The Power of Words and Decisions

I think we forget how powerful our words can be. A few days ago I was presented with a wonderful opportunity and I had to wrestle with my answer of yes or no. Our answers have weight, they have power and they have opportunity. The opportunity to say No or the opportunity to say Yes can change the trajectory of your day, your week, your month, year, or life. What happens when we allow ourselves to lean into the power of our words and really take time to make decisions that can create an impact.

Decision making can be a quick or slow process depending on who you are and how you chose to make decisions. Each decision should be made with thought, processing what the pros and cons would be and exploration of what you are hoping to achieve with the decision that is in front of you. What would it be like if you stopped, thought of the pros and cons and really put your heart into the big decisions of your life? I know we live in such a fast pace time but there comes a time when we must stop and really think about our decisions. Would you be more confident in your decision making? Would you be more open to the stressors that could come with each decision? Would you be more aware of what you’re getting into?

Think about your decision-making process, what you may say yes to, what you may say no to and a time you wish you would have made a different decision. What would you do different? What would you do the same? Do you think its time to rethink your decision-making process and ways to make it fit into your thinking patterns more effectively?  Its never to late to know the power of your words, and its never to early to work on your decision-making process. We all have this power.


You have the power, good people 😊

Social Media

 Social Media Check In  Since January, I have tried to take a step back from social media. I get it, its only March, but the reality of it is that our students are ingrained in social media everyday, nearly every moment. From Instagram, TikTok to snapchat and iMessage’s- our students are always connected. Although these things are wonderful because they do connect, they also have their own social emotional implications. One thing I recommend is periodically do social media check in. This will help you see what your kids are seeing/being influenced by/reading. This will also help your student to see what they are experiencing. Its easy to take a second, check in and to recalibrate the brain.  Also - since I stopped posting, nothing has happened. No major social implications, no minor issues. You will notice when you stop positing, connections thrive because the communication is more personal and intentional. Really take time to see what type of relationships you are cravin...

Holiday Stress The holidays are such a strange time, when you think about it. It is the most joyful and exciting time but it is also the most stressful and overwhelming time. Having to split your time, having to balancing families, having to stretch financially to give gifts, having to be everywhere when you don't want to be anywhere. So what happens to our joy?   The holidays should be a time to slow down, reflect on the year we had, take time with the ones you love and to just breathe. So what makes us do all of the holiday crazies? My hypothesis is we tend to take the last two months of the year to "catch up" on everything. As the end of the calendar year closes we want to make up for any "lost" time that we had at our jobs, with our families or with our friends. We want to make sure that we can close out the year on a high note. We also strive for showing others that we love them. During the holiday season two big love languages are being used: quality t...

  How to be Purple? Recently, I have got the pleasure to read the book "The World Needs More Purple People" by Kristen Bell and Benjamin Hart.  This is a great story told by Penny who is going through steps on how to be purple. It breaks down what a purple person is and what you get to do to be purple!  Being purple is a choice followed by actions. Being purple is easy, fun and its something that we can all work towards! Use this language with your child to remind them of what they are capable of and how we can all be purple by making the choices to ask good questions, laughing a lot, using our voice, working hard and being ourselves!
