It's Common to Think Your Not Good Enough

We have 60,000 thoughts each day. 85% of those thoughts are negative. 95% of those thoughts are habitual thoughts. 

It's okay! 

This is part of being human. 

You do though, have the power to retrain your brain and develop new thought patterns. 

It's natural to think that you are not good enough, but I promise you that you are good enough! You are exactly the parent that your teen needs. 

Now, you get to move forward and become the parent of your dreams. 

Powerful Questions

The quality of your life is a reflection of the quality of questions that you ask yourself. 

Jody shared some powerful questions. 

• Who do I want to be NOW?
• What would love do?
• What's the most loving thing to do next?
• What if nothing's gone wrong here?
• What if this was always meant to happen this way?

I like to ask "How can I be the change I want to see in the other person?"

Reprograming Your Brain Is Uncomfortable

Resisting your emotions slows down the process. 

You get to choose how you think.

Embrace your present reality!

Practice identifying and understanding your thoughts. 

It's natural to think negatively, and most of our thoughts are simply habitual and patterns. 

Your Children's Struggles Make them Stronger

The experiences our children go through give them confidence. 

They gain confidence, compassion, identity, skills, everything from overcoming trials.

This is something that I am actually working on in my home with my teenagers, all of my kids actually. 

I want to allow them, invite them, and even challenge them to do hard things. 

This helps me fulfill my role as a dad. 

It also helps my kids develop so many qualities that I want them to develop.
