Can’t Be Two Places At Once

You can’t be two places at once. You are either “in love” or you are “in fear” or worry.

I have been working with many moms who are in worry or fear. They are consumed with “what if my daughter….”  I know, being the mother of four children, that it is SO hard to push worry aside. But, think of the wonderful things you could accomplish if you stayed “in love” instead of in worry or fear.

When you stay in love, you look for solutions. You look for the positives. You look for closeness, openness, acceptance and respect. Worry or fear throws you into looking at the negative, the minus side of your daughter.

If you must worry, then use your worry to produce solutions to what you worry about. If that is not possible, then let the worry go. I know it’s challenging, isn’t it?

Visualize something you love, something that brings you peace. Hold the vision in your cupped hands and then place it over your heart. Breathe in for the count of 7 and breathe to the count of 11. Thank the worrisome thoughts for stopping by and then tell them goodbye. “Watch” them leave.

Use your energy for bringing forth the good in yourself and your daughter. Worry rarely brings out anything other than more fear and negative emotions that do not help our brains or our hearts.

I hope you stay in love with your daughter, and do your best to stay out of worry or fear.

All the best,
