I am reading a book called "The Power" it's awesome!! It's kind of like "the secret" actually written by the same people. It's based on the same principal of the law of attraction, but its the secret behind the law of attraction which is LOVE. I am just blown away by how true this book is for my life. If you approach your day from a place of love, everything miraculously seems to go your way! It basically just encourages me to have a happy outlook on my day. Something I read last night truly gave me strength and a whole new way of approaching parenting today.
Ok, so last night I am reading a chapter about how what if you were to think of every person you come into contact with as your own PET (personal emotional trainer). Every person's job is to teach you to choose love. Some people make it really easy... cutie pie baby who lifts her arms up and says "mama". Very easy to choose to be loving to her. More difficult... daughter who cried and was defiant about four different things in an hour tonight... or son who cried LOUDLY in target this afternoon because I wouldn't buy him a new train.
Because of the chapter on them being my own little PET's last night I approached this challenge in a new way. Instead of getting really frustrated and mad at them for not being agreeable or "easy" in my head I'm like "Ahah! They are TESTING ME!" They are making me STRONGER! "I can win this" I say to myself and I am just outrageously patient and kind. And guess what... it worked!! I won!!!

When I rise above the chaos I feel so proud of myself!! And so in control. :) It's gonna be my new thing... hahahaha you can't frustrate me!
