Simple Way to Honor Yourself and Your Child #10
Trust. Or commit to developing trust. When parents choose to consider the idea and feeling of trust rather than fearing what might happen, a portal opens. It’s as if the offerer of unlimited possibilities comes out of the woodwork in wait for you to simply trust that an answer is available.
Possibly it’s an answer of how to handle a disagreement between yourself and your co-parent. Maybe it’s an answer to a consistent lack of sleep or a short fuse with a child. Trusting that the answer exists means it has a way to be received by you. When we feel like we cannot believe in an answer we cannot see or grasp anything outside of our current thought or feeling.
In a broader sense, trust is looking at things in a different light. Instead of believing that people are not trustworthy one can trust that people will be people. Certain people may have certain habits or patterns but anyone can change and children certainly will change as they grow.
Trust also allows for a brighter light to shine. Trust that you are just who you need to be right now (and the same goes for your child and partner), trust that what is happening in the world has great potential to give way for a more pleasant experience for all – starting with one’s inner experience.
How can you trust in yourself, your child, humanity, and the Universe? Start with what you already trust and stretch a bit to widen your circle of trust.
