THROWING ONE'S TOYS AROUND

The sun is shining. 🌞 It’s a blissful Sunday afternoon and we’re loving spending some family time together enjoying some beach cricket. 🏏Suddenly our very passionate 6 year old son who lives and breathes cricket is bowled out; the cricket bat has gone flying and a tantrum ensues! 💥 Do you: a) Check to see who is on the beach watching and cringe in embarrassment 🤣😅 b) Talk to your child about good sportsmanship c) Be curious about the big release of emotion – which is a lot of powerful, creative energy that can be channeled.💫

I don’t think there’s any ‘right’ answer – everyone is doing the best they can with their level of awareness and consciousness. ❤ But this is how we approach these spaces. Firstly, my husband morphed into his day job role – ‘Mr Reck, the Physical Education teacher’ so a discussion about good sportsmanship was inevitable! ☮⚡

From a spiritual perspective, I use the Emotionally Happy Homes® tool, ‘You see it in me because it’s in you’ which is an awesome tool, 🎈🙌 particularly when you see your child, partner, friend, colleague doing something that is really inspiring. However, it can become a little uncomfortable when, for example you see someone in a reactive behaviour that brings up emotion in you. 🌊🙏

My husband and I leaned into being curious about where we could ‘throw our toys, the cricket bat around’ 🏏🚀 figuratively speaking because that’s what our son was mirroring back to us! Yep, we could see we experience frustration at times, particularly when we’ve surrendered to the path of our heart or our creativity and it’s not going according to ‘our’ plan. It can feel so easy to want to fight against ‘what is’ rather than trust the universe is always working for us.💚🪐🌎

Our discussion around the dinner table that night went something like this: ‘You know what - I think we can all throw our bats around at times, when we feel things, people, situations aren’t going to plan’. My husband and I owned when we do it. We then enjoyed talking about how we can all evolve it. 💫🙌 For example: taking deep breaths; sharing how you feel; remembering that the universe always has a bigger picture for us and surrendering to what is like a tree in a storm. ⭐🌈❄

When do you throw your toys around? 😅🚀 How can you surrender to the path of your heart, knowing all is well? 💜
