How to have conversations without arguing?

 
First and foremost, set the intention to have a conversation without arguing. Let the person that you’re talking to know, decide on creating a peaceful environment, and clarify what it is that you’d like to achieve during this conversation.
Make sure that, when you’re sharing, you’re using “I” words, you’re not blaming and saying “You” words. You want to think about flowing with the person you’re talking to, instead of against them, and understand that you have your perspective, and they have their perspective, and as much as you want them to understand you, you also need to make sure that you understand them. When you have two different perspectives they can both be right.
So come to your side, go to their side, and decide together how you want to proceed with these two sides of the equation.

Today we’re going to talk about when you doubt yourself as a parent.

 
Doubting your parenting skills is so natural and so easy to do.
One thing that I find particularly helpful is this: when I see the joy, the love, the purity, and the innocence of my children, I try to remember that that’s me too. That’s the purity and the essence of who I am, and my soul. I try to remember to be kinder to myself, and to trust that just seeing my kids as that essence, loving them, not getting in their way, and letting them be who they are, is better for both of us.
So remember: loving yourself for your essence and loving your kids for their essence.

One trick to finding your purpose is to think about what you were into as a child.

 
What lit you up, what got you excited, what made you come alive when you were a kid? Try to figure out how to reconnect with the things that have really resonated with you in the past.
Because, oftentimes, we get so caught up in our minds and what we think that we should be doing, that we lose track of our hearts and what our souls really need for us to be doing.

How to deal when you feel like you’re not enough?

 
It’s something that I really resonate with because I’ve recently been struggling with this myself. What I’ve come to is this term of “satisfied ambition.”
I realized that I’m already there, you’re already there, we’re already there.
Look at American life compared to the majority of the world. We have so much to be grateful for, so much. So rather than just chasing for more and feeling not enough, how about just being satisfied first and then whatever it is that we achieve beyond that is just icing on the cake.
“Satisfied ambition” helps us enjoy where we are while we’re on the journey of growing.
