Cats baking bread and self-criticsm...what?
|
Hello again Reader, And if you're new to the community, welcome! This season often invites reflection on what’s been done, what’s unfinished, and what we hope will be different in the new year. For many teens, that reflection can quickly turn into self-criticism. One simple resilience building message we can offer as parents, guides, & mentors to them (and to ourselves 😉) is this: You are allowed to be where you are. You are enough exactly where you are. Resilience isn’t built by constantly pushing forward. It’s built when teens learn they can pause, notice what’s good, and treat themselves with kindness even through the uncertainty. I like to use thankfulness and gratitude to help me step into this message. When I think about a person, place, thing, memory, or experience .... it helps me stay true that it's ok to be where I'm at. And importantly, I don't have to love it all. This morning, for example, I felt a little grumpy and irritated. My cat was “baking bread” on my lap while I was trying to concentrate. And at the same time, I noticed my cozy blanket, my fun orange pen, and just how much love that cat gives me. Nothing needed to change. Invitation to catch a moment where you are ok with where things are at.

Happy New Year Reader! Welcome to the Raising Resilient Teen Girls Community- so glad you're here. If you've been here a while, thank you for being a fan. If you're new welcome! Can we talk feelings for a minute? I often hear a version of this when working with teen girls, "I can't cry" or "I know I need to let my emotions out, but I can't seem to" And sometimes when we don't how to help those feelings move through us, we find other means to cope. In being more direct and honest with you......
