We all love to have that friend that tells us life is so hard, but do you have that person that will also challenge you? What if the problem really is you? It's easy to get inside our own heads and hyper-focus. Remember that song, “Hi, it’s me. I’m the problem, it’s me.” Ya, that song is a stab in the gut to admit, but often the truth. 

We've all been there. We have all thought, "everybody has abandoned me, I’m the victim, why is everyone so awful to me?" BUT could this be a tell tale sign that it isn't them? 

Before we spend long days around lots of people we may not "like" let's challenge ourselves with some truths. So we are mentally prepared for awkward moments.

When Life Is Crap

This week we have an awesome activity so grab that paper and pen and let's get started! Have multiple kids? Grab a few pages. This will be a good one!

In this week's episode, we are going to look into the words our kids believe. The things our kids do that frustrate us, or make us happy. Do you see a link between their beliefs and your frustrations? 

We as parents can build our kids up and help them succeed when we pinpoint the beliefs, struggles, and lies.  But pin pointing these can be tough. Which is why I am going to share some lies, and some questions for you to ask yourself and keep in your tool box for later.

So instead of avoiding the big emotions, we are going to work on accepting our experiences and make the healthy changes to succeed! I have the 5 steps for you, when life feels like absolute crap!
