Coach Ambereen teaches parents to pause when they finish work and say affirmations out loud, like "I am ready. I am happy. I am powerful." Vocalizing these statements stops negative emotions from hardening into a lasting mood that shapes how you see the world and show up for your kids.
When you park the car, I want you to say this feeling out loud to yourself if possible. I often find myself saying things like, "I am ready. I am happy. I am powerful," as I wind up my workday to go and greet my kids. I get to do similar work like this with my own coaching clients to make sure their negative feelings don't become a part of their emotional state, which then becomes their attitude, and that's how they perceive the world. See, as a parent, you want to be very mindful of the way that you're showing up, and coaching gives you an opportunity to shape, to shape and change that narrative to be beneficial for your whole house.
