Start asking for what you want from yourself. Create the story you want to live. Infuse the sticks that make up your nest with a story full of strength and wisdom and insight worthy of passing on to the next generation.
Not just a story but a nest filled with coping skills taught by example, skills that actually make kids strong. Skills that will be useful to them. That will set them up several steps ahead, rather than having them struggle to disentangle themselves from unproductive and dysfunctional mechanisms that only serve to slow them down.
If what you’ve always done isn’t working for you, then do your kids a favour and stop modelling it to them.
