"Happy St. Valentine's!" said my boys as they handed me a heart that said, "Mommy, I love you!" At that moment I felt very loved and appreciated. Mmmm, it felt good!

Do you often experience intense emotions as a parent? If you are a parent, my guess is that you said, "Yes!"

I have been reflecting on the power of emotions lately. Parenting has given me the opportunity to experience very intense emotions. To be honest, before being a parent I didn't realize I could feel so intensely!

Some of these emotions have felt good, like feeling loved and loving, appreciated and appreciative, proud, hopeful, excited and inspired.

I've also experienced emotions that have felt bad, like feeling angry, confused, dissapointed, sad, guilty, concerned, and overwhelmed.

 

I have come to understand that negative emotions are a powerful catalyst for change. They let me know when there is something I do not desire in my reality so that I can take the necessary steps to change it.

I've also noticed that when I experience intense negative emotions it is more challenging for me to connect with my heart and higher wisdom in order to create the positive change I desire.

This is one reason I am so thankful to have discovered the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

This month's featured article, "EFT, Emotional Freedom for Parents" shows you how you can use this powerful tool to help you release the negative emotions that are holding you back from parenting in a centered and loving way.

This eNewsletter is also packed with resources to empower you as a parent. Check out the "Managing Media in the Home" teleclass, Julie Rosenshein's "Highly Sensitive & Indigo Children" workshop, and the book, "Child of Mine, Know This."

Blessings of Love,
