A dear friend told me tonight that I've come a long way with my mantras. I agree.
I find myself repeating "Calm is strength" in my mind multiple times per day. I often utter it to other teachers and sometimes even to students. There is SO much wisdom to it. I only wished I had embraced it sooner! 💪🏻💪🏻
The greatest teacher of this calm mantra has been parenting. Hands down. Nothing will teach you how to have more patience, more flexibility, and more love than the little being that you created and is ALL yours, as terrifying as that realization may be. Kids teach us to love and give in ways we never thought possible and to so profoundly care about someone else that you put yourself second, happily. 😍😍😍
Parenting is a constant emotional and exhausting roller coaster, with its share of unpredictable highs, lows, and ever-changing landscapes. Parenting makes you tired in a way no one can ever explain to you. Parenting teaches you who you are, what love is, and what really matters in life. 👶🏻👶🏻
For years, I always loved my students like my own children. Now, with an ever-moving toddler and .75 of his brother developed, I know that having your own children is the greatest gift of all. We learn more than we could have ever imagined from them, and it's a wonder our hearts don't explode with love. 💗💗💗
Yes, calm IS strength, and parenting has made me into an even stronger warrior woman capable of appreciating and living every day to the fullest. I am sad that this may be my last pregnancy but just trying to enjoy every day with my baby bump and feel blessed that I have yet another precious life growing inside of me.
Life is truly such a miracle.
