet has always helped me when I feel like screaming and days I need to scream I just go outside and do that when they ask what’s wrong I tell them I thought I saw a ghost šŸ‘» šŸ¤£ That helps too because then we all have a good laugh šŸ˜ƒ
