58: Stop Using This One Effective Parenting Tool On Yourself

The When/Then parenting tool (I snagged it from Amy McCready of Positive Parenting Solutions) is a total winner when it comes to getting your kiddos to cooperate.

But… Are you using this effective parenting tool on yourself?! Some of us are using it to pacify our way through life, avoid hard things, or worse, truly take care of ourselves.

When I have the money, then I’ll invest.
When I have more time, then I’ll start my business.
When I am more confident, then I’ll put myself out there.
When I hit my goals, then I’ll be happy.

I was guilty of it, too! Today, I am going to share with you how to end the When/Then cycle with yourself so that you can start enjoying your life and your business right now.

If you find yourself When/Then-ing your life away you’ll want to tune in to this episode!

In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 

  • What the When/Then parenting tool is and why we shouldn’t use it on ourselves
  • How to stop living for the next best thing, and learn to enjoy the process
  • How to stop feeling overwhelmed all the time
  • How to end the cycle of regret
  • Why practicing gratitude and self care will impact your business

It’s important to have goals, but we can’t always be looking towards, or being fearful of, the next thing.

You’ve probably heard the expression “it’s about the journey and not the destination” and in today’s episode I share an excerpt from “Close” by David White.

We talked about how to seek out joy in the closeness to what we want and to celebrate many mini wins!
