WHO WANTS TO GO BACK IN TIME?

Happy Sunday! How has your week been? ๐Ÿ’Ÿ๐Ÿ’ž

So our beautiful son jumps in the car, after school a few weeks ago and says, 'Mum, two girls weren't doing the right thing in class today. I don't understand it'. ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿค” I absentmindedly say, 'Oh my love, you just focus on you - they must just be running out some emotions. It's all good'. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ˜˜

At the same time, I have the following dialogue running through my mind: Do I have enough potatoes for dinner tonight? ๐Ÿง†๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฅ”What day is Ethan supposed to bring a teddy bear to school? ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿป Does my partner have a staff meeting this afternoon? ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿคฏ

You can probably guess what showed up in my weekly Emotionally Happy Homesยฎ awareness swap with Jules this week! ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’• Yep - active listening with Ethan - our 5 yr old son! It was a great reminder to be really present with him, listen and ask questions - to give him the opportunity to express how he feels.๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ’‘

The book, 'The Queen's Code' by Alison Armstrong explores how women are programmed to be externally focused on what's happening around them: who needs what, is everyone taken care of, what needs to be done. ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’จ Whereas, the male energy excels with a single focus. We all have varying degrees of these qualities, because we all have male and female energy. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿฟ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ’ช

If you've watched the 'Outlander' series you'll understand why its more desirable than ever before to time travel! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ So let's do it, let's time travel now that the light has been shone on where I could expand and grow!! ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž

REEWWIINNNDD back to two weeks ago at exactly 3:03 pm. WHOOOSH ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ Ethan jumps in the car - looking as gorgeous as ever ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’ and says 'Mum, two girls weren't doing the right thing in class today. I don't understand it'. I ask my own male energy to focus, be present and take a deep breath. ๐Ÿ™โ˜ฏโ˜ฎ๐ŸŒผ

I ask Ethan open ended questions: How does that make you feel? Is there a special reason why you're sharing this with me? How did your teacher feel or deal with it? Is there anything else you would love to share about that experience? How do you feel now that you've shared that? ๐Ÿ˜˜๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒบ

Ethan feels really heard, he's expressed how he feels and had an opportunity to find all of his own answers ... and without me jumping in, soothing or offering my point of view. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿคซ Happy Days!! AND REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT this daily practice. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™
