Conscious Parenting: Emotion Accountability

Parents, are you conscious to the fact that your children are aware of your feelings, whether you verbally express them or not?

They may be unable to say everything that you are feeling, but, in most cases, they mirror and demonstrate your mood and emotions.

Have your child displayed temper tantrums and other emotional upsets? It may be helpful for you to explore your emotions to identify your own hidden emotional upsets, there is a great possibility that your child may be mirroring upsets within the parent(s) or home environment.

It helps to foster a home environment in which a healthy awareness of one's emotions is acknowledged and appropriately addressed. Reactions, such as temper tantrums, reflect misdirected and inappropriately addressed emotions.

To nurture your commitment to Conscious Parenting, incorporate healthy approaches to wellness for the whole family, such as responsible communication, wholesome nutrition, Aromatherapy and Flower Essences.


To your conscious health and wellness,

Nicole

Is Your Family Dehydrated?

Drinking water is a powerful, healing necessity that is a daily requirement! Much of society have come to overconsume coffee, tea and juice, while devaluing the importance of drinking pure water.

Water is essential to the proper growth and thriving of any life. Literally, without it, the body dies...just think, if you stop watering your plant...it dies! Our lives depend on it...all internal organs and body functioning, such as liver, heart, stomach, eyes, intestines and so on rely on water in order to function well.

Because we are all built in different sizes, the amount necessary for each individual is different. It is recommended that you consume 1/2 your body's weight in ounces, for example, if you weigh 150 pounds, 75 ounces of water is what your body requires; preferably distilled water, all of the impurities are removed through distillation. Is it recommended that you sip every 10 to 15 minutes to gradually hydrate the body.

It has been stated that 80% of society is dehydrated. Rule number one for identifying dehydration is thirst. If you are feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated.

Possible signs of dehydration include:
Allergies
Digestive issues
Dry skin
Blemishes/Skin discoloration
Dark color around the eyes
Brittle/thinning hair
Constipation
Womb challenges
Weight gain
Mood swings

The above may also indicate other challenges within the body.

"Water" with fructose and minerals in it, is not pure water. The body has to process the fructose and minerals, instead of experiencing the natural cleansing and hydrating of pure water throughout the entire body.

Benefits of appropriate water consumption include:
Removing waste and toxins from the body
Improves heart health, resulting in higher energy and circulation
Proper digestion
Assists in balancing your emotions and mental health
Promotes healthy and glowing skin
Assists in keeping the body more alkaline (disease cannot live in an alkaline body!)
Improves dental health
Increases recovery from illness

Choose drinking clean, pure water everyday a commitment within your home.
