Growth: Minnesota Winter Purposeful + Protective Stance

Part 3 of 5 | Growth: Minnesota Winter - Purposeful + Protective?

Journal Prompt: Wherever you live, what is your biggest complaint surrounding the weather? I use to HATE Minnesota winters until I decided that if I was going to live here, I might as well save the energy of complaining about it - repeatedly. I also later found that protective factors came along with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. Remember, it is all about mindset. You can think about it positively or negatively, you decide. Embrace the changes, grow with them, or complain about it and miss everything else that comes with enjoying your environment, season to season.

Please join me in answering the video's question: What about Minnesota Winters help us GROW? If you are outside of Minnesota, what season do you complain about the most? Can you see any beauty in it? What can you appreciate about it? Is there something deeper you can take away from it? Preserve your energy from complaining and try to think more positively so you can enjoy all of the fullness of the earth and everything in between.

Feel free to use your own examples and life experiences to apply the information you hear as you see fit. If you have a success story, recount how you got from where you were to where you are now? What do you need to keep going?

With growth comes discomfort and complaint. Try to see the beauty and the benefits of it instead!

Part 2 of 5 | Growth: Growing Pains

Journal Prompt: What is your cue that you are going through a growing pain versus a growth spurt?

Please join me in answering the question posed in the video of What are GROWING PAINS? What do they look like within your growth journey?

Feel free to use your own examples and life experiences to apply the information you hear as you see fit. Each one of us has a growth story. Some of us knew what we wanted from an early age and stage in life. Some of us just walked in blindness and faith and arrived somewhere that felt satisfying to the soul. Yet, some of us may still be on that journey of discovery. What is yours? How did you get from where you were to where you are now? What do you need to keep doing? Now describe what growing pains look like for you... What are your cues? DO you take them on, run from them, or sit in them for a while?

With growth comes growing pain.

Research Thursday 👶🏽

As stated by Soderstrom and Skarderud, (2009, p. 53): Minding the mind of the baby is a necessary precondition for the development of the infant’s self, affect regulation, and interpersonal understanding. This is intuitively understood by most caregivers, as the early interaction with the infant to a large extent consists of face-to-face and mind-to-mind interactions. Dr. Sweeney’s (2018) study assumes that exposure to early adverse experiences will affect a caregiver's self-development and be later brought into relationship with the children. If unresolved adversity prevents the caregiver from reflecting on the child’s needs, there might be challenges to the parent-child relationship, which will leave the child more vulnerable to adverse experiences. The ability to understand other minds rests on the experience of having been understood as an individual with a mind. The child learns the mind's dynamics and logic in safe and intimate interaction with caregivers, and the hoped-for result is a well-functioning interpersonal, interpretive mechanism and mentalizing competence. (Soderstrom & Skarderud, 2009, p. 53)

Take Care Tuesday

See where you want to go. Imagine what it would be like to (insert your fantasy thought here). Visualize it. Start walking/moving in that direction!

When the distractions come, tell them you are not going that way and get out of your way! If you stumble along the way, get back up, ground yourself as best you can. Keep it moving!!!

Happy Glowday 🔆

Happy Friday Growth 🌱🌱🌱

Growing up, my dad shared that if I found work that I loved to do, I would never work another day in my life…🤔 I had no idea what that meant. Yet, I understood enough to see it through 👣

I have hustled after that statement ever since - I've found my professional love. My passion drives my growth path…and it just works.



Enjoy your weekend!

Growth 🌱🌱🌱

I am liable for how much I allow others to pull me into their stuff. One of my famous and favorite clinical phrases is "what's your stuff and what’s mine.”

Know your stuff, know when others pull you into their stuff or dump… see 👀 when you are putting your stuff onto others. In other words, check yourself, so others do not have to. I live by these same principles, and it decreases the drama in and around life…. ahhhhhhh!
