it can be done!

A good day, it can be done! ;)

We've been having a spell of some pretty trying days around these parts. Warren has been really trying my patience and I have felt like I have no control. There was just this weight on my shoulders of negativity and defeat. I was so lost. I was confused as to why this was happening. I was trying to spend more one on one time with him, I was making sure he had enough food (the kid doesn't realize when he's hungry or that it makes him ornery) . But I was at a loss.

Until just the other night I was talking to a bff and she helped me realize that I was parenting too much with my head and not enough with my heart. I was thinking too much. I was OVER thinking too much. I was reading too many things on how to be a good parent instead of LISTENING to my heart and intuition. I knew that my own intuition on how to help my kids trumps any kind of "parenting" book but I was never "realizing" it. Until that night. I was thinking, "DUH" you knew that Janica.

So the next day, I focused on listening to my heart, thinking through my heart instead of just solely through my mind/head. OH MY GOODNESS the world of difference that made. And you know what? Warren wasn't acting ANY different. It was me! I was being too strict, overthinking how everything I said, didn't say, did, didn't do, was going to affect him in the long run. He was much happier, I was MUCH happier and didn't feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. In all essence I was trying to just "Let Go and Let God." Of course I can't be perfect at this everyday but it's sure been a great change to just realize and try and focus on being led throughout the day by just paying more attention to intuition and my heart and God, rather than trying to "rely on the flesh".
