Navigating Emotions in Parenthood
With Jennifer ProkhorovEmotions are an integral and inescapable part of our human experience. And as parents, we can experience an entire spectrum of them within a very short period! Being a parent is incredibly rewarding yet challenging work. The emotions that we feel throughout the day can have an incredible impact on our own personal well-being as well as the well-being of our family. Learning to navigate those feelings and emotions skillfully with the tools of mindfulness is one of the most powerful and effective changes we can make to see home life transform into a place of calm and content. In this 10-day course, we will focus on distinguishing different emotions, as well as their effect in our bodies and their separate life from the thoughts that accompany them. We will explore the purpose of feelings, and the ways in which even challenging emotions can serve us. We’ll discover the incredible potential that lies within us to overcome cycles of thought, reactivity and behavior that have stalled our progress in the past, and learn new paths to freedom, by working with and through our emotions. I hope that together with me you will find yourself and your family more easefully navigating the gamut of emotion that comes with normal family life. Let’s do this together!
