you can do it, summer 2016.

This summer is dedicated to doing it.
Whatever "it" is.
Maybe its your family vacation
that's right around the corner.
Or that project.
Having your kids home.
Or getting outside more.
Maybe it's a big challenge.
Or you just want to clean out your garage.


Whatever it is,
the first step
to doing anything,
is believing in YOU.

Believing that you can do it.
That it's possible.
Whatever "it" is.
Picture
You can do it.
For real.
But you have to do more than take my word for it.
You have to believe it too.

As I shared in Summer Magic,
I'm not saying that all your problems
will disappear just by believing in yourself
(or maybe they will!).

It's that:
if you don't believe in yourself,
very little else is possible in life.

You believing in you
is your foundation,
for everything
and
upon which everything else 
in your life
is built.

Believing in your children is one of the most effective positive parenting tools.
And believing in yourself is even more effective.
Because in order to really believe in your children,
you must believe in yourself first.
Right?

So how to cultivate this belief in you?
Say it til you believe it.

Walk around your house,
saying in your head:
"I can do it."
"I believe in myself."

Especially if you have insurmountable obstacles
in your world this summer.
Especially if you feel
hopeless,
totally overwhelmed,
or depleted.

10 times a day.
morning, noon & night.

"I can do it."
"I believe in myself."

And say it again,
when those little gremlins
of self-doubt start speaking up.

Yes, it will feel cheesy at first.
But say it still.
"I can do it."
"I believe in myself."
Say it like you mean it.
And like you believe it.
Then say it some more.

Your belief in you
is your most effective way
to do "it" this summer of 2016.
Whatever it may be,
have fun with the power
of believing in you,
this summer + beyond.

You can do it,
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!
