Who am I?
This seems to be one of the questions that most people ask themselves during a lifetime. It goes together with ‘What do I really want?’ Why am I here? What is my calling? What am I supposed to do in this world? What makes me feel really fulfilled?
I believe that many women get to some kind of these questions some time after they become mothers. Some still experience their kids childhood as a very fulfilling time because they see accomplishment in being there for their children. Then these big questions come up when the kids are leaving their childhood homes.
Others already feel that something is not aligned when they are very empathetic with their children. Children seem to give them clues that there is opportunity for self-growth. Every behavior of a child that is not understood by their parents means some clue to them, I am sure of that.
Nurturing a child is a big responsibility and it’s not at all easy. Children are not seen as whole human beings in today’s society’s view. They are seen as people that need to be taught and molded to be able to ‘Somebody’.
I want to challenge this belief big time and I think that deep within us mothers, we know that this is not true. Just because of our own conditioning that we have gone through in our childhood, we don’t question is enough.
The only way to give our children the best opportunities in life is to unconditionally love them for who they are. Because they are whole human beings! They come here with a mission, just like everybody else did. It’s no coincidence you birth the children you do. They are here to teach you to be the best version of yourself. And it’s on you to take it on.
If you listen to them and their clues you are on our way to big self-growth. Your growth happens by finding out means who you really are. When you are free of all conditioning and beliefs that don’t align with your own truth, your own values, you will be able to love your child for the whole person he/she really is.
And the greatest part is that when we let our children be themselves, they will never have to ask themselves these big questions! They will never forget who they really are! They will live a life aligned with their own truth, without anybody being able to take this from them.
That’s why it’s so important for parents to know how they are. Only with unconditional love for yourself, you will be able to unconditionally love your child. If you don’t love yourself first, you’ll agree that it’s ok to love conditionally and there will always be expectations that you put on your children which makes them grow up unfree.
So, please consider to dig deep into who you really are! Do it for yourself and do it for your children.
Right now there is so much opportunity! Being stuck at home with your loved ones means that there will be misunderstandings, arguments and fights. You will be annoyed and feel unfree… Be a detective! Take every opportunity to grow from it and find out more about yourself!
Why does something bother you that doesn’t seem to bother others?
Why are you always saying certain things, like ‘be careful’ to your children, although there is no danger or they are already careful?
Why do you think your children are not respecting you? Do you respect them?
What makes you feel like a victim?
There are a million things that show up right now when we are together with our mirrors, our biggest gurus. Feel all the feelings and dig deep on where they are coming from. Where is the hurt place inside of you that your child’s behavior is triggering? It’s not your child! It’s your conditioning and you can grow out of it and live freely from all the expectations that you have taken on from your parents, society, church,…
I am very excited about all the consciousness that is coming out of the lockdown of this world.
And if you have questions about this, please get in touch! I am very passionate to share more about this topic of freedom.
Much love and gratitude, Annika <3
