Insight

Regulation isn’t only calm or no emotions. It’s being able to thoughtfully respond instead of automatically react. And to show up in my response in the way I chose to.

I am so tired of my two littles not listening, tired of them not napping when they should or not eating well. I want them to do what they need, for them to also respond, behave, and learn better. But I don’t control them. I can only influence them. Model what should be, positively encourage the good things.

This practice gives me the space to better release my expectations, especially when they aren’t working, and respond from a more compassionate place… even when I am angry and honestly, a little fed up. I know ultimately, this is just a season and it’s okay.

Day 9.
