À propos de cet audio
Hey there, friend. It's Julia, and I'm so glad you're here. You know, Sunday mornings have this particular energy, don't they? There's this quiet before the week storms in, and if you're a parent, you might be feeling that familiar flutter in your chest. That little voice wondering how you're going to keep it together when homework becomes a battleground or bedtime turns into a three-ring circus. So today, we're going to practice something I call the Compassionate Reset, and it's going to change how you show up for your kids this week.
Let's start by getting comfortable. You can sit, stand, or even sit cross-legged on the floor. Whatever feels natural. Now, just notice where you are right now without judgment. The sounds around you, the temperature of the air, the weight of your body. You're here. That's what matters.
Let's breathe together. Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four. Feel your belly rise like you're filling up a balloon. Now exhale through your mouth for a count of six. That's it. Again. In for four, out for six. One more time. Beautiful. Already you're different than you were thirty seconds ago. Your nervous system is beginning to settle.
Now, here's the heart of what we're doing. Think about your child in a moment when they're dysregulated. Maybe they're upset, maybe they're having a meltdown. Instead of immediately jumping to fix it, I want you to imagine yourself as a mountain. You know how mountains don't move when the wind blows? They just stand there, solid and present? That's going to be you. When your kid is the storm, you're the mountain.
Bring to mind your own calm place. Maybe it's the beach, a forest, or even just your kitchen with coffee in hand. Really see it. What colors are there? What do you hear? Can you smell anything? Sink into that feeling for a moment. This is your anchor.
Here's the practice: whenever your child loses it this week, take one conscious breath. Just one. Feel your feet on the ground. Touch something solid. You're the mountain. Your calm is the greatest gift you can give them. Children regulate their nervous systems by being near yours. Your peace becomes theirs.
Thank you so much for spending this time with me on Mindful Parenting: Daily Tips for Raising Calm Kids. If this landed for you, please subscribe so these practices show up in your week when you need them most. You're doing an incredible job, by the way. Keep being that mountain.
