What a Parent Can Share
My first step each day is starting my day with calm.
I have an orderly routine for myself.
I have prepared for my day.
I have helped my children prepare for their day.
Together, we begin our mornings in calm.
We take our calm with us when we step out the door.
That is our contribution to the day.
When disturbing things agitate us, we choose to return to calm.
When we do not know what to do, we listen within.
We take our deep breath and let it calm us.
We do this until we feel the calm within.
Then we listen for the tiny step.
We feel Guidance through our connection to calm.
The same way we see our parent listen, we can listen.
We can take a moment to feel calm and happy.
We can walk away from a situation which agitates us.
We can choose to move into calm.
We can look up with calm radiance.
We can feel what to do and when to do it.
Our day is not run by bullies.
It is not run by stress.
We have a Power within that assures us.
We feel our complete trust in this Power.
We are surrounded by this Power throughout our day.
We bring calm into our day and have it return to us over and over.
We bring calm home with us.
