Give Your Children A Voice








Let your children express who they are and let them become the person they are meant to be.


Build their self-worth.  Grow their self belief.  Develop their self-efficacy.

Engage in conversations with your child and encourage them to articulate their views; as simplistic and naive or completely ridiculous as they may be.

I grew up voiceless.


That sounds harsh, I know.

But that is what I remember from most of my childhood.
      Not the fun stuff.  I remember feeling anxious about everything.

Don't get me wrong, I did my fair share of being naughty.  And I wasn't locked in a cupboard or kept in a basement or anything physically terrible.  I was just expected to be in the background. 

I was good at it.

And it destroyed my confidence.

Utopia Is An Unattainable Aspiration.



Why Utopia Is An Unattainable Aspiration.



Do this experiment; close your eyes for 5 or even 10 minutes.  Now, envision your perfect world.  


How will your day start, what aspects of your day make it perfect in your eyes. 
 


Consider everything; what are you eating? What car will you be driving-will you even drive? What foods will you be eating? Who are your neighbours?  Do you have neighbours?  Where do you live?  Do you live in a house, or something entirely different?  


Explore all the things you have thought about over time and wished were either different or would actually be implemented. 


Consider what your government would be like, do you even want a government?  Is your government democratic, marxist, communistic?  Do you have a head of state or a president?  



Keep identifying your ideal world until all your ideas are exhausted, or you have run out of time.

Is your perfectionism the root of your procrastination?


Sometimes I think we get so caught up in our own heads we end up treading water because the fog is so thick that we can’t find our way forward.

At least that is how I feel allot of the time.

I think too much. I know it.

I try to work out the best ways to do things and then I end up spending so much time researching the how, that I forget to actually go and do.


I think it is a problem that allot of people suffer from. Some people would call it procrastination.
But I am not sure it is that.


Some would say it is fear of failure or even fear of success, and sure, fear may be a symptom but, I feel as though this is another beast altogether.


Really though, I think it is perfectionism at it’s debilitating best.
