Picking up your marbles and going home

8/17/2010

This morning's first response to disappointment was to pick up my proverbial marbles and go home. As I was home, I decided to use the energy of disappointment and create something new. I've been exploring breath in it's infinite manifestations, I began there.
I inhaled my connection to limitless choices. I exhaled my disappointment.  As I continued, an image of my much younger self appeared, jumping up and down and yelling, "It's not fair!"
I wanted to agree with her but, practiced reflective listening on myself:. validating her feelings and encouraging her to speak on what wasn't fair. It wasn't long before, feeling deeply heard, she began to deeply breathe with me.
Practicing on ourselves the techniques of emotional coaching that we use with our own children, helps parents manage their emotions, as well.
