Emotionally Uncomfortable

Diary of a 2 year old: Today I woke up and wanted to get dressed by myself but was told "No, we don't have time, let me do it." This made me sad. I wanted to feed myself for breakfast but was told "No, you're too messy, let me do it for you." This made me feel frustrated. I wanted to walk to the car and get in on my own but was told, "No, we need to get going, we don't have time. Let me do it." This made me cry. I wanted to get out of the car on my own but was told "No, we don't have time, let me do it." This made me want to run away. Later I wanted to play with blocks but was told "no, not like that, like this…" I decided I didn't want to play with blocks any more. I wanted to play with a doll that someone else had, so I took it, I was told "no, don't do that, you have to share." I'm not sure what I did, but it made me sad. So I cried. I wanted a hug but was told "no, you're fine, go play". I'm being told it's time to pick up, I know this because someone keeps saying, "Go pick up your toys." I am not sure what to do, I am waiting for someone to show me…."What are you doing, why are you just standing there, pick up your toys…Now." I was not allowed to dress myself or move my own body to get to where I needed to go, but now I am being asked to pick things up. I'm not sure what to do. Is someone supposed to show me how to do this? Where do I start? Where do these things go? I am hearing a lot of words but I do not understand what is being asked of me. I am scared and do not move. I lay down on the floor and cry. When it was time to eat I wanted to get my own food but was told "no, you're too little, let me do it." This made me feel small. I tried to eat the food in front of me but I did not put it there and someone keeps saying "here, try this, eat this…" and putting things in my face. I didn't want to eat anymore. This made me want to throw things and cry. I can't get down from the table because no one will let me…because I'm too small and I can't. They keep saying I have to take a bite. This makes me cry more. I'm hungry and frustrated and sad. I'm tired and I need someone to hold me. I do not feel safe or in control. This makes me scared. I cry even more. I am 2. No one will let me dress myself, no one will let me move my own body where it needs to go, no one will let me attend to my own needs. However, I am expected to know how to share, "listen", or "wait a minute". I am expected to know what to say and how to act or handle my emotions. I am expected to sit still or know that if I throw something it might break….But, I do NOT know these things. I am not allowed to practice my skills of walking, pushing, pulling, zipping, buttoning, pouring, serving, climbing, running, throwing or doing things that I know I can do. Things that interest me and make me curious, these are the things I am NOT allowed to do. I am 2. I am not terrible…I am frustrated. I am nervous, stressed out, overwhelmed, and confused. I need a hug. Author unknown Mom Is In Control Mastery Program Apply today: www.momisincontrol.com

"You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who refuse to come to earth. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope, and without fear. I love you. Remember. They cannot take it." ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium

"Money's job is to bring up everything that hasn't yet been healed" - Sarah Walton www.sarahwalton.com Sarah Walton is the founder of The Money Mindset Course, an interactive course designed to transform our relationship to money, the When I Grow Up program for entrepreneurs and about-to-be entrepreneurs, and Better Way Moms, an online magazine for moms. Before leaving corporate America to support other women full-time, Sarah spent her 15-year career navigating the corporate world, where she managed a P&L worth hundreds of millions of dollars, worked closely with Marianne Williamson, mentored dozens of women, and balanced motherhood at the same time. As her career progressed she was frequently the only woman in the room as the executive team made decisions for customers, product development, financial projections, company direction and company culture. Knowing that women play a crucial part in the overall health of our communities, it was the Dalai Lama's quote "The world will be saved by the Western woman" in 2010 that really sparked a deep passion and began to drive Sarah's work. When she decided to leave corporate, she found a whole new world inside the culture of entrepreneurs and the amazingly creative drive women bring to the economy and our society. She knew her extensive business background would help her serve entrepreneurs as they strive for their dreams. In a quest to make sure women are empowered with every tool needed to fulfill on the Dalai Lama's promise, Sarah founded her companies and started creating events, workshops and courses and she became a regular contributor for The Huffington Post. Through her companies, and her Redefining Success Events, she now speaks around the nation, offering her courses, products and workshops, all designed to inspire, inform, ignite passion and bring the power of femininity forward. Her focus is on taking better care of ourselves, developing a healthy relationship to money, creating challenging goals and learning how to lean back just as often as we lean in. Her companies have become known and trusted brands around the world and one of her businesses was recently featured on The Today Show.
