Hi,

My name is Holly Hall at AskHollyHall.

Com and I'm a conscious life coach and an astro-psychologist.

That means I use very powerful intuition through astrology and I have a psychology,

Philosophy,

Educational background.

I also have experience with teenage mental health.

I coach a lot of teenagers and mothers who are experiencing this and because this is my story as well.

I find that often the parents are forgotten and the parents don't have time to take care of themselves.

And so I've decided to make this affirmational meditation for parents.

For those parents that are courageous and brave,

I am proud of you.

This is something that can be used for encouragement to help you when you're feeling stuck or when you're faced with an unprecedented challenge.

It is often helpful to listen to a few words of encouragement.

I am wonderful.

I am loving and I am the best parent that I can be at this moment.

Only gaining more wisdom and more strength as I watch myself transform,

As I watch myself become extremely creative in problem solving these new problems that have arose with my child.

I am capable of great things.

I am not helpless.

I am not alone.

Although I may feel alone,

I am not alone.

I honor and I am compassionate and I am forgiving of myself when I do need times to retreat,

To withdraw,

To take stock.

I am an amazing person.

This is not my fault.

This is not anyone's fault.

This is a journey.

It may be the path of my child's life,

But it is our journey and we will become greater,

Stronger,

More loving,

More connected than ever because of this journey.

I seek and I welcome all the help that is out there.

I am not ashamed.

I am brave.

I am courageous and even though I do not feel courageous at this moment,

I know that I am building the strength that I need to carry on.

I am open and honest and I will not pretend that this is difficult,

That this is not difficult.

I will not pretend that this is not difficult.

It is difficult.

It's challenging.

It's growth and I will be open and honest with my children about this growth that we both endure because it is not their fault.

It is not my fault and I will find the strength to get all of the help that I need and that I require from my family.

I have the confidence and I know that the most beautiful thing that I can wear is confidence and as I reek of this confidence,

It shines a light on all those around me that are suffering as well.

I know that when the whole world is silent around me and nobody knows what to say,

That my one voice can become very powerful.

Nobody cares if I'm not doing this well or if I am doing it well.

They only care if I get through this with passion,

Compassion and well-being.

I may not be perfect,

But parts of me are pretty awesome.

When I look in the mirror,

I see a raw version of who I am,

Authentic,

Pure,

Courageous and strong,

Loving and caring,

Soft and weak.

It's all okay.

I am stronger than I was.

This too shall pass.

When there is no struggle,

There is no strength.

Do not judge yourself.

I do not judge myself.

The most effective way is to just do it.

And that I know that often there is not the perfect time.

There is not the most courageous,

Brave,

Easy time.

Often it isn't easy.

And I know that I just have to keep moving on.

It may feel like misery,

But I know that there is beauty in every moment.

I know that if I don't have any shadows,

I will not see the light within me or the light within those people that I love.

And I know when I notice that I'm having negative thoughts about how this is all going to pan out,

I need to remind myself that I am not a fortune teller and that I can reframe that.

Optimism is the fate that leads to achievement.

Happiness is getting what I want,

But happiness is wanting what I have.

There is nothing that is going to take this away.

There is nothing that's going to change anything.

It is what it is and I accept it with courage and strength and love because I know the universe has a plan.

I know that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be right at this moment.

I am loving.

I am an amazing person.

I am doing the best that I can and tomorrow I will do better and next week I'll do even better because I will know more because time is a great teacher and I know that I am loving.

I am loved.

I am beloved.

I am a good person.

I am awesome.

I am patient.

I am kind and I am forgiving.

I love myself.

Namaste.

Thank you… I needed to hear that as a mom to a 19 year old bipolar daughter that’s mistreating me and mentally manipulating and saying toxic things to me

Thank you so much for this. It was just exactly what I needed to hear this morning! Thank you for recognizing and supporting those of us going through this - there seems to be so little out there for parents at this phase. Hearing that i am not alone and knowing that this too shall pass is a blessing. Namaste.

I needed this! Thank you! More pls! Would love to hear it without the intro at beginning. Thank you!

Thank you for your wise words which give me strength. 🙏🏽

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

Thank you! You are amazing! Thanks for sharing your gift and helping to know I am not alone on this journey of parenting! I think if I can raise my beautiful teenage daughter I can probably get through anything! I think as parents we do work tirelessly to raise them to shine and have the best life possible! All we want is for them to have their dreams and desires while navigating the crazy waters of growing up to have great values, confidence, love and compassion to make the world a better place! Thanks again for sharing this great affirmation meditation!
Namaste,
Stormy

Really needed that. Thank you. Namaste 🙏

Thank you so much for this, I definitely need this right now. I have a 10 yo diagnosed with anxiety who is becoming a tween. With the current lockdown due to Covid19 my child is having a very rough time of it and I often feel that I am failing as a mother. To hear your words today has helped. Namaste 🙏
