Amy does a lot of mindset work. She has children and adults alike write down positive statements about themselves and who they are, and then hang it up on their wall. When they continuously see those words on their wall, they really start to believe it. It’s really about learning to love yourself. It is also important to let go of all of your negative feelings. You need to learn how to let things go and remember the positives. Look for the positives in your life rather than the negatives. Empathy is also huge. You never know what other people are going through, but you need to try to step into other people’s shoes and try to see how they’re feeling before making judgements about them. Or better yet, don’t make any judgements!

 It is also very important to forgive yourself when things go wrong. You can’t put yourself down if things don’t go to plan or if you make a mistake. Parents are role models for their children. If the child hears their parent saying something negative about themselves, that sticks with them and it becomes something that they think is ok to do. However, if you tell yourself that it’s ok when you make a mistake and your child hears it, then they will learn that it’s ok to make mistakes. It is important to take a step back and take a deep breath when mistakes are made or when you feel stressed. Step into positivity and forgive yourself when bad things happen. You are learning and it’s ok to make mistakes. Do the best you can, give your child love, give them what they need, but you need to love yourself first. Continue to remind yourself that you are amazing just the way you are and share that with your kids as well.
