September has been a month of affirming who we are. I hope you have each reached deep inside yourselves to become aware of the unique genius and magnificence you are here to be and share. I know how easy it is as parents, teachers, guardians of ourselves, and especially our children, that we can unwittingly project or take on someone else’s truth of who we are or should be.
We cannot deny that our children will be conditioned to some degree to be who they are not. It is inevitable, conscious or not, in parenting. This happens because our manual for parenting comes from our parents, mentors, doctors, or friends to name a few. With these preconceived beliefs about what we think is safe, important, productive, successful, right/wrong, good/bad, we hold and project these fears, doubts, and limitations onto our children.
If we can let go, and create a space of holding our children as capable, then the child grows confident in their capabilities. Providing this space for individual competence, and constantly keeping in check our fears and limitations, we open the space for our children to trust themselves and move in alignment with their interests…what they love and what inspires them. Children, to be truly happy and successful, need to be afforded the opportunity to listen to their inner guidance, feelings, and follow their hearts. If we truly trust this process, they will blossom and shine. Each of you WILL become a conscious, active, responsible participant in your own life.
If we want our children to realize anything is possible, and follow their natural instinct, then keep in check your fears, limitations, doubts, and expectations. Rather than focus on what they can’t do, focus on what they can do. When you let go of what you want them to be, and just let them be, they will completely flourish. They are perfect just the way they are.
Affirmation to end the month:
I am whole and perfect just the way I am.
I want to share this video, as I believe it speaks to September’s theme. EN-JOY!!!
