This poem stops me in my tracks every time 💛
“Life is amazing.
And then it’s awful.
And then it’s amazing again…”
It resonates with me so deeply because it captures what real life actually feels like. Not the highlight reel, not the perfect moments, but the full human experience. The joy, the heartbreak, the messy middle and the ordinary days where nothing big happens but everything is still unfolding.
As adults we often forget that children are living this too. They have amazing moments and they have awful moments, and in between they have school runs, tired afternoons, routines, friendships, worries and feelings they cannot always explain.
This is why mindset matters so much to me. Not because we can make life perfect, but because we can help ourselves and our children learn how to breathe through it all. To hold on during the hard parts. To soften in the ordinary. To notice the small moments of beauty.
That is what Positive Pants is all about. Helping children and families build emotional tools so they can navigate the amazing, the awful and everything in between with more calm, confidence and self kindness 🌿✨
Because life really is breathtakingly beautiful, even when it is hard 💛
