i lay awake... thinking about everything i did wrong + didn't get to do that day i get panicky like i want a "do over" but there is no re-do for my life at 2 am this negative overwhelm seems to happen when i have coffee after 1 pm but also i know from a survival perspective the negativity bias is a real deal the negative can hijack our lives especially when we're stressed if we're not careful + conscious to insulate ourselves with the positive i don't mean going through life with rose colored glasses because that negative those stress + challenges of life are very real but what i do mean is... throughout your day is woven a string of the most beautiful occurrences these gems of life sit right next to all the negative stuff don't let your gems be overshadowed by all the crazy hard stuff of life how to ensure the scales of your life are tipped to the positive? the #1 way to create MORE positivity + goodness in your life? grow all the good stuff that's already there in your life to tip the scales in the teeter totter of life to the positive think about all the good things that day all the things that went right when you were in the love when you accomplished stuff when you felt good + were enjoying your life life create that positivity loop of your day + play it on repeat to shut down your negative thinking + reclaim your positivity bias as i lay awake that night at 2 am feeling like a failure i did just that i grew the good stuff to hijack the negative i played the positive from my day on repeat creating a posivitiy bias that finally lulled me to sleep i know it's not always easy but you can do it too when you feel all negative full of doubt or worry when the hard stuff in life is playing on repeat + your negativity bias has hijacked your reality you can stop that negativity train by playing all the positive from your day + your life on repeat til you believe it You Got This.

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
