Change your mind, change your life

I’ve been on an incredible personal development journey intentionally for the past 4+ years.

What I am finding fascinating and extremely interesting is in fact how many of our beliefs can come from when we are younger and can be from 1 moment, memory or experience.

Ever since becoming a mom, I’ve learned more in life than my previous 25 years. My children truly have been my best teachers.

As I have been growing, my family has as well. Being more aware of our actions, being true to ourselves, honesty, trustworthy and just simply being authentic.

My children are much like me, like both my husband and I being empathetic and sensitive. As I clear negativity and dig deep to clear skme of my own belief patterns and negativity I can see them doing their own digging, which we help them through.

A couple instances have really stood out for me…

The weekend we moved into our home, our family dog, who had been by my side longer than my hubby, passed. He spent a couple days here with us before crossing the rainbow bridge. This was incredibly hard for me, and the emotions still can take over me. I was home alone with the kids when our old man was stuck on our deck from having multiple seizures. During a quiet moment I got the kids to go out and sit with him so I could take photos of our boy Elwood and his siblings. Our kids were almost 3.5 and almost 5… this exact moment and memory became concrete in our daughters memories of our dog Elwood. It became a very emotional and tragic experience for her that we did not even realize until years later. This exact moment is what she held on to, what she remembered as her first dog.

It wasn’t until I read it in one of her school projects and she drew a picture of their last photo together – in their jammies snuggling Elwood up on our red deck. A moment that at the time in my mind I was simply capturing the kids and their dog. A moment that has haunted her emotionally for years :(

More recently with another school project our boy Elwood came up again… it broke my heart in two, however I was much more equipped to handle her emotional sadness and her anger towards not being able to remember him other than when he died because she was only 3…

Our daughter is now 10.5 and our son 12. This memory had been haunting her for over 7 years. This memory also hadn’t come up for more than a year…

What is interesting is we’ve been doing some oily energy cleansing in our home this past month which typically means things come to the surface for us to deal with – what we should do vs pushing down and ignoring.

When it came up this time she was prompted again during a school project to recall a memory. When I read what she had written my heart began to sink, but not for long. While consoling her I suggested we change this sad memory into something happy, which is exactly what I had to do for myself many years ago.

Yes our boy Elwood died after just being here for a couple days… but he moved here with us and knew we were happy and safe. He knew his time with us was coming to an end and it was time for us to remember all our happy times with our Elwood and trust that he is now happy and healthy himself. He knew we were ready to open our hearts to a new puppy for all of us to grow with and love because just days after our boy Elwood crossed our boy Becker was born.

As a child she was unsure how to handle these emotions. She worried that ‘forgetting’ of him and being happy to have a new dog meant she didnt love our Elwood, which of course as an adult we know is not true.

This. This exact example is how easy it is for a memory to suddenly become a belief and become hardwired in our minds.

Another example of my amazing daughter is from back in Kindergarten… so approx 6 years ago when her teacher brought in pumpkin muffins from a store. She had a reaction after eating these muffins and has avoided anything pumpkin ever since. This week my mom made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and offered them to the kids to try… they both LOVED them!

When I told her that I had good news that she wasn’t allergic to pumpkin she was ecstatic! She never was allergic however she had a reaction that put fear in her mind and thus she never touched it again. She had a similar experience with bacon, that was a bit chewy and she choked on. Both situations her feelings were validated and understandable. We never pushed her to make her eat anything she didn’t want to. However she quickly did realize bacon is absolutely amazing when cooked properly haha!

Another example was one teacher told her they couldn’t use the word “perfect” because nothing is perfect… I will be honest when she told me this, I pushed back and my response to my hubby was, why don’t they see how their words DO affect children so very much. For a long time if we used the word perfect we got told we couldn’t… simply because one teacher and her belief told the students that. Is the teacher wrong, no because that was her belief. My point is that it’s this simple for something to be concrete in a child’s mind.

When you choose what your belief’s are, regardless of anyone else’s you can change your life. An empowering part of raising kids. We aren’t raising kids to be identical copies of their parents, they are their own true soul’s who need to discover who they really are. As their parents, we can empower them and guide them to discover their own voice. To question and ask why. To research and discover more. To truly be themselves no matter what and not “because I said so”.

Wisdom Wednesday – Raising Them Up Right

Raising little ones is the best and most challenging part of my life. One I wouldn’t give up for the world and also one that has made me cry great big alligator tears.

Being a parent has been a journey in itself. What is right for one parent or child will not be exactly right for another parent or child.

However what I have learned is that being a parent doesn’t have to be hard. Raising a child is simply that… raising them to be the best person they can be as they learn this wonderful world we love in.

As I type this (in November) my son has been sending me photos of how he unpacked our monthly doTERRA order and unwrapped everything and has it sorted on our kitchen table. He found the Holiday Guide and was also sending me photos of what’s in it and what he would like (and why!!!). I love that we are able to show the kids a different way (from how we both grew up-which I’m not knocking st all) of taking care of our health in a more natural holistic way.

The other night my daughter and I were talking. Early we had been talking about feelings and that evening she made a comment about how every single person no matter who they are or anything else, has a brain and a heart. I then added so everyone is capable of loving… and she finished with “and thinking”. Then she added in, but you don’t think with your heart you think with your head, your heart controls the blood flow in your body. I asked her where she feels her feelings. She pointed to her stomach. She said when it feels good, you feel it here and when it feels bad you also feel it here.

Feelings are meant to be felt, to move through, to discuss if needed in writing or talking. Empower your children with healthy living – however that manifests in your life!

Patient Parenting

Patient Parenting, a concept I once thought was crazy. How on earth can you be patient every moment, especially having children.

I now firmly believe our children come to us to help us grow into the people we are meant to be. My children have created a patient, compassionate and calm mom. A mom who once was reactive, broken, hurting and not confident.

I was given children who test me every single day – which I honestly love. Their beautiful personalities shine bright and when for whatever reason they get thrown off and their confidence takes a nose dive. Our children are a true reflection of us, how we live is how they learn to live. When our children see us being hard on ourselves – they become more critical of themselves. Ive noticed as Ive been on my personal development journey for the past 4+ years my children are also becoming more resilient.

I now see how we truly do all support each other’s mental health.

Yesterday my son, who plays defence, scored a goal in their hockey game! It was an incredible shot! His true talent was shining bright. Today during their game the puck ricocheted off his stick and into our net. Everything great that had happened before then, were gone and I watched from the stands as I could see my son sinking. How did I know? Because it was once me, its still something I continually work on to build myself up.

What I did notice though, was our parenting approach that we now take with our kids. Where before he would have just cut out the entire world and sank down further, he was open to talking, where he would have just said “Im fine” he now converses with us on what happened and strategies to get through some of those parts of the game that suck in the moment and can bring you down.

I am proud of him and I am proud of us. I am thankful and grateful for the life lesson’s we’ve had as they have truly given us experience to learn and grow into our very best selves!

Then she added in, but you don’t think with your heart you think with your head, your heart controls the blood flow in your body. I asked her where she feels her feelings. She pointed to her solar plexus and said right here! At her young age she already has a base understanding of our body and our “3 brains”… our brain, heart and gut!

One reason I love the oils are a part of our life, is because they give us reasons to talk much more openly about how we feel. And what the various oils can do for our emotions! Before school and at bedtime the kids each get oils on. I truly love our connection and the opportunity to spend that time with each of the kids.

Tonight after we got home from skating my boy was literally waiting for us to get home. Our Dream Convention kit arrived and he was eagerly awaiting to smell the new oils!!! The pure excitement and intrigue of the kids lit me up. I instantly grabbed my phone to capture the memory. Not just cause the oils smell good either, because they know they work! For the past 4+ years of their life this has been their healthcare! Well with the exception of Carson breaking his wrist lol. Even for that I was applying oils while in the hospital!

They eagerly went through the various new oils and products learning what they are and can use them for.

Which really got me thinking tonight. About how life doesn’t have to always be “perfect” for it to be one hell of an amazing experience. As I looked back at the video of my kids my heart felt like it was going to burst… and I almost missed this… because typically when I do Facebook lives I want to be sure the area is tidy and clean… well real life happens and I surprised myself tonight with how awesome it was to jump on and truly share the excitement in our home tonight… no judgment 🤩!

My Wednesday wisdom… just be yourself. Regardless of what whoever may think. Just be you and embrace real life with all the twist, turns, highs and lows.

Yes at this moment I have a few piles of papers on our island to deal with, piles of photos and frames in our entrance. But you know what this is because of the progress we’ve made. So if we have to live with a bit of “clutter” at the moment it’s ok because I feel even more motivated now to allow myself the week to get done what needs to and tackle the bigger jobs on the weekend!

Be nice to yourself. The slower we go in life, the more we can actually progress! Life is about living and loving. It’s not a competition. Just be you, the best you that you are here to be!

💖 Sleep tight, Pam

World Mental Health Day | Attitude Is Everything

A day we should all pay attention to and stand up for because it affects EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!

Regardless of who you are, where you live, what you make, the house you live in, the car you drive or how much money is in your bank account.

Mental health affects every single one of us either directly or indirectly and many times both at the same time.

Regardless if its feeling sad, feeling depressed, tired, being challenged with invisible illnesses (in our home PCOS, Hypothyroidism, ADHD, IBS) there are so many ways we are all affected by mental health including: anxiety, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, addictions, personality disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, stress response syndrome, dissociative disorders, factitious disorders, sexual and gender disorders, somatic symptom disorders, tic disorders.

Mental health is also waking up in the morning and not wanting to get out of bed. It can start as something that simple.

Its so much more than just bringing awareness. There are so many campaigns who bring awareness to mental health – lets put that “awareness” aside and I want to speak with you direct. Whoever you are, wherever you are. YOU MATTER. Because regardless of all of these campaigns people are still suffering and dying. People are still suffering in silence. Even those people who claim to be “fine”! Lets bring light to mental health and move some mountains!

In my own experience this is how we can shift mental health…

  • Talk! Get your feelings out whether its talking, writing, singing… whatever feels natural to you! When we shine the light onto our own darkness we bring those issues to the surface where they can be dealt with, handled and supported properly!
  • Follow your gut. When someone says they are “fine” – they are not. It doesn’t matter who they are. Let the person know you know there is something bothering them and if they cannot talk to you to please reach out to someone. Don’t give up on them… but sometimes it does take tough love.
  • Gut health matters! If you’ve ever taken an antibiotic your gut health has been compromised. Compound that over years and possibly not eating healthy or consuming toxins. Our gut health is crucial to our overall health, including our mental health! Pro-biotics are a must as well what I found very effective was a cleanse and restore for my digestive system.
  • Include loved ones/family members within mental health care no matter the age of the person in crisis. Many family members and loved ones are hit literally with a brick wall of “privacy and consent” even though the person in dire need thinks they “are fine”. So many more people could be thriving. In my experience this is such a crucial and often missing piece of the mental health puzzle.
  • Teach our children to name their feelings and that it’s ok to experience emotions. Educate our children on the importance of talking with someone they trust who not only can support them (emotionally and financially) but also through a time of need to get proper care if required.
  • Use healthy clean products. We need to take a stance to STOP allowing toxins and chemicals to be used in our foods and products used in our homes, businesses and schools. I believe this is a very very strong link to why so many more people are suffering today (in combination about thinking they always need to be “busy”). Endocrine disruptors are a very real thing that have a negative impact on our physical and mental health.
  • Encourage healthy eating and meal planning with real food and better yet involve kids in the process of selecting recipes and meals! There are so many “convenience” pre-packaged pre-cooked foods out there filled with ingredients that many I cannot even read or pronounce!
  • Hydrate! Water is crucial to our mental health. Ditch the sugar filled and energy drinks!
  • Quiet the mind! It really is powerful when you take a moment and stop. Allow yourself to be in quiet and slow your mind. Meditation is a valuable asset for all of us no matter age.
  • Be active – inside and outside. Physical activity – even just getting outside in the sunshine, for a walk, yoga (my personal fav), running, weights etc.
  • Living a de-cluttered organized life. Clutter is suffocating. Less truly is more.
  • Real life experience taught in schools. Real life skills such as meal planning, what income taxes are and doing them, cooking, meal planning, budgeting and financial planning… These are real life things that can stress someone and contribute to their anxiety, depression etc.
  • Healthy options beyond pharmaceuticals. They are out there and they are extremely effective. Honestly since making a shift within our home over 4 years ago its made a dramatic improvement to our family’s overall health – mentally and physically! We have not used any chemicals/toxins to clean our home in 4 years! For us using essential oils in our home has supported our emotional , physical and mental health – incredibly! They are also used for cooking and cleaning too!!!
  • Embrace it! If you struggle with any of the above mental health issues – thats OK! Its a part of who you are and you should embrace it and BE YOU! Attitude is everything and once you are able to get past the stigma that is still prominently out there – you can truly thrive

This is very near and dear to my heart. In my life I have been affected by mental health both directly and indirectly. I’m honestly not sure if either is any easier.

Attitude is everything. When it comes to mental health – OWN IT!

When I truly found I could “own it” was after we experienced a flood in our home, just literally a few months after we completely renovated our basement – every single room. I hit a low. I pulled back from friends, from what I was finding joy in and for a couple months felt completely overwhelmed and defeated. What I learned from that experience was that I could literally feel and see myself sinking – where previously when I struggled with depression I hadn’t been able to. I saw that the changes I had been making and had already made in my life was actually making an impact on my life in a very positive way. I owned that experience. I was honest with people that I struggled – but the difference… I no longer felt ashamed to admit I was struggling. It simply was a fact of life.

However for many people, admitting they are struggling or in a bad time makes them feel like they are less of a person or worry what others will think of them. I get it, I used to be there. Focus on YOU! The REAL YOU… Focus on what YOU need to do to be and feel healthy. Sit back with a pen and paper and write about your ideal life – not your current life – your ideal life. What is out of alignment? There will probably be a lot… but that’s the point – bring it into the light, own it and then move foward to bring positive change.

As Gabby Bernstein says… “what we resist persists…” What are you resisting in your life?

~Love & Light to You~ <3
