Parents we tend to not trust more than we trust. Our children believe they are capable. We are the ones who are scared and place that onto our kids. So many adults don’t trust themselves because trust in themselves wasn’t developed. Let’s stop this cycle and allow our children to learn how to fall, forget, or fail so they can trust themselves to figure it out and start again. It is so necessary and we as adults are getting in the way. 💗💗

We should take the time to reassess in our life what fits and what doesn’t. As we age, we grow, and as we grow, we might not fit into the same things or with the same people as we did in the past. That actually is a good thing. This means you’re developing, growing and changing into a more evolved human. We shouldn’t keep things out of longevity or because it might come back in style. We can’t wait for people to change or stay stuck in what was. We need to live in what is and be the most comfortable, secure person we can be. Who is ready to do some cleaning?!?! 💗💗

Biggies versus no biggies! We just don’t need our amygdala in the same way we needed it in our past. However, it’s still there, showing up and tricking us to think that things are dangerous when they’re not. The goal is to remind your body that this is a no biggie, I am safe, and I can handle this. These three thoughts can change how you feel and how you show up in the world. This is a no biggie, I am safe, and I can handle this. 💗💗

I am getting a tad louder until we can pay attention to mislabeling of feelings and allowing them to show up without judgement or scrutiny. I wrote Sloane Understands because if adults aren’t understanding then I am determined to help children understand the importance of feelings and that they are just an information source. If we understand them then they can move on and you can too! My peeps let’s stop describing them as good, bad, and big and change it to important and informative. 💗💗

My peeps. We are confusing boasting with being proud and cheering for ourselves. Two different concepts. Boasting is the act of speaking with excessive pride about one’s achievements often to impress others or provoke admiration from others. Cheering for ourselves as a practice fosters self-confidence and resilience, and can create a supportive environment that encourages collective growth and positivity. We need more collective growth and positivity. Let’s cheer more for ourselves and others! 💗💗

My peeps! No more adjectives to describe feelings except important. All feelings are important. All feelings matter. Feelings just want to be understood and heard. They are not good or bad and they only get big when you don’t listen to them. We are focusing on the feeling not the problem of not listening to them and understanding them. 💗💗

My peeps. We are making life choices that have to do with other people and not what has to do with you. We are considering others more than ourselves. We are limiting our freedom by placing others thoughts and feelings above our own. We need to stop and think is the truly what I want or need or is this something I am doing to compete, to fit in, or seek acceptance. Do it for you! Remind yourself the answer should be ME! 💗💗

Having hard conversations can be sometimes scary and overwhelming which leads people to not have them. If we could start the conversation with…I’m really worried about having this conversation because or I am scared that when I tell you this, this will happen…allows the other person to know what’s going on inside you and adjust and consider their response. Avoiding a conversation can build up resentment, anger, and sadness. Nothing good happens when we avoid. Let’s find ways to connect even when it’s hard. 💗💗

Don’t let your mind trick you and tell you that you can’t do hard things. That whatever is in front of you is too hard to do you and that you can’t do it. Well that is just not true. You’ve done lots and lots of hard things and here you are still alive, still growing, still trying. Don’t let your brain tell you things that aren’t true. Remind yourself of all the hard that you have pushed through in the past so you know you can push through this whatever it may be. 💗💗
