When you choose to view all that is happening as something that you need, you start learning A LOT very quickly. I completely thought I was in labor and called our family 2.5 hours away so they could be there for it, only to have every contraction stop by 11:00 pm! I felt so disappointed and like I had let everyone down or wasted their time... which is NOT how I want to spend the last bit of my pregnancy. Fortunately, I have more tools and landed on three refreshing perspectives that lifted me up by the very next morning. I'm opening up and sharing those with you here so that people pleasing tendencies are something you can actively work on overcoming too!

I don't want my first thoughts to be negative and swimming in the "happening to me..." mentality. Yet, sometimes they are. Here's a question I ask myself that lifts me up and out of that victim mentality and sets me on the high road of being who I WANT to be, no matter where I go or who I am with. This one might feel challenging to take in so know 1. I LOVE YOU and all people in your life and mine. 2. We are meant to be challenged. 3. If it feels hard it's probably because you need to do it.

It seems a bit odd to me that when I share about serving seamlessly, the biggest objections that come up against it are fear based thoughts around "doing too much." Doing too much for our kids, spouse and others. Seamless service is not about doing everything for someone else. It is taking opportunities to serve others well when and how you can. To see a need and fill it with the same attitude you want your kids to have when they see a need to fill. We need the right attitude married to our behaviors! Enjoy this episode to nudge your perspective into new open territory that breathes life and change into your attitude.

How will I get my kids to listen.  How will I get them to get along with each other.  How will they be okay in the world we have today?  How will I know I did right by them?

Today we are unpacking the faithful thought "Trust that it will rain." As well as what it would look like as a journaling prompt with several examples. Truly, this fresh perspective has been shedding layers of fear and anxiety for me and I know this sweet relief is too good to keep to myself.
