"Manage your mind in the moments of each day."  ~Julie Ciardi Parenting and raising kids is not easy and it can be a lot of work.  In today's episode, we get an up close and personal look into Sara's life as she shares about a challenging parenting "scene" she had with one of her 6 year old twin boys.  Our quote is " Manage your mind in the moments of each day," by Julie Ciardi, and you will be encouraged to know that we are not perfect at this, and we too are in process, but learning to manage our minds in the moment continues to be a huge benefit in our relationships, especially with our kids. As moms, we want our kids to behave and grow up to be respectful, responsible adults, but the journey of growth is often messy.  Sara shares this fact:  The only person we can really control or manage is ourselves.  Learning to respond and not react is something we can practice and get better at, but Lisa encourages us to realize we are not going to be perfect at this and to give yourself compassion in the journey.  Kelly shares the importance of having a follow up conversation with our kids, when emotions have dissipated, so our kids can process and learn through these life experiences. Remember, journaling can be a powerful way for you as a mom to process your feelings, but can also serve as a reminder of your progress in managing your mind in the moments!  Be encouraged!  We are here for you and we would love to connect with you!  You can connect with us at @wakeupanddreampodcast  or reach out to us personally using the contact info below!   Were you encouraged by this podcast?  Know of a mom that needs this "shot of encouragement?"  Be sure to share it with them.  Leave us a review, LIKE and SHARE it on your social media.  We are so appreciative of you, our loyal listeners!  Thank you!
