Once I became a mom, there were a lot of changes in my life. I will admit, like most moms, I got frazzled and lost my cool once in awhile. I remember Kayden going through a sleep regression at around 18 months, I had no sleep, he was always hyper at 1 am, and I felt like a hot mess. I read something online that said if your child wants to be held embrace it, because there will be a day when your child doesn't want that anymore. That stuck with me, and changed my attitude on how I approach situations. I just kept thinking, that all of this will only be for a short time, his temper tantrums, him throwing food on the floor and wanting to be around me every second. With that mentality, i became a lot calmer. Once I realized this is a phase, or a small stepping stone into the next stage I became a lot calmer. It is so interesting, because I remember my boyfriend saying to me, he will sense your mood, and if I am stressed or anxious he will feel the same way. Because my boyfriend works days and nights, I take care of Kayden by myself most days, and I will admit, it has gone a lot smoother. Sure there are times where my emotions get the best of me, but hey, I'm human. Try to remain calm in every situation, i wont discuss things or tackle situations if I know my emotions are going to get the best of me. There are times when I wait a few days, because I want to ensure I am not thinking with my emotions. this also allows me to see things from the other parties perspective. Like the caption says, it is a superpower. It isn't the easiest thing in the world, so just try to take it one situation at a time, and take a deep breath!
