Read on to find out how it really can take just five minutes to restore your calm and when you are calmer, you have more capacity to enjoy your kids and more head space to get more done!
Does your school run look like this?
Can you relate?
You overslept because you only dropped off in the early hours having spent the rest of the night worrying about how you were going to get it all done today.
You rushed your children to get ready for school and lost your temper with one of them because they refused to wear their coat.
You had a near miss in traffic on the way to school because the kids were arguing in the back of the car.
You arrived at school stressed and irritated and your youngest asked you if you still loved him.
You were late for work still carrying the guilt and stress of the morning run.
Are you wondering how long you can carry on like this?
Are you wondering what the point of life is?
Are you craving time for yourself but feeling guilty that you haven’t spent quality time with your kids or your partner?
How to restore your sanity so that your school run could look like this
What if you could wave a magic wand and your morning could start like this instead?
You woke up in the night thinking about your To Do list and spent 2 minutes using a powerful stress relief tool which sent you back to sleep.
In the morning you woke up early, spent 2 minutes using this tool again which left you feeling refreshed, present and available for your kids.
When one of them refused to wear their coat you felt frustrated so you popped to the loo (by yourself!) and spent 2 minutes using this tool again.
You then returned to your child feeling calm and centred to deal with the situation in hand.
On the way to school your kids started arguing so you spent 2 minutes the stress-relief tool again with your children and soon they were chatting happily again.
You arrived at school happy and relaxed, gave your kids and big hug, told them you love them and drove off to work ready for your day ahead.
Is it really possible to regain your calm, enjoy your kids and get more done while still juggling so much?
You may be thinking “yeh right! Does she live in cloud cuckoo land?! She doesn’t know what its really like.”
When you are tired and stressed and need to rush to get things done, while your children are meandering along at their own slower pace and are easily distracted, there is conflict and constant pressure to hurry them along.
You may remember Aesop’s fable about the sun and wind having a competition to see who could get the coat of a man more quickly. The wind blew and blew and the more it blew the tighter the man wrapped his coat around him. The sun shone warmly and brightly and the man got hot and took his coat off. What if the man represented your children and you had a choice:
To be like the wind and try to force them to do what is required of them or to be like the sun and shine warmly on them so that they wanted to cooperate?
Can you afford NOT to invest five minutes of your time before your children wake up, in order to feel more calm, in control and relaxed about your day?
When you feel less stressed, calmer and happier, it has a knock on affect on those around you so you will be less likely to encounter conflict.
By this point you are probably wondering what this magic tool called EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)/ Tapping is. What if I tell you its:
- powerful
- easy-to-learn technique
- often has fast results
- is simple enough that even children can use it!
You may be thinking that you haven’t got any space in your life to do anything extra or different. And I would ask you:
What is the cost to you, your family and your work not to change?
You possibly remember being told in a plane to put your own oxygen mask on before helping your children. Well, I would like to offer you a metaphorical oxygen mask so that you can be:
* Available and present with your kids
* Sleep well at night
* Have more energy and clarity so that you are in a good state of mind to create changes in your life that give you a good work-life balance.
* Feel nourished and nurtured as a woman and person in your own right
