Children do as we DO, and NOT as we tell them…YouTube LIVE

This is a sobering reality for me. I’m reminded daily that it won’t matter what I show on the outside, these little humans can clearly see (AND WILL FOLLOW) what’s also happening on the inside too.

I know it isn't easy to accept that what we hide and numb is being absorbed by them. When I first understood this, it was the most gut wrenching realisation of my life. BUT then I did what had to be done. This created freedom from all that hidden junk, which in turn stopped the cycle being passed on.
Our amazing little people have a BS meter that is second to none. They live in a world of feelings, and trust me they feel ALL of what's playing out inside you.

See, if we don’t deal with our junk, we pass it on. This is a cycle that is easily stopped if you just own YOUR truth and ask for help.

Our children will follow our instructions whilst young, but once their minds develop they will start to call us out. Trigger us more and more and more. That’s them calling out the hypocrite in us.
I know this isn’t comfortable to read. For me it hits hard, but it motivates me as well. It’s a driving factor in my daily life that I do my best to explore and understand who I truly am. Not the outer version the world sees, but the inner version. My thoughts and feelings that I was taught not to show as a child.

I refuse to repeat the cycle. I refuse to give in when it gets challenging or I’m in unchartered territory. That’s when I ask more, listen more and find my humility. Why humility? It allows me to be honest with myself and bare the truth so I can change it.

If you deny it, hide it or pretend it doesn’t exist, They still see it, they still feel it; and they will still follow it.

Don’t ever let fear of embarrassment or pride get in the way of asking questions. It costs nothing and a simple answer could change everything.
