Month 3 Material
This is where each weeks material will be uploaded and organized by week
Week 1- Nervous system awareness
Please take your time with the material! There's absolutely no rush. I just want you to have what you need to feel supported as you make decisions, grow, and learn yourself. This is not a race. This is relearning a lifetime worth of beliefs, patterns, and ways of dealing with the most delicate part of you.
First, I'd love for you to think about how we are in month 3 of the Divine Motherhood Academy! Congratulations for making it this far!
This weeks focus is on the details.
I want you to allow yourself to be an observer of your thoughts. Especially the thoughts around yourself, your child, and your partner.
How do you become an observer of your thoughts?
1. Your thoughts are not you. They're a part of your experience. So when you hear a thought, I want you to allow yourself to hear it without feeling like it's who you are, rather just what you're thinking.
2. Notice the feeling that comes along with them. Without judging the feeling or the thought, just notice them as they are.
At the end of each day this week, I'd love for you to either write in a journal or share in the group space, what you notice about your thoughts surrounding yourself, your child(ren), and your partner.
Bonus reflection questions:
Journaling Questions/Reflection work:
-
Have you ever paid specific attention to your thoughts and what feelings are attached to those thoughts?
-
Do you feel you have power over the thoughts you have when it comes to you and your family?
-
From the week, what are some of the themes of your thoughts?
Week 2 -Week 3
This week, I'd love for you to focus on the following questions:
1. What is my relationship with my emotions? Go through each emotion and think about what your relationship has been with this emotion.
ex. My relationship with sadness has been a rocky one. I don't like to feel sad because when I am sad, I feel alone and misunderstood. I don't like the way it feels in my body. I feel helpless when I'm sad.
2. If you were to think of the relationship you'd like to have with each of these emotions, what would it be?
ex. When I think about the relationship I'd like to have with anger. I'd like to not feel so out of control with anger. I'd like to feel like when I'm angry, I'm listening to myself. I'm present with myself and I'm not mad with myself for feeling anger.
3. How did you develop this relationship with your emotions? What do you think contributed to your relationship with emotions?
4. With the relationship you share with emotions, how does that impact your partnership and parenting journey? How does that impact the way you view them?
5. How do you feel you'd go about changing this relationship?
THIS WEEK:
I want you to see emotions as something that is not you, but an experience that you get to have. When they are present, I want you to practice stillness and acceptance with these emotions.
Write a letter to these emotions. Letting them know what you're willing to commit in getting to know them.
Share in the group your letting under Month 3: 1-4 Material.
Please remember to go at your own pace. There is no rush in completing anything. And any questions. I'm here. You've got this! <3
Week 4
This week is our last week! I'm so excited and grateful for what this has offered!
This week I'd love for you to focus on the following:
CREATING A DAILY DEVOTIONAL PRACTICE.
What this looks like is choosing a time that works best for you on a day to day to devote time (5-10 minutes) to:
1. Body tap
2. Pray/ Set intention for a deepened emotional connection with yourself and your family
3. Breathing (deep belly breathing or 444 method)
4. Somatic body movement (jumping, hip movements, arm shaking)
When you think about the reason you chose to be a part of this community, you wanted to have a better relationship with yourself and your family. Are you willing to do what it takes to have that?
Every day matters. Making time with what you have matters.
Whether it be in the morning, afternoon, or evening, there's time that you want to make and create to devote to your emotional connection and nervous system so that you can live life with your family in a more healthier way.
This week I want you to intentionally focus on setting aside time to create a practice that allows you to get to know yourself more on an emotional and nervous system level and document how this feels for you.
If you have questions, please let me know!
