This week: Crushing A Crazy Saturday

• For many parents, July can be crazy! Take it hour by hour, day by day, and try to remain calm.
• Recognizing when you are in an anxious state when things are hectic. Visual and mental exercises can help you calm.
• When the anxiety hits, STOP and employ the RE process: rewind, reset, refocus, replace, reframe, reflect, and rejoice. Practice it and it will become automatic.
• Instead of getting into the rushed and angry mode, talk to yourself and go over why the things you are doing are good things. Smile and enjoy the journey.
• Your anxious state initiates other states of being in those around you, that are not ideal.
• We can’t do everything ourselves. We need a village. DELEGATE!
• Rephrasing the way you talk about your day and what you HAVE to do to what you GET to do, will change the way you feel about things.
• With your partner, try to be observant and recognize patterns of emotion in each other, and discuss how you can improve things together.
• Be confident in your ability to get it done. You will find you are much calmer getting through hectic times. Practice makes perfect. Repeat what worked, stop what didn’t.
