Light Heart Parenting - How to Parent Yourself & Grow Personally - without losing your mind! eBook Version

Each week of this 5-week course will focus on one aspect of how to understand and honor your own strengths. Using the acronym R.A.I.S.E you will practice 5 Declarations: I Recognize my strengths. I Appreciate my strengths. I Involve my family in opportunities to notice and appreciate my strengths. I Support myself in growing my strengths. I Enjoy my strengths! People the world over desire close and loving relationships. Through years of experience we have found that the most powerful way to strengthen and grow those relationships is by delighting in the unique individual that each person is. And the best way to do that is to honor your own strengths first! In this course the focus will be on noticing yourself in deep and meaningful ways and noticing what comes up for you when you do. We are giving you activities and practices that will help you enhance your capacity for fully seeing yourself and knowing yourself in a clearer and more loving way. This practice of noticing is also about noticing others’ strengths, and to help you see how the simple practice of noticing can change the quality of your connections with yourself and others for the better. We all have an inner critic that is built on the remnants of those messages that we need to address and eventually silence. We hope that this process will lead you to an authentic and genuine understanding of yourself and others. Often, we tend to acknowledge the strengths of others before our own; in this course you will practice turning that focus onto yourself first.
