 how i take care of me -----------> my happiness?
owning my life like that scary thought my eyes wet i told Dawn it’s hard for me to write down my minimums my basic needs or even think of them because How in the world would I ever make all that needs to happen for me, happen in a day? what i was really saying was: i don’t know how to take care of me questioning deep within whether i was worthy of happiness so that’s where I was at for a couple months those @$%#* minimums they haunted me not with a feeling of doom but of what was changing within and my resistance to change amazingly wonderful thing is positive change happens inner change changing our lives takes time i know now what i need to tick…. as the highest version of me possible in this moment ….and I know it’s possible to make that happen to give myself what I need to be happy not sayin’ I won’t have bad days or forget or feel like i don't have time but my baseline foundation way of being from the inside out is one of personal happiness i did it! i found my minimums and i’m making them happen to make happiness happen and you can make happiness happen for you too! I look forward to sharing my minimums- and Dawn's minimums- with you tomorrow during this week in Self-Worth. Heart-felt thanks to Dawn for being my wise guide on the journey to my happy life.

if life came down to one thing.... what would that one thing be for you? this week for me hands down self-worth for certain if you don't think highly of yourself what do you really have? not much the way you think about yourself your respect for you your kindness for you your love for you it's everything everything not sure how much self-worth you have? do you at least give yourself same amount of respect you'd give to a dear friend? hope your answer is yes for me it's yes mostly but i've had to work at for years this week i share with you what i'm learning about self-worth and how to build it from within to treat yourself like a best friend like your whole world depends upon it because it does join me this week i'll be featuring the best & brightest from my community to talk about all things self-worth from my world to your's Happy Tuesday! xo Megan  photo by rachelhadiashar.com The other day as I was designing my on-line class for parents.... i was searching the house for a big piece of paper to sketch out my ideas how about cutting open a brown paper bag? i head to the kitchen cupboard the first thought that crossed my mind: Are you sure it's ok to use that paper bag for this project? i catch myself really? is the week's recycling somehow more important than my life's work? deep within doubting Whether I'm worthy of a brown paper bag when confronted with feelings of unworthiness thought patterns subconscious operating systems uncomfortable embarrassing to admit these feelings of unworthiness so at the root of our struggles it would be foolish to ignore them but we often do to avoid the pain in my community of families parents wisely recognize Stress as the #1 obstacle to positive parenting The first step to transforming your stress levels from within? knowing you are worthy you are worthy of less stress of having your needs met feeling good in your body happy in your mind peaceful in your heart fulfilled in your life so you are your calm & confident highest self You are worthy. That's what the brown paper bag taught me. xo Megan p.s. A special invitation for to you to join the conversation on all things self-worth related this week on my blog.  www.flickr.com/photos/ahhhlicia/ Imagine you are asked to walk on a tightrope 100 feet in the air. The tightrope is over a beautiful meadow, but if you fell it would certainly hurt. There is no net beneath you, and you have never walked on a tightrope before. How willing are you to give it a try? Say you have the same tightrope and meadow in front of you. But below you is safety net. If you fall, the net will catch you. Do you feel differently about going across? It might still be scary to think about going across the tight rope walk. But you know deep in your heart, the net is there to catch you. Life is full of challenges, without a doubt. The hope is that with every challenge you meet You have a built-in safety net. What is the safety net in your inner world? The net within to face the daily challenges of living.... Believing in yourself Your ability to succeed in life To feel happy & content within Love & acceptance This is your life safety net  photo by only1anuchka So whatever tight rope you are walking across In the landscape of life Cliffs, oceans, deserts alike You feel safe and supportive Your inner safety net firmly in place Where does this inner safety net of life come from?
From your parents In how they raised you They believed in So you learned to believe in yourself To trust in who you are Because they trusted in who you are Our inner voice is our safety net The safety net gifted to us by our parents In how they raised us This is the essence of positive parenting Raising and disciplining our children in a way That teaches them they can trust in themselves In a way that helps them grow A safety net of security from within In themselves In their relationships with other people In humanity and life Especially during the inevitable challenges & pain They’ll face in their lifetime An inner safety net of trust, security, love, confidence & strength This inner safety net is the gift of positive parenting What if your parents didn’t give you this gift of your inner safety net? You’re not alone My gift for you Is your golden safety net That you get to grow as an adult The gift of parenthood To grow trust, security, strength and love For yourself and your family From within So you can gift this gift to your children This is positive parenting. Welcome to the movement, dear friends. Wishing you all the gift of your inner safety net. Have a wonderful week! xo 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!
