One of the biggest ways that we thwart our growth and, ultimately, our success as parents is by living through the habits, patterns, and identities of our past that no longer serve us.
Ultimately what you WANT and decide to do impacts how you parent. Your wants lead to decisions and the decisions you make are the point of power in your life and with your parenting.
It’s very challenging not to be run by your past decisions. For example, "I need to give my children a consequence to teach them a lesson." Or by your past identity as a parent. For example, "I can’t change my mind or I’ll be weak." You want something, you decide to do that thing it propels you, so to speak.
In a way, we are always making decisions sometimes consciously but a lot of the time unconsciously. The unconscious decisions we make create little piles of unconscious decisions that start filling up our parenting strategy.
In this episode, we're diving into how to create powerful WANTs that help you create the life you WANT.
