The definition of disappointment is when your expectations don't meet the reality and this happens a lot of the time. Many times it happens when we have reached our capacity limit.

Day to day your capacity can change, depending on many variables that you can't control.

You are not a computer or a cell phone -- you're a human and "recharging" your battery isn't always super simple.

Within this episode we talk about what you can do to recharge yourself and how to protect your boundaries from others who may be draining.

I also talk about a "Bucket Filling" book that my children read in school -- and one that is a great metaphor for life.

At the end of the day, you can really only rely on and control yourself.

So go slow and Simply. Look. Only. Within.

I'm joined today with a very special guest, Amylee, aka The Productive Mama. She is a wife and mom to 3 girls and has created an amazing resource for parents!

Amylee was one of those mamas who had home births, used cloth diapers, and homeschooled. Now she uses her experience to inspire new moms.

This this episode of our Slow Parenting Series we are talking about emotional regulation and how we can teach this to our children.

To be able to teach emotional regulation to your kids you need to be able to self regulate your own emotions. It is not healthy for children to be in an environment that their caretakers lash out in ways that they can't expect. So you need to take a minute a look within! Where you are is where you are, where you are is not where you want to be and where you want to go. Slow living is about taking steps to get to where you want to go.

How do you teach emotional regulation to your kids if your not emotionally regulated yourself?

How to implement in your own family?

Let's talk about how you can regulate your emotions so that you can be the best version of yourself to teach your own children.

As we continue through the Slow Parenting Series, let's take a pause and go back to the basics. The purpose of slow parenting is to slow down and thoughtfully and purposefully plan what is next. Today we are talking about school age readiness! Here are some key points that I want you to take away from this episode:

• You can go into things with a plan but also be prepared for those plans to change
• Sometimes what is best is to unplug from researching and just be present
• Keep the end in sight, you are not raising children but you are raising adults

I have a degree in Early Childhood Education and child psychology and have spent my entire adult life working with children and families.

In this episode I share some ideas on how to best prepare your child for the academic, social, emotional, and physical aspects of full day school.

For more information on school age readiness, you may enjoy reading some ideas I have on "afterschool homeschooling," here.

What does it mean to have a minimal mindset? We are talking about simple and actionable steps to get you there.

My favorite acronym for SLOW is Simply Look Only Within and I use this in everything I do. In fact, it goes right along with my daily journaling guide that I am sharing with you today! In the journal, I talk about something called the Peace Pyramid which is comprised of 6 parts.

• Time Management
• Health
• Finances
• Organization
• Relationships
• Peace

When you are surrounded by clutter it affects how you feel on a daily basis. However, organization can give you instant relief and rescue from the overwhelm. Creating a daily schedule can also help you achieve your to do list in a more simpler way. These are all topics we are talking about in today's episode!

Just remember, move forward with intention.

Are you ready to create your own minimal mindset?
