What's your number one question about self-improvement?


Are you struggling to manage your emotions around your child? Do you feel like you can't control your temper or reactions in certain situations? If yes, then you are not alone. Many parents, if not all, have been faced with this challenge at some point in their parenting journey. Although parenting is an incredibly rewarding experience, it can also be an emotional rollercoaster that can leave parents feeling overwhelmed and stressed.

In moments where we feel like we're losing control, it's important to remember that our children can sense when we're not in control. Whether it's a temper tantrum or a disagreement with our partner in front of the kids, they can pick up on our energy. It's important for us to create a safe and stable home environment for our children, and that starts with our own emotional regulation.

The good news is that we have the power to regulate our emotions and remain calm even in the most challenging situations. One powerful tool to help us achieve this is through daily affirmations. Affirmations are simply powerful statements that we repeat to ourselves to encourage positive change in our thoughts and behaviours. When we repeat affirmations, they have the ability to change the negative thought patterns and replace them with positive ones.

So what is the affirmation that can help you regulate your emotions and remain calm around your child?

The affirmation is "I am in control of my emotions around my child."

Just imagine, hearing this affirmation every day and allowing it to sink deep within you. Picture going through your day, and when things get challenging, you remind yourself of this affirmation. Say it to yourself, and focus on regulating your emotions, remaining calm, and making a conscious effort to create a positive environment for your child.

Here are some practical tips for incorporating this affirmation in your daily routine:

1. Repeat the affirmation to yourself multiple times a day: As you get ready in the morning, driving to work, or sitting at your desk. Say it with conviction and focus on the positive impact it will have on your day.

2. Visualize yourself remaining calm in challenging situations: As you repeat the affirmation, take a moment to visualize yourself remaining calm when your child throws a tantrum or when your partner disagrees with you.

3. Use the affirmation to reflect on past experiences: When you reflect on past experiences where you may have lost control of your emotions, use the affirmation to refocus your thoughts and remind yourself of the positive changes you can make.

4. Make the affirmation a part of your bedtime routine: Before you go to bed, take a moment to repeat the affirmation to yourself and reflect on all the positive changes you made throughout the day.

By incorporating this affirmation into your parenting style, you will empower yourself to be a better role model for your child and create a more positive family dynamic. Remember, the power to regulate your emotions is within you, and through daily affirmations, you can take control of your emotions and create a harmonious home environment for you and your family. So say it with me, "I am in control of my emotions around my child."
