Carson Meyer Instagram – Every parent knows the power of the “redirect” when their child is on the verge of a meltdown. But we often forget that the wisdom of the redirect is equally valuable for us as adults and a tool we can all benefit from when things get tough. Our children’s nervous systems depends on us. We can not expect them to find their center when we are not rooted in ours. In a recent post I wrote about the mindset we bring to parenthood and how we can choose to approach the experience. It can be easier said than done. These are some of the ways I redirect my mood: ✨ Living room dance party (Lou loves this one) ✨ Getting in nature or just stepping outside for fresh air. ✨ Getting together with girlfriends. This one really makes a world of a difference for me. Parenting in community is how it’s meant to be. ✨ Getting out of the house to change things up. ✨ Dropping my expectations and obligations for the day and accept that productivity looks very different these days. ✨ Physical activity that gets my heart rate up ✨ Eye gazing with my babe and making her laugh ✨ A warm bath with @candthemoon scrub down and glow oil massage. ✨ Leaning on my partner to help me co-regulate ✨ @thefullestco saffron latte What’s your go-to mama redirect?
