This challenge is designed to help you become a more peaceful parent. The first day of the challenge is all about figuring out your triggers and how to stop them in their tracks. Most parents find that they are able to deal with stress and anger much better when they have a plan in place. That’s what this challenge is all about – giving you the tools you need to be a more peaceful parent.
So, let’s get started!
The first step is to identify your triggers. What makes you angry or stressed out as a mom? Is it when your child doesn’t listen to you? When won’t they stop crying? When they won’t go to bed? Once you know what your triggers are, you can start developing strategies to deal with them.
Often times we overlook our own triggers and try to figure out what our child is doing wrong. However, when we overlook ourselves, what is currently triggering us, we can’t truly move on to becoming a peaceful mom. That is because our triggers are going unattended to.
One of the best ways to deal with triggers is to have a plan in place ahead of time.
For example, if you know that your child’s refusal to go to bed is a trigger for you, have a plan in place for what you will do instead of getting frustrated. The key is to have a plan that you can put into action when things start to go wrong.
Today’s challenge is to sit down and figure out what triggers you as a mom. Write them down.
Looking at what triggers you with intention can help you keep it at the forefront of your mind.
Tomorrow we will digger deeper into these triggers.
