An Invitation: Reflect On The Best Decisions You’ve Made
Life is busy. Take a minute for yourself.
Parents second guess themselves — a lot. When you’re immediately responsible to guide the next generation, parents apply unnecessary pressure that often causes anxiety. Maybe I am projecting?
Tracy Stewart invites “meeting free days” and suggests they could change your life. I have to agree.
Tracy talks about making time and space to feel a deeper connection with yourself:
Do you step back and reflect on what you have done “right”?
Whether you are a parent or not, I invite you to take a minute to do just that!
Take this moment to pause, breathe and reflect on some key decisions that solicit a sense of pride.
Give yourself a pat on the back.
Acknowledge the goodness that you contribute to the world; to your neighbour; to your fellow writers here on Medium.
You are worthy.
You have made some incredible choices that are fulfilling, rewarding and have inspired others.
There is something magnificent in you — I can see it and feel it in the words I read here in this space.
You are awesome.
For our family, we made decisions around:
- letting our children start a YouTube channel
- mandatory participation in an arts and a sports activity
- signing the kids, at their request, for a paper route
- choosing to home school
- making it a priority to purchase an all-season camper
And — I would classify these as some of the best decisions we have made.
What are your best decisions?
Let me know about at least one of them in the comments.
