25.01.2022 A SILENT TRAGEDY There is a silent tragedy that is unfolding today in our homes, and concerns our most precious jewels: our children. Our children are in a deva...stating emotional state! In the last 15 years, researchers have given us increasingly alarming statistics on a sharp and steady increase in childhood mental illness that is now reaching epidemic proportions: Statistics do not lie: 1 in 5 children have mental health problems A 43% increase in ADHD has been noted A 37% increase in adolescent depression has been noted There has been a 200% increase in the suicide rate in children aged 10 to 14 What is happening and what are we doing wrong? Today's children are being over-stimulated and over-gifted with material objects, but they are deprived of the fundamentals of a healthy childhood, such as: Emotionally available parents Clearly defined limits Responsibilities Balanced nutrition and adequate sleep Movement in general but especially OUTDOORS Creative play, social interaction, unstructured game opportunities and boredom spaces Instead, in recent years, children have been filled with: Digitally distracted parents Indulgent and permissive parents who let children "rule the world" and whoever sets the rules A sense of right, of deserving everything without earning it or being responsible for obtaining it Inadequate sleep and unbalanced nutrition A sedentary lifestyle Endless stimulation, technological nannies, instant gratification and absence of boring moments What to do? If we want our children to be happy and healthy individuals, we have to wake up and get back to basics. It is still possible! Many families see immediate improvements after weeks of implementing the following recommendations: Set limits and remember that you are the captain of the ship. Your children will feel more confident knowing that you have control of the helm. Offer children a balanced lifestyle full of what children NEED, not just what they WANT. Don't be afraid to say "no" to your children if what they want is not what they need. Provide nutritious food and limit junk food. Spend at least one hour a day outdoors doing activities such as: cycling, walking, fishing, bird / insect watching Enjoy a daily family dinner without smartphones or distracting technology. Play board games as a family or if children are very small for board games, get carried away by their interests and allow them to rule in the game Involve your children in some homework or household chores according to their age (folding clothes, ordering toys, hanging clothes, unpacking food, setting the table, feeding the dog etc.) Implement a consistent sleep routine to ensure your child gets enough sleep. The schedules will be even more important for school-age children. Teach responsibility and independence. Do not overprotect them against all frustration or mistakes. Misunderstanding will help them build resilience and learn to overcome life's challenges, Do not carry your children's backpack, do not carry their backpacks, do not carry the homework they forgot, do not peel bananas or peel oranges if they can do it on their own (4-5 years). Instead of giving them the fish, teach them to fish. Teach them to wait and delay gratification. Provide opportunities for "boredom", since boredom is the moment when creativity awakens. Do not feel responsible for always keeping children entertained. Do not use technology as a cure for boredom, nor offer it at the first second of inactivity. Avoid using technology during meals, in cars, restaurants, shopping centers. Use these moments as opportunities to socialize by training the brains to know how to work when they are in mode: "boredom" Help them create a "bottle of boredom" with activity ideas for when they are bored. Be emotionally available to connect with children and teach them self-regulation and social skills: Turn off the phones at night when children have to go to bed to avoid digital distraction. Become a regulator or emotional trainer for your children. Teach them to recognize and manage their own frustrations and anger. Teach them to greet, to take turns, to share without running out of anything, to say thank you and please, to acknowledge the error and apologize (do not force them), be a model of all those values you instill. Connect emotionally - smile, hug, kiss, tickle, read, dance, jump, play or crawl with them. Article written by Victoria Prooday https://yourot.com//2017/5/24/what-are-we-doing-to-our-chi

15.01.2022 CHECK IN WITH THOSE YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT ARE YOU OKAY? I’M NOT OKAY AT THE MOMENT You can have so much gratitude for what you have in your life, that you’re abled bodied, you can touch, taste, smell, feel and hear and then all of a sudden, the dreaded saboteur appears ANXIETY.... I started suffering with anxiety and panic attacks 2 years ago, I actually thought I was having a heart attack. 4 hospital visits in a year, 6 months on anti-anxiety medication (that I fought every step of the way) and questions after questions after questions why is this happening to me! I’m a trained therapist, I teach people how to deal with their anxiety and yet here it is showing up on my doorstep., It’s debilitating and in those moments of panic where you feel like you are dying in that split second, I could actually understand why people want to end the pain and torture and I could understand why the world is so addicted to drugs, alcohol and whatever takes their pain away. I wasn’t going down any of these paths, I refused to rely on alcohol or prescription medication to numb the pain so I had to dig deep, deeper than I’ve ever been to understand WHY? It’s a process but I know in my heart of hearts as Rumi famously said the wound is the place where the light gets in. The very awareness of your pain is your opportunity to let the light in. I don’t push this feeling away; I embrace it no matter how scary it is sometimes. For all of you out there suffering in some form YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Reach out, talk to someone, trust in the process, trust in someone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb_1IklnhaU

12.01.2022 Heartbreak, pain, loss, grief, rejection, abandonment are emotions that can swallow you up into the darkness and then you find an inner strength, a calling from your higher self, your guides........THE AWAKENING! There is an opening for the light to shine through in every wound. I've been to that place many times, just like YOU and I can show you the light by healing and championing your inner child. #innerchild #healingjourney #awakening #heartbroken #lossofachild #grief #rejectionhurts #abandonment_issues

11.01.2022 During numerology year 5 (2021), we often feel freer and more able to make the changes that we have been thinking about for a long time. We will pursue new initiatives and could even feel like we are growing wings! Curiosity and desire for freedom will be present, as will the desire to go beyond our limits. The year 5 will reveal our small weaknesses and test us with temptations. It's as if we want to free ourselves from our taboos, and what weighed us down last year. The un...expected and the adventure will disturb our daily lives. It's likely that we will discover a new environment and feel more in tune with ourselves. Although, we must be careful with our impatience and excesses...!!! The urge will be even stronger for those with a life path number 5! To find out add up your day, month and year e.g. 4/12/1987 = 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 32 = 3 + 2 = 5

05.01.2022 As parents you are role models for how children will see their femininity and masculinity.

01.01.2022 You will only truly know your worth once you stop the negative programming trapped in your subconscious mind e.g. I'm not worthy, I'm not good enough, I'll never??, I can't??? remember you attract into your life where you vibrate from within.
