In Episode #38 with Amy Rasmussen we talked about "matchstick moments". Today we are going to dive a little bit deeper into this concept and what it means for you.

I want you to close your eyes and picture yourself in a pitch dark room. Maybe a cellar of some sort? No windows. It's dark. You cannot see anything. Then behind you comes a light. Maybe a candle, a match, a flashlight even. Our lives our often like this. We have those times of feeling underwater and overwhelmed. Then someone shows up at the door with your favorite drink, or treat, or just a hug. A matchstick moment is when light shows up in your life.

The trick with these matchstick moments is that you can create them. When you have the tools to know that you can find light in the darkness, you can begin to see them and create them. Know those times when you are struggling - are you doing the things that bring you hope in your life? Have you forgotten to take care of yourself? Dive deep into what is happening, in order to know how to bring light into your own life, or the lives of those around you.

Elder Brian K. Taylor said, “As we follow the examples of the Savior and the Prophet Joseph in earnestly seeking God, we will come to understand in a very real way… that our Father knows us by name, that we are His children. To mothers, especially young mothers, who often feel overwhelmed and underwater while striving to raise “a sin-resistant generation,” never underestimate your central role in God’s plan. In stressful moments—perhaps when you are chasing little ones and a charred smell from the kitchen informs you that your lovingly prepared dinner is now a burnt offering—know that God sanctifies your most difficult days. “Fear thou not; for I am with thee,” He peacefully reassures.”

Judging other people is something we all do, instead let's get curious about WHY we are worried about or judging someone. Takeaway #2 today from Amy's podcast.

Judging. Comparison. Observing. We all do them. However, what if you learned how to make those things about us, and not about them. Meaning, instead of judging someone for what a terrible mom they are - what if you just kept walking. What if you just observed instead of judged. Notice what is happening, and then maybe take note of what you've seen. Decide if what you've seen is something that you want to implement as a mother, a wife, a friend, etc. If it is, great! You've got a new tool and something new to try. If not, great. You know what you don't think will work well in your life.

Julie B. Beck said, "Anti-Christ is anti-family." When you judge - others or yourselves - you become anti-Christ. As a divine infinite daughter of God, you always have worth and value. That will never, ever change. Learning to observe, or be curious about why you are judging someone or upset with them is a good place to start. Make sure you use that same tactic when you're looking in the mirror and thoughts are running ramped in your mind that have no business there.

The world surrounds us everyday with comments and thoughts and things it wants us to believe about ourselves. You need this. Act like that. This influences us to believe a variety of things about ourselves. However, they are not true - most of the time! How do you find out who your true self is?

Look back in your life. Dig deep into yourself. Who is there? Can you find the value that you always have within you? It is there! You have worth. You have a value. There is a loving God who wants to see you again and wants you to do your best while you're here. He wants you to know that you are important. Your worth never changes. Ever!

Let's unpack this quote together and figure out how you can look inside yourself to find your true self.

Amy's Story

Amy is sharing her story of motherhood with us today. She starts off by letting us know about a time where she suddenly became so overwhelmed that the usual hustle and bustle of her life was not possible. Amy recognized this, and reached out to her mom and husband. She started therapy and found out that she is a Highly Sensitive Person.

During therapy Amy learned about the middle mind, logical mind, and the emotional mind. She teaches us about these three mind frames and how they effect us as mothers and how we can use them as tools for our selves and for our childre.

Amy dives deeper into teaching us about taking advantage and seeing "matchstick moments". She tells us how to appreciate each day as a gift. We also learn from Amy that comparison (or observation) when done in the right mind is not a bad thing. When we observe and see how someone is teaching or acting or what they are doing, and decide if that is something we want to add to our lives, or not. We can better ourselves by learning from others.

As we learn to process emotions, we sit in them. We feel them. We understand what is behind the secondary emotions we so often hide behind.

Learning what our ACTUAL emotions are behind those secondary emotions will give us answers we are looking for. An understanding and clarity come that we didn't know we could have. It takes courage to sit in our emotions though. When we do it - the pay off is incredible!
