October 22, 2015 #008: OVERCOMING OVER-SCHEDULING

OVERCOMING OVER-SCHEDULING
EPISODE #008:

Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation.
–Robert A. Heinlein

WHAT ARE THE DANGERS AND SIDE-EFECTS OF OVER-SCHEDULING?

Mental stress and pervasive anxiety
Lasting feelings of fatigue and being worn down
Feeling always just a little bit behind and never good enough
Hyper-focus on performance versus being present and alive
Health and metabolic disruption caused by stress eating or unhealthy eating
Insufficient and interrupted sleep
Disconnected – and rushed – relationships
Diminished quality time with family and friends
Living for the weekend but feeling like they fly by
Feeling overwhelmed with life and pressured to do more

"Parents need to teach their kids to balance human doing with human being, kids need to know they're not defined by what they do, she said. They need time to play, experiment, rest and figure out who they are." -clinical psychologist Paula Bloom.

"As parents, we've got to get over our anxiety that we're not doing enough. Creating a sense of safety, helping kids have confidence to try certain things, those are the things that matter." – Paula Bloom

Ivin Rosenfeld, M.D., a child psychiatrist and author of The Over-Scheduled Child: Avoiding the Hyper-Parenting Trap, believes that enrolling children – and ourselves – in too many activities is a nationwide problem. “Overscheduling our children is not only a widespread phenomenon, it’s how we parent today. Parent feel remiss that they’re not being good parents if their kids aren’t in all kinds of activities. Children are under pressure to achieve, to be competitive.”

WAYS TO RECLAIM YOUR DAY:

Focus on “enjoying” the day, not “doing” the day.

Have a to-do list, but keep it small.

Build in “white time”

Learn how to say “no”

Never let guilt be your motivator

Take more recess – make moving your body the cornerstone of your wellness

Prioritize creativity for yourself – and for your kids

Use Sundays to map out your next week

Polish your next-day priorities before going to bed at night

HOW YOU LIVE IS HOW YOUR CHILDREN WILL LEARN TO LIVE.
YOUR EXAMPLE MATTERS.

Consider the example you are setting for your children. Do you want them to live an overscheduled life? What message are you currently passing down to them and is it the message you want them to hear? As parents we have the unique opportunity to demonstrate a lifestyle and attitude towards life to our children – what we show them is what will come most naturally to them in the future. How do you wish for your child to experience the world as an adult? Stressed out and always trying to accomplish something and prove something, or fully engaged in enjoying life and pursuing creative excellence in all they do?

A poll by HealthAmerica from 2006 revealed that out of 882 children, 41 percent between the ages of 9 and 13 felt stressed all of the time or most of the time, because they have too much to do. Of those same children surveyed, 78 percent wished they had more free time.

LET’S GET INTO THE CONFIDENT CONTENT:

Comparison is the thief of joy. –Teddy Roosevelt

This episode isn’t just about the supermom – or what I like to refer to as supermom syndrome – we’re actually going to devote an entire episode to that topic alone. What we are talking about today is the disease of comparison.

WHY DO WE COMPARE OURSELVES SO MUCH?

We engage in comparison because we are approaching life from a fundamentally flawed viewpoint: that we are in competition with others and that we must use them to measure and evaluate ourselves. Our connection to the cult of comparison is fed by our belief that our value is based on what we do, not who we are.

Comparison is the by-product of criticism and self-judgment. Desperate to know we are enough, we judge ourselves and assess our value based off of how we see others are doing. Sometimes this leaves us feeling less than, other times we feel elevated and more than. Either outcome is dangerous.

THREE WAYS TO OVERCOME COMPARISON:

1. Change your belief system.

You must train your thoughts to know that your value as a human being does not lie in what you have accomplished, in the number on the scale, in your success at the office or in the size of your car or house. Your value is in who you are; in who God created you to be. It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with character.

This is a major mental overall – an entire cognitive reconstruction – and it will take time. Work to change your belief system by

Deciding that your current value-system is flawed and you want to change it
Meditating on the statement that you are enough because of who you are, not what you do
Journaling and writing about this concept, what it has meant to you in the past and what it will mean to you in the future; write about what kind of freedom this new belief system might bring you
Pray and talk to God, asking Him to overhaul the flawed thinking of your mind and asking Him to empower you to see yourself and your value from His eyes.

2. Actively pursue celebrating others

When we learn to celebrate and sincerely admire others, rather than looking to others as measuring markers, we can start to find freedom from the dangerously toxic cycle of self-judgment we put ourselves under.

Do this by:

Being the first to say hello
Being the friendliest and most generous neighbor on the block
Being affirming and complimentary to others
Being sincere in acknowledging someone else’s success
Being actually interested (yes, actually listening) to what someone else is really saying
Being involved in the lives of others in a way that builds them up and supports them
Being confident in being yourself because you are the only you created…therefore, there is no need to compare or measure yourself…the...

7 FAQS FOR MY DAUGHTER ABOUT CHEMICALS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

I am a right-brained person. I love words, I love literature and I love anything creative. I understand math and science, because, well, my mom raised me to be a good student, but I like to forget as much of it as I can unless it is absolutely necessary. My mind simply doesn’t like to dwell on or think about anything that ends in –ology, which contributes to the explanation of my previous lack of involvement in activism for natural wellness. The phrase natural wellness itself bores me and makes me want to run away. Because I value being a good citizen, I have always cared about the environment and about the biology of the eco-system, but, my care never translated to action. I avoided conversations about organic choices, dug in my heels of ignorance about global climate change and certainly wrote off activism of any type, that is, until I realized just how much it all actually did relate to me. Previously my brain had been lost in translation, but as a result of one powerful documentary and one well written book, I was compelled into change…not because I hadn’t cared before, but because I finally understood the implications of what all of that left-brain talk really meant for me, a right-brain girl just trying to be a good wife, a good mom and a good motivator for my community to be physically healthy. A personal trainer by trade, health and well-being is of the utmost importance to me…but I never wanted to take it to the next level – and I mean the natural level – before, until now.

To help me make the left-brain to right-brain transition, I had to break down the big,
