The Way We Speak

[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″] [et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] Have you ever considered that the way you speak to your children and spouse can influence a generation?

When I was an 8th grade teacher, I remember having parent teacher conferences.  The students that were having issues usually spoke to me as well as the other kids in class the same way one of their parents spoke to them.  It saddened me to see such demeaning words coming from any of their mouths.

This cycle is difficult to change, but so worth it.  Don’t brush off your short temper of shallow words to your personality.  You have don’t have to be like that.

I don’t like being spoken down to.  You don’t like being spoken down to!  No one does!

How about the next time you you catch yourself speaking down to a spouse or a child, you truly apologize.  Let them know it is something you want to change.  Explain that it is not a way you want to speak and that you are trying.

Watch the way they interact with you or others?  Do you want to nip it in the butt so it doesn’t get passed on?

You can stop it, but you must first be aware!

How about building each other up! No criticizing!

Start with yourself! Do the self coaching necessary to get this under control.

Let’s change this cycle!

Date: July 23, 2018

I consider myself lucky to have known Dana Palmer for the past 14 years. In that time I have not only experienced it for myself, but have seen what her gift can do to change the lives of others.

Over the past few months, she has been “Coaching” me – although I like to add the the words “Mentoring” “Inspiring” “Guiding” “Teaching” or “Reminding” me.

I have been married for almost fourteen years, and have three amazing children ages 12, 11 and 9 and am at a point in my life where I felt caught up in the thick of thin things. I had let things that shouldn’t matter, take over. I was letting the thoughts and actions of others control me. I felt lost. I had given other people the power to hurt me. I didn’t know who I was anymore. It was an overwhelming and awful feeling.

My sessions with Dana, utilizing the Thought Model, have helped me re prioritize and re focus my life. Some changes have been simple and small, and some are huge. Dana reminded me that I have to believe in myself. That making myself a priority is not wrong or selfish. That I was built to handle hard things and that happiness, true happiness, is possible.

I have the power to change my path at any time. And that was the best lesson of all. I cannot recommend Dana enough. I will be forever grateful for her role in changing my life.

Why does this keep bugging me?

The things that bug us the most in other people, usually bug us because we are not recognizing it in ourselves.  Learn to turn your thoughts around to see what is really going on.
