always growing + the power of yet

have you been experiencing growing pains lately?
or
are your children in the midst
of a developmental leap or grow spurt
that is causing your head to spin?

lots of people
are feeling discouraged
right now

but the oddly ironic thing
you can know for sure
even if it's so hard
to remember 
in the moment

feeling discouraged
is how we learn
is part of the growth process
a key to life

we just don't 
want to stay there 
too long


what's hardest about
our challenges in life
is not actually
our challenges
themselves
but the societal message
around our struggles
that say:

if we're struggling
we're doing something wrong
we're somehow lacking
what other people have

this 
100%
couldn't be
further
from the truth
it's down-right
WRONG


here is the TRUTH
100% brain science approved:

(and based on the research
of standford university's
carol dweck)

if you're struggling
you're growing

which is the #1 goal of life

because it's how
you evolve as a person
+
how we evolve 
as the human species


in a growth mindset
you believe in 
the power of your learning
your struggles
motivate you
to learn more
become more
fully you

you embrace
the process
journey
of self exploration
because you 
trust in yourself
beyond belief

you know 
you're a good person
and you
have faith
in the power of you
to be the person
you're here to be

your struggles
don't change
from the outside

but rather

you change
your struggles
from the inside


because
you let go of self-
doubt
judgement
criticism

that's what's
holding us all back
the struggle
is real

but the real struggle
is the one each 
of us faces within

if you're trying 
to change
remember
you already are
doing the work
you're on your way

if you haven't 
reached your goals
or full potential
it's not because
there's something
wrong with

it's just time
to let go 
of the inner belief
that something
is wrong
with you

you're doing exactly
what you're supposed 
to be doing
you're learning
you're growing

you haven't reached
your goals
yet
you haven't
mastered
your life
yet
you're not fully
getting how to live
this positive parenting
thing
yet

You're already on your way.
Believe in you.
​You Got This
Growing + Growth Mindset.

    Mama Megan

    Hi friends,  I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative."  This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family!
