get to know me more!

@funyasm​ tagged me and I’m bored after writing my chapter, so here it is!

✨ what do you prefer to be called name wise?

My name’s Sophie. My friends call me Spencou or Spence. We met on a Role-Playing game forum where I played a character named Spencer. We’re used to call each other by our characters’ names and nicknames, most of the time. My brother calls me Sis’.

✨ when is your birthday?

15th november 1993.

✨ where do you live?

Paris, France.

✨ three things you are doing right now?

I’m watching an episode of AT4W on youtube, scrolling on Tumblr and I’m drinking a coffee.

✨ four fandoms that have piqued your interest right now?

Definitely It and especially Eddie Kaspbrak and the ship Reddie. I’m kinda obsessed right now, writing fanfic, reading fanfic, daydreaming about it and all.

I just played the Last of Us 2 and I’m currently watching a let’s play from my favorite youtubers, Mari and Stacy from Geek Remix. I’ll probably read a few fics as well.

The tv show Barry (HBO) is a definite special interest for me. I’m probably going to watch it all once again real soon and I’m planning on writing a fanfic or two in the future. I’m dying for the third season to come.

Finally, I’m probably going to be super into The Umbrella Academy once again, when the second season will be released. I’m just really into Vanya, Klaus and Allison and I can’t wait to see more of them.

✨ how is the pandemic treating you?

None of the people I know have been contaminated, so I’m lucky about that. I’m not quarantined anymore, back to work, and the transition is not easy. 

I feel like I’m more openly autistic than I used to be and that I can’t stand the rest of the world for a long period of time. I’ve experienced multiple meltdowns and shutdowns and I have real difficulties to socialize with most people or to focus on my work.

I feel incredibly naked and vulnerable whenever I’m leaving my flat without my mask on, so I think that’s definitely something I’m gonna have to work on in the future.

Leaving Paris and meeting my folks for my mother’s wedding, I found myself surrounded by people who mostly didn’t care about the virus, kissing each other on the cheek in true french fashion to say hello, hugging, not wearing a mask, not respecting any kind of social distance. 

I was quickly overwhelmed by all of that, plus the noise, and I had to isolate myself in my parents’ car, sobbing hysterically and willing to suffer in a overheated car if it meant having a bit of peace.

There are definitely going to be long-term consequences. I can only hope that my physical health will remain okay, though.

✨ song you can’t stop listening right now?

Keep On by Sasha Sloan. I just really love the lyrics and the message.

✨ recommend a movie.

Whenever I have to think of a movie to recommend, Frank by Lenny Abrahamson is the first one that comes to my mind. This movie is an obsession for me since the first time I watched it and I often find myself watching it again and again. Despite its heavy subjects, it’s definitely a comfort movie for me.

Too often, movies featuring mentally ill characters will aim for the characters to “get better”, which doesn’t mean for them to find healthy ways to cope with their issues, but usually for them to look more “neurotypical-like”, if you know what I mean. Frank  doesn’t go that way at all. On the contrary, it pushes the viewer to empathize with the main characters and to understand their point of view, their way of being.

It’s so incredibly comforting to watch a movie featuring mental illness realistic and not romanticized and to have the movie say “you’re different and you have issues, but you’ll find your tribe someday and be able to find your own happiness, even if it’s unconventional by society’s standards”.

I don’t know, I just have so much feelings about this movie. Plus the music slaps, the humor is hilarious (kudos to the random French guy who can perfectly understand English but refuses to utter a single word if it’s not in French) and the actors are truly on point (I can only salute Domnhall Gleeson, among everyone else who is also worthy of praise, because he definitely managed to make me hate his character in a way I almost never hated a character before).

Watch it!

✨ how old are you?

I’m 26 years old.

✨ school, university, occupation, other?

I used to be a librarian, but I couldn’t find a stable job in this field, so I passed an entrance examination and I’m now working in the tax administration. Yeah, not really glamorous, but it pays the bills and I’m accommodated for my disability, so it helps. 

✨ do you prefer hot or cold?

Definitely cold. When I was a kid, I used to swim in mountain lakes, at temperatures close to 13° celsius, and I still take my showers mostly cold. I can’t stand heat, I get headaches very easily when it’s sunny and I’m getting confused easily whenever it’s too hot. I recently had a nosebleed at work so intense that I found myself spitting blood (it went better once I got a fan, making the temperature bearable).

✨ name one fact others may not know about you.

I used to be allergic to my own sweat when I was around 18, until my early twenties. Whenever I was doing a mild physical effort or getting stressed out, I would get hives and itchy skin rash all over my whole freaking body, which was so exhausting that I would fall asleep immediately as soon as the rash was gone. 

It disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, without me ever doing something about it. I still don’t know why I experienced that and if I’m going to experience that ever again. I hope not.

✨ are you shy?

My autism makes social interactions complicated, but I’d say I’m mostly impaired by my social anxiety and the various traumas I’m dealing with daily.

Traumas I got after having been bullied pretty badly by kids and teachers during my school years, my stepfather being borderline abusive and different traumatic experiences, including my childhood crush dying from a ski accident when I was 15 or so (and me never being able to tell him that I loved him) and people betraying me so many times that I can’t even recall every little thing.

As a result, I find myself doubting constantly that I’m worthy of love, affection and respect and I often wonder when I’ll do or say the “wrong” thing that will cause me to lose everyone I care about. I also have a hard time knowing who I am and, as a result, allowing everyone to know who I am as well. 

I often don’t know what to say and will find myself keeping my mouth shut, even on topics I’m knowledgeable about, because I’m scared of people shutting me down, among other things. My friends make it easier for me to talk about things I like and all, but I’m still heavily doubting myself.

I try to challenge myself regularly. I’ll force myself to take part in events that are taxing or that are forcing me to perform in front of people. That’s how I found myself taking part in the casting part of the french equivalent of “American Idol” (I merely met the pre-judges, but I did manage to sing my whole song in front of them). I needed to prove to myself that I could do it.

✨ do you have any preferred pronouns?

I’m using she/her, but I don’t mind people using they/them to talk about me if they don’t want to be gender-specific.

✨ any pet peeves?

I hate how people can freely and openly be homophobic, racist, ableist, transphobic, sexist and so on, but as soon as I open my mouth to let them know that what they said/did wasn’t appropriate, I’m labelled as one of those “hysterical feminists” or a “party pooper”. s/ Sorry if your antisemitic joke isn’t making me laugh, my “dear” colleague... /s I hate whenever people infantilize me, especially my mom. She’s still keeping an eye on my bank account, despite me telling her that I didn’t want her to do so again and again. I don’t dare to block her out, because I’m scared of her emotional reaction.  I hate the ugliest parts of fandom, notably the obsession with “who’s topping / who’s bottoming” whenever there’s a gay pairing or the racism / ableism / transphobia / homophobia I’ve witnessed again and again.

I don’t dare to engage in the Last of Us 2 fandom because of that and the way some people describe the character of Abby (a very muscular woman), focusing on her physical appearance and calling her awful names (being downright transphobic when they thought that she was the transgender character that Naughty Dog announced there would be in their game). 

✨ what’s your favorite “dere” type?

I had to google it, because aside from Yandere and Tsundere, I didn’t know a thing about it. I guess you could say I’m a Dandere (someone who is quiet and asocial. They are afraid to talk, fearing that what they say will get them in trouble.). 

My favorite type is Kuudere though, when it comes to anime in particular (someone who is calm and collected on the outside, and never panics. They show little emotion, and in extreme cases are completely emotionless, but may be hiding their true emotions. They tend to be leaders who are always in charge of a situation.). 

My favorite anime character, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji from the anime Classroom of the elite, is the most extreme case I can think about. He’s completely expressionless for most of the anime, talks with a very dull voice and it’s impossible to know what he’s thinking about at all times or what’s his overall plan. His hidden depth makes him all the more fascinating. He managed to keep me interested in a mostly meh anime.

✨ rate your life 1-10. 1 being really crappy and 10 being the best you could ever be.

It’s a bit hard, but somewhere around 5 or 6? I went through tons of crap in my life but I’m still here and able to live on my own, even if my quality of life isn’t all that good. I live with nearly daily suicidal thoughts since I was a teenager and have to compose with my meltdowns and anxiety attacks as well. I feel “other” most of the time and I can’t relate to most people I’m meeting and interacting with, which can sometimes feel very lonely.

On the other hand, I have wonderful friends who are willing to put up with my trauma crap and are overall amazing to talk to and be around. I have a cat I love dearly. They’re the reason why I’m still alive to this day, giving me a reason to say fuck off to my suicidal thoughts. 

✨ what’s your main blog?

My main blog is Ladyautie and is about autism. I have another blog, reddie-4-more, focusing on the It movies and Eddie Kaspbrak and Richie Tozier.

✨ is there anything you think people need to know about you before becoming friends with you?

So, uh, don’t be weirded out by the kind of things I can tell you about my past. Even if it seems a lot, all of it is definitely true. 

For example, I was almost kidnapped when I was around 8 or 9 by a random guy, while I was camping with my father. 

My father and my paternal grandmother actually kidnapped me and my brother when I was around two and I stayed with him until the social workers determined that my mother had to raise us again because our well-being and overall life were threatened. 

Lots of events of my life seem far-fetched or out of a movie / a book or something and I had people telling me that I must be lying or that I’m over-exaggerating, something that always hurts deeply.

I’m terribly awkward and more or less openly autistic, so you’re definitely going to notice something different about me. I can’t change for you and I’m not willing to hide my traits only to make you feel more comfortable about frequenting me, so if you can’t handle my socially anxious and disabled ass, then just leave.

I need people to actually tell me what they think or feel. I’m very “first degree” and I’m pretty bad at guessing what people are thinking about. Don’t be afraid to be frank.

Finally, never, and I mean never, infantilize me. I’m a 26 years old woman. I’m not a kid.I’m fine with my friends offering to help or making sure that I’m okay or so, but never assume that I don’t understand something and don’t force your help on me if I say that I’m okay.

That’s it, those who want to take part in this exercise, don’t hesitate!

Richie’s stand-up post coming out part 2:

How did I meet my boyfriend you may ask? We were childhood friends. Yeah, I hold for 'awes' and applause sometimes, but I guess I'm the only one who thinks that's cute. Now I get applause. Thank you. Is it weird being a comedian and having to ask for applause? Yes. But netflix has a little sensor up there, and every time there's a lull in laughs for too long, I get shocked like an electric dog collar. 

Now my boyfriend, we’re getting back to that story. We met when we were 5. Relatively recently we met up again with a bunch of other childhood friends and reenacted Killer Klowns from Outer Space 2. Not a very good guide for how to kill alien clowns we learned, but that's a story for another time. 

Rolling up to the restaurant, I’m chill. Like, we’re all 40, probably balding, there are no expectations. I walk in, and all my friends have gotten hot. You guys ever see a picture of that architect Ben Hanscom. Well he's sure is hanscom. Before you boo me for that one, google a picture of him. Now you can't be mad at him for building that ugly communications tower. 

See, he grew up hot. I however, have not grown up at all. I'm 6'1 but I'm still a manchild. Where they’re all sitting pretty, I walk in, same clothes I've worn since I was 13. Same glasses too. Yeah, I was a looker. There was no need to change this, hot from birth. Get a load of these neutral tones that are still clashing colors. The gay thing is that I know these words. The sad thing is that they do not affect the way I dress at all. 

But you know who didn’t judge me for my appearance, just everything else wrong with me? A short little man in the world’s ugliest polo shirt. I saw him dressed in his only pair of jeans and thought: this is the man for me. 

He was a whole lot of hot stuff wrapped in an ugly package. By that I mean the clothes. The hot stuff is how weirdly ripped he is, not like his personality or anything weird like that. Now we’re fucking. Ugly packages coming off so I can get come on.

To go over it, a year and a half ago, I re-met the love of my life, saw some other friend, not really important to the story other than to remind you that I have friends. Killed a clown from outer space. Learned a few lessons, the best way to kill a clown is actually to bully it. Just shout "You're a clown" until it gets really sad and you can crush its heart. I learned that move from being heckled my whole career. I would like to thank my haters as my motivators and for teaching me how to kill it. 

Now, I said a year and a half ago. I see some of you trying to piece together the mental math. If you need, there are a paper and pencil conveniently placed under your seat. But yes, this was about the time when I mysteriously disappeared. Well, first I bombed a show, then I disappeared. 

So, show of hands: who thought I was on a wild cocaine fueled bender? Decent crowd, decent crowd. Now again, after this story, who thinks I'm still on that bender? Well unfortunately I am not. Coke’s expensive. I do not make enough money to go on a bender like that. Which is why I let big business put a dog collar on me and shock me. It is not a bedroom thing. I'm 41, and I have back pains. I was hoping this might work like a tens machine? It doesn't. 

and I'm scared of chiropractors. They're so muscular, right. Yeah, so now I'm stuck wondering how I’m gonna back after getting it blown out every night. 

That's right! I may be old, ugly, a man child, and too broke for coke, but at least I'm getting some. Sex I mean, not coke.

if you have a long car/train/airplane ride ahead of you for the holidays

here are a list of underrated musicals that you should listen to

dog fight - you guys. fucking amazing. it’s about a bunch of boys on their last night before heading to Vietnam and they hold a competition where they see who can ask the ugliest girl out. it sounds awful, i know, but trust me, worth a listen

the last five years - it has only two characters, one is going back in time and the other is going forwards. it’s all about how even relationships that seem perfect can become toxic. if this didn’t convince you, how ab the fact that it’s Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan?

next to normal - this won a couple tonys and the pulitzer prize, but it still gets swept under the rug. it’s about a dysfunctional family, the mother has serious bipolar and hallucinates that their dead son is still alive. get the tissues out tho.

spring awakening - again, this was pretty popular but i feel like it still gets swept under the rug. the music is so beautiful, you will probably die on the spot (i did). it’s about a bunch of german christian teenagers having their sexual awakening with no information. i would especially reccomend to ages 14-17 bc i feel its particularity relatable to those ages

big fish - if you haven’t watched this movie, shame on you, it’s the best movie ever. if you have, you’ll probably be over the moon that there’s a musical based on it. if you haven’t seen the movie, it’s ab a relationship between a distant father who is almost what you’d call a compulsive liar and his son who’s about to have his own son. it’s amazing.

assassins - this is a sondheim musical, and how else can you describe it? (if you don’t know who sondheim is i’m not even going to bother explaining. i am peRSONNALLY disappointed in you and your family.) (also, if you think you don’t, you do. just google him. you know who he is. you’re gonna be like “oh yeah that guy!” everyone knows sondheim.) it’s about all the people in history who have tried to assassinate the president. i would reccomend the 2004 revival (red/orange/red cover, not blue with stars). it’s just better imo

avenue q - if i could describe this musical in one sentence, i would say “depressed sesame street on cocaine” and if that’s not enough to get you interested, i don’t know what to say. it’s a fantastic insight on growing up (after college) in the modern world.

jersey boys - ahhhHHHHhhhHHH if you’re a fan of classic rock, this is a MUST. this is a musical all ab frankie callie and the four seasons. i swear to god some of their covers you will not be able to tell from the original.

legally blonde - i feel like no one knows it’s a musical. (again, i have to say, if you don’t know the movie, shame on you. and i mean it even more this time.) the musical is fantastic. every fucking song is a bop.

something rotten - doesn’t get nearly enough attention for how fucking amazing it is. it is shit your pants funny AND has christian borle in it. i don’t know what else you could ask for. it’s about people writing the first ever musical. they end up writing it about an omelette, spoiler alert. why do they do this? guess you’ll have to listen to it to find out. also, i saw this og cast on broadway and it was the first show i ever saw on broadway so it has a special place in my heart

rodgers & hammerstien’s cinderella - sounds boring, i know, but the music is so good. honestly. you gotta trust me on this. if you don’t know the plot of cinderella, i mean. my dude.

side show - ok, ok, if you’ve listened to it before, you’re probably thinking “wait... what??” and i’ll admit, there are quite a few skipable songs on this soundtrack, but the ones that are good are GOOD. they are GOOD. it’s about two (real) siamese twins in the 1930s who became really famous and then kinda lost it.

joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat - fifty percent of you are thinking one thing and the other fifty percent is thinking another, i know it. group one is “what the actual motherassbitch is that title w h a t t h e f u c k” and the other group is “why would someone recommend to tumblr.com a musical based on the bible?” well, it is based on the bible and has religious connotations, and if you’re not into that, 100% respect. but if you’re interested or don’t care, jospeh is a beautiful show that manages to be funny but make you reflect on yourself as well.

seussical - if you ever read dr seuss as a kid, then this will make you cry. it takes all of dr. seuss’ books and kinda mashes them all into one story.

25th annual putnam county spelling bee - this show.... is weird. you gotta prepare yourself for weird otherwise you won’t like it. but it’s so good, and i guarantee you will laugh and cry during the course of listening to it and you will find at least one of the characters so relatable that you’re sure the author wrote it about your life. also, this show is really cool bc if you see it live, it requires audience participation in the bee. it’s fucking awesome to see live.

uhhhhh ok that’s all i got for now but PLEASE add some more i gotta get my underrated musical fill

The dogs of St. Petersburg

(a sequel of sorts to this headcanon)

St. Petersburg is more crowded than Hasetsu. Even at nine in the morning, when the work rush should have been over, Yuuri can hear the low rumble of passing trucks, the occasional sharp honk, even up in Victor’s spacious penthouse apartment.

Last night, he’d been exhausted from the long trip and confused by his new surroundings. Victor had greeted him enthusiastically, affectionately...and like he was made of spun glass, liable to break at any moment. He’d made a big show of all the space he’d made for Yuuri’s things, an even bigger show of asking him if he wanted to sleep in the spare bedroom--as if they could even sleep in separate beds any more. Yuuri had yawned once, and he’d immediately pushed him to go to bed.

Yuuri still hadn’t been able to fall asleep, the occasional car horn or shout on the street waking him up every time he began to lapse into dreams. Victor told him that the sound of traffic outside will eventually become comforting, but Yuuri is still jet-lagged and culture-shocked. Most of his stuff is still in boxes, and the rest of it is heaped on the couch--“it’s okay, Yuuri,” Victor says, even though the place was clean when they arrived, “don’t let it bother you, take your time!”

Yuuri is in a strange place and his fiancé is acting strangely. He sighs.

“Hey Yuuri,” Victor calls from the front door. “I don’t want to rush you, but if we don’t leave soon, we’re going to be late!”

Since when does Victor not want to rush Yuuri? Yuuri’s nose wrinkles. “I thought we still had forty minutes. Isn’t the rink something like five minutes away?”

“It takes a while to get there,” Victor insists. “It’s not as close as it looks in Google Maps.”

“Apple Maps,” Yuuri corrects.

“There’s your problem,” Victor says cheerfully. “Apple Maps is crap in Russia. Definitely don’t use it.”

Yuuri’s glad to be here. He wants to share Victor’s life in St. Petersburg. Victor never complained about how different things were in Hasetsu--not once--and Yuuri wants to return the favor. But everything is different. The water tastes weird. The seagulls have a harsh accent. It is so cold that he wants to die. Apple Maps doesn’t work. 

And his fiancé is acting like he’ll break at any moment.

Yuuri shoves these complaints aside. It’ll all work out. He’ll get used to it. Victor will get used to it. It’ll be fine. It was definitely not a mistake to move halfway around the world.

Ten minutes later, Yuuri’s donned trackpants, gloves, a heavy coat, and has somehow managed to find the box with green tea amongst his unsorted rubble in the living room. The hot water isn’t quite hot enough, but it’ll do.

He and Victor shoulder their gear and trudge down the stairs.

It’s Yuuri’s first time seeing St. Petersburg in sunlight, and it’s almost blinding. It’s a lot more crowded than Hasetsu. The sidewalk is filled with people; cars idle in front of them, waiting on a traffic signal up ahead. To the left, there’s a cathedral. To the right...

“Wait,” Yuuri says, “isn’t that the rink right there? Two blocks away?”

“Yeah, it’s farther away than it looks,” Victor says.

Yuuri is trying to figure out if he’s lost all sense of depth perception--maybe he really is that jet lagged? Maybe his notion of proportion is skewed by the Russian latitude?--when Victor stops.

“Purga!” he says to the Samoyed that is about to cross their path. “It’s been so long!”

“Ah, you’re back, Mr. Nikiforov,” says Purga’s owner.

Victor tugs the sleeve of Yuuri’s coat. “Yuuri,” he says, “this is Purga! I’ve known her since she was a puppy. She’s seven years old, looking quite young for her age, don’t you think? Purga, this is Yuuri Katsuki, my fiancé.”

It’s a good thing that Yuuri has studied Russian introductions. “Uh, hi.” Yuuri waves at the dog.

Purga is a giant ball of white fluff tipped with triangle ears and a giant pink tongue. Yuuri is pretty sure she’s laughing at him. 

It turns out that it takes Victor Nikiforov twenty minutes to traverse two city blocks, and it’s all because of the dogs. He greets the dogs he recognizes by name--Zorkij, Lovkij, Buben, Azhur--and demands the names of the dogs he doesn’t know.

“Who is this?” he says just outside the rink. The elderly lady is holding a leash attached to what is possibly a ball of angry mange, or possibly the homeliest dog in the entirety of all Russia. One ear is tattered; his fur is patchy at best. A single canine pokes out from a drooping lip, and spittle gathers at the edge of the dog’s mouth. The dog fixes asymmetric, red eyes on Yuuri and lets off a low growl.

“Oh, this is my little Groznyi,” the woman responds. “He’s a rescue,” she adds, unnecessarily.

Victor bends down and gives Groznyi a gentle rub down his snout. Groznyi’s eyes slit shut, and when Victor rubs his haunch, his back leg kicks involuntarily.

“Groznyi! What a cutie!” Victor exclaims. “You’re a very good dog, Groznyi!”

Yuuri waits until they’re a few paces away. “You know,” he mutters, “if you call all the dogs cute, it doesn’t mean anything.”

Victor looks shocked. “Yuuri. They are all cute.”

“Groznyi is the ugliest dog I have--”

Victor gasps and claps a hand over Yuuri’s mouth. “Yuuri!” Yuuri hasn’t seen that disappointed a look in Victor’s eyes since he snubbed Minami last September. “Dogs have excellent auditory capabilities. What if Groznyi overheard you?”

Yuuri shakes his head. “Victor, I was speaking English.”

“He’s an old dog,” Victor says. “You never know what languages he might understand.” Victor folds his arms across his chest. He looks hurt, disappointed, and upset. They really are going to be late at this rate.

Yuuri looks up into his fiancé’s eyes. For the first moment since he’s arrived, he doesn’t feel homesick anymore. He’s wondered how to get Victor to stop walking on eggshells around him. Apparently, insulting a dog--any dog--will do it. This giant dork is precisely why he came to St. Petersburg.

“You’re right,” Yuuri says. “I’m sorry.”

Victor just continues to look at him.

“I’ll apologize to him when I see him tomorrow,” Yuuri says. “Do you think we should get Groznyi a sweater? He must be cold, with his fur...um...”

Victor breaks into a smile. “That’s an excellent idea!”

Victor takes Yuuri’s arm, and together they head into the rink.

How to live a healthy and disease free life - II

How to live a healthy and disease free life - II

Hello, friends, As I have discussed and described my experimentation and results I have got due to my exploration and experiments in quest of healthy and happy living in my previous post How to live a healthy and disease free life – I. The concluding part of the post is here to make you more aware and informed about your own health, body, and mind.  Our Life is a journey to explore, experiment, experience, learn and correct our mistakes As I have mentioned in my previous post and analysis I have done about my health status, through various health checkups in the last three years. We can always learn from our mistakes and of others and grow better always.  I have spent About INR 70,000.00 just to ensure what is going inside my body, and what is the health status of all my internal organs and health-related different measures and parameters concerned to them.  I don’t have any health problem from then to now, or before in the last 37 years. (Excluding a few events mentioned in this real and interesting story ahead). But through my diagnostic reports and checkups, I have discovered many shocking facts about my own body and nutrients level and some other factors.   

You must know the status of your health, get health checkups of your body You cannot know about your inner body status and the condition of your internal vital organs from outside. Your lives major health issues depend on these status and specific conditions. And you can learn it only by taking regular health checkups, there is no other way to know it. I was always so conscious and alert about my health (excluding few events and activities I have done in my life due to my ignorance and unawareness towards their impact on my body and mind in long run) and did every possible thing to keep me alive, healthy and fit. Everyone makes mistakes so I have made a lot earlier as well and I have paid for it well, but awaken early and changed my attitudes and habits timely, so I am safe and sound now. Consciousness is the key to live healthy and happy always You can overcome from any of your habits and wrongs you have done to yourself under any influence, associations if you are conscious and aware of it. You can change anything in your life, If you take care of it timely, sincerely and very honestly. It takes a lot of time and patience to recover, and sometimes it has left some signs and impact of it on your body and mind, which stays longer with you, don’t worry just carry on ahead and do not do it again.   It is a very strange phenomenon that you may be conscious and unconscious both at once, regarding many things about yourselves and people, facts and truths in your life and environment. You can see it through this example – people are so much affectionate and caring about their own pets, i.e. dogs, cats, birds but at the same time they are killing and eating other animals, like pork, cow, goats, sheep, cocks, turkey,  buffaloes and all kind of others and sea animals. This is the proof and truth about all of us, you are aware and conscious of some things and a lot unaware and unconscious about a lot of things at the same time.

It’s strange that you are kind and human to someone and some things and unkind and utterly inhumane to many others at the same time due to your unconsciousness and blindness towards other things and matters.   The difference between a miserable person and a blissful wise man is the degree of awareness and level of consciousness they have. It makes someone Buddha and someone the ugliest beast on this earth, what would you like to be, the choice is always yours. Our pattern of conscious living and thinking is the cause of all the blissful and healthy state of our body and mind and its absence creates pain and suffering in our life. The purpose of life is to become more sincere, aware and conscious about yourselves and everything connected to you in your life and environment.  The Events in My life I have Taken Health treatments in the last 37 years In last 37 years of my life, I never visited doctors or taken any medicines for any sickness, excluding a few incidents, they are as -  7 years ago I had an operation for my appendicitis removal, it was sudden, and unexpectedly happened. Another event was, I went to an eye specialist due to my eyesight degeneration, it has been caused by due to my age and more to my extensive exposure to computer screens for very long hours, I have been working with computers for last 23 years at least 8 hours a day. Last was, I went to a dentist to remove one of my rotten teeth at the same year, it was happened due to my habit of chewing betel leaves (people of India know what it is) from childhood and smoking for last many years.

Unhealthy habits and routines cause all kind of diseases and harms to your body mind  These are the only events in my life when I went to get any treatment or medicines for my health problems. All these events happened in my life due to some of my unhealthy habits and unconscious lifestyle in that period of my life. Other minor cough and colds I have managed through my kitchens spices and herbs. My early graying of hairs was caused by my habit of smoking for long years and eating nutrient deficient foods. It has happened due to that I have been living for more than the last 20 years alone and away from my home. It caused me this problem, you are not getting sufficiently nutritional food outside as you are eating when you are at home and cooked by your mothers, sisters, and wives. It was the reason I have some nutrient deficiencies in my test reports taken in the last 3 years. You are getting wholesome food at your homes, the traditional natural food prepared at your home is best for your health. Here, I am talking about homes where healthy and nutritional cooking and eating is the priority in serving dishes to all the family members and the guests. My mother is the best cook, you can read about it here.

What you have to keep in mind before eating or buying junk? We all have habits of eating outside, at the restaurants, fast food junctions, from street side spicy food vendors. One thing you must remember that the food you eat outside is highly processed, not fresh most of the time and not hygienic and nutritious. Most of the times it is highly toxic and without any nutritional value, due to high processing and heating and frying many times, it turns them dead and nutritionless as pure junk. You must search, inquire by yourselves on Google or check food packets before buying anything you eat or serving it to your family and friends. You must check before to eat drink and consume any food products and other food ingredients purchased from the market or online. You must not consume them without knowing about their good and bad effects on your health, body, and mind, why you would buy diseases and health problems by paying for unhealthy and junk foods. If you are doing it knowingly and willingly, then you need serious psychic and medical treatment.  You must not consume them at any cost if they are unhealthy and containing or made from material and ingredients, which made them toxic and harmful for your consumption. You must not be the slaves of your taste buds, it will lead you towards very serious health problems and deadly incurable diseases.

Your ignorance and negligence cost you a lot in the long run It is unfortunate and sad that people of the world know everything about all the harmful packaged, branded and processed foods, drinks available in the market. They are consuming it blindly, unconsciously and paying thousands of bucks on health treatments, drugs, and hospitals after getting sick from their consumption. I feel very strange by seeing how idiot and blind people are? They are purchasing diseases and all kind of physical and mental problems by eating an enormous amount of junk and making themselves slave of their taste buds and suffer a lot in an unimaginable way.

Food Manufacturers and Vendors Selling it for their Profits, not for your health The hotel, Restaurants and food vendors not caring about your health and nutrition level of the foods they are selling. Their ultimate motive is to sell as much they can and how can they make you visit more and more to consume the rubbish they are selling in the name of the delicious food, to make more profits. It is true in the case of 95% of them, especially with so-called big brands. They are glamorizing their foods with attractive commercials and to make people addict to consume more their highly toxic and processed food, drinks. They are using utterly harmful chemicals and ingredients which seduce you and make you slave of their products. Foods sold by International Food Chains and Junk Food Parlors is highly toxic and dangerous for health.  The internet is filled with the medical experts report on all the multinational brands and products they sell, the process, the ingredients they are using to make these so-called famous foods. They are exposed, their conspiracy of making people addicted to their products. They are selling the worst things to the ignorant blind people who are slaves of their taste buds and ignoring the truth about these companies, sick and criminal agenda.  These foods and drinks are responsible for so many horrible and most critical physical and mental disorders to the kids, youngsters, and people of all age group. They are playing with innocent people lives to make more profits. They are using chemical, colors, pesticides, preservatives and other additives to make it more attractive, tasty and to increase their shelf life. And people are so idiot and blind, they are going these food chains and consuming most harmful things sold in fancy names.   All your Junk foods, cold drinks, (Pizza, Burger, Hot dogs, fries, shakes, pies, cakes etc. most of the packaged and processed foods, juices, carbonated beverages, and so-called healthy drinks) are highly toxic and have nothing good in them from the nutritional and health point of view.

What you need to Do in this regard and what I am doing? You must prefer to eat organic, natural, unprocessed healthy and nutritional foods, as nuts, dry fruits, and fruits, sprouts, unpacked fresh juices, and homemade dishes prepared by you, or your mothers, sisters, and wives. Eat fermented foods like Dosa-Idli, Dhokla, and healthy foods like Upma, oatmeal. And it is normal for your ladies at homes, they cook very healthy and tasty traditional food at home, with taste and health. Now I have learned a lot and making my meals full of nutrients and nourishing. I have taken care as much I can of myself, I avoided eating outside, as much I can, I never liked eating deep fried foods, snacks, and any kind of junk and stupid unhealthy cold drinks(Cola, Pepsi and other popular among stupid youngsters and all age people). I have eaten veg pizza 2 times, veg burger 3 times, and cold drinks a few more times in the last 37 years. I always preferred to eat at home, even when I went to any party, I went there after eating food at home. Ha ha ha ha, my mother always feels very strange and laughed louder due to my habits and activities.  I am cooking for myself for the last 7 years. And try to get all nutrients and essential elements I can include in my daily diet, I am vegan for the last 4 years and vegetarian throughout my life. I am not consuming white sugar for last 4 years, replaced it with organic jaggery(Gud), I was eating it only with my green teas, organic coffee, I do not eat sweets of any kind excluding jaggery and organic honey with my hot drinks. I have not eaten anything outside in the last three and a half years and even before I ate rarely outside., I always preferred to eat at home and good food. I drink only RO/purified water, I increased the intake of green vegetables, fruits, and nuts in my daily diet. For the last 42 months, my daily food costs me around 15000-20000/PM, I will tell you in detail in my other post. It is always better to spend on good food and healthy habits than hospital bills, expensive medicines, and health treatments. I never want to live on medicines and visit hospitals. Do good to yourself. 

How can you prevent you from these threats? Diseases and sickness not formed in one day in your body and mind, they took a long course as per immunity and strength and resistance your body and mind have against all the diseases. But their symptoms and indications may be visible and you get hints from time to time from your body and organs. If you are aware and conscious of these signals and symptoms appearing and surfacing on your body and mind. You can do something to prevent and cure and save yourselves from deadly diseases and potential physical, mental financial damages or loss of life in a very unfortunate way. From the last 3 and half years, I have changed my total eating, living habits, associations and job I was doing. I eat only certified organic foods (grains, oils, nuts, spices) as much as possible as per availability in my city, or I am buying them online. Fruits and vegetables are not available organic in my city, but I prefer to buy them from local farmers who do not use much chemicals and pesticides to produce them. Do exercises, eat only as you need to live healthy and energetic. Eat only nutritious and healthy food, fresh and light. 

How do you know about your Healthy or Disease status? First, this is to take routine health checkups half-yearly, monthly, annually as per your health status and requirement. I have taken health check-up of 70000 INR in the last 3 years from India’s top Pathology and health diagnostics lab, like Thyrocare, Dr. Lal Pathlabs, and Metropolis, look what is available near you. You can book tests online; most of the good Diagnostic Labs have their collections centers and franchise in all 2 and 3 tier cities also. You can get information about them from their website or can know it by calling them to their toll-free numbers.   What can the right food bring to your life and health status? We are made of what we are eating all the time, from cradle to grave. Our food constructs and constitutes all our emotions, thoughts, activities and intentions. So it is the most important thing in our life that what we are eating all the time. Our wisest ancestors, Sages and Enlightened masters taught us to eat better and pure to live and attain a higher level of consciousness and blissful experience of higher planes of our existence. There is one oldest saying in this regard “JAISA KHAVE ANNA, WAISA HOVE MAN” (It includes everything you consume in form of food, thoughts, and information) it means, WHAT YOU FED TO YOURSELF, CREATES YOUR REALITY. They have segmented it into the three categories as SATVIK, RAJASIK, and TAMASIK, and highly insisted that the quality and quantity of food create your reality and level of experiences you can have in your life. Whatever you eat and consume in the form of food, thought and information creates your reality. Your body and mind, are the output of what you fed to yourselves all the time. So be aware and conscious about it, if you consume junk and rubbish, you will be that as a result of it. All your junk comes in the category of TAMASIK, it creates, addiction, lethargy, laziness, obesity, and sickness.

I prefer to eat 75% SATVIK and 25% RAJASIK foods to keep me alert, wise, active and free from the impact of TAMASIK foods,  mindsets and activities. I purchased all the food, grains, spices online from many online stores and other organic foods manufacturers and suppliers. One of my friend from Bhilai has opened an organic food store at Raipur and Bhilai, if you live here in these two cities, you can buy it from them, The Need Organic Store. And this has changed my perception and living pattern, way to see things and I have started working in a totally new area of Blogging about conscious and healthy living and Web Designing. Food has a magical contribution to your physical and mental health and growing consciously, spiritually. Our sages and spiritual masters highly recommended different kinds of foods to create a different level of consciousness and life experiences. They have recommended and prescribed a different variety of foods for the people of different level of mental and physical and spiritual activities and it has a very developed science in ancient times. You can also see its implications by applying and eating a different kind of foods and their impact on your body-mind and spiritual growth and level of consciousness.  Maybe you are looking and showing from outside good, without knowing what you are doing to yourselves and your precious body-mind by pouring all kind of shit on it round the clock, check this out.  Live consciously and stay Healthy, Happy and Blessed.

High Vibrational Parenting Tips

It’s time to talk about parenting! Over the years, I’ve been asked questions about parenting many, many times. I’ve happily coached quite a few parents with awesome results. In fact, parents are one of my favorite groups of people to work with. But I’ve never done a blog post of video purely on parenting. Who knew?!

I mean, what are you supposed to do when your bundle of joy makes you want to tear your hair out? How can you remain Zen when they won’t go to bed, refuse to eat their veggies, and throw tantrums at the worst possible moments?

Well, it’s time to remedy this oversight. So, here is everything I know about parenting. Ok, maybe not everything. But definitely enough to get you started. Once you’ve watched the video below, feel free to share any questions which I didn’t answer, but which you’d like me to in a future video, in the comments.

Coaching Call #298 Is out today! The topic of this week’s call is – Why Isn’t He Attracting Coaching Clients?

This caller runs a coaching practice and he’s recently launched a coaching program to further support people in their growth, but, to date, no-one has signed up to work with him. He has a real passion for coaching and the feedback he’s gotten from previous clients is that he’s good at what he does, and that their lives have changed after working with him.

If he’s passionate about what he does, and his previous clients are happy, what’s going on with his energy that’s blocking new clients from wanting to work with him? What is his limiting belief and how does he release it? Once released, what can he focus on so he’ll attract clients who are eager to sign up with him?

This call is for you if you’re a business owner and you love what you do, but you’re not attracting the clients/customers you want to your business.

Transcript

Today, we’re going to tackle a really, really big topic, and one that’s been requested many, many, many times. That is the topic of Parenting. So, I’m going to give you a tiny little disclaimer before we start: I personally do not actually have children, in the traditional sense. I don’t have little kids running around, nor squeezed them out of my hoo-ha. But I am quite paternal and have mentored many people. And, that energy has come through in many ways. And, of course, I have coached quite a few parents. I really enjoy coaching parents, by the way, because usually, the payoff is so quick and so powerful. Because, when you shift your energy, your kids will mirror that crap back to you so fast. They will mirror back your crap, but they will mirror back the shift as well, just as easily. They are instantaneous, and it’s amazing. Kids and dogs, by the way. Yeah? Take that as you like it!

And so, before you get into the comments section and go “Well, what do you know? You don’t know anything about parenting, because you’re not a parent.” I’m going to tell you the same thing that I say to anybody who wants to say anything about one of my videos, if it hits a little bit of a nerve. And, parenting is not a volatile issue at all. Right?! A non-parent telling other parents how to raise their kids. There’s no danger in that at all! Haha. But, here’s what I say to that: Take the bits that resonate with you, that make sense for you, that you think are going to help you, and leave the rest. If I say something that you don’t agree with, just leave it; disregard it. That wasn’t for you. Yeah? If you’re watching this video, there’s probably some kind of manifestation in there. Well, there’s definitely a manifestation for you, but, hopefully a helpful one. Or, maybe, it’s just here to piss you off. But, in any case, it is your responsibility to sort out what that means to you, and why you’ve manifested it.

So, now that we’ve gotten that little disclaimer out of the way, I will give you what I have learnt about parenting, and what I have learnt from working with parents, and what I have paid attention to as it came through me, as I am the delivery mechanism for the wisdom of a person’s higher-self.

Being a 5D parent

The first thing I want to talk about is a really general mindset, and then we’ll get into more concrete things. But a real general mindset, which is that, if you want to be an awake parent, if you want to be a conscious parent, if you want to be a 5D, a fifth dimensional parent (let’s call it that), you have to deal with your own shit. You have to deal with your own shit! You have to understand that what your kids are mirroring back to you, what you’re experiencing of them, your experience is your manifestation. It is your manifestation. You are not forcing your kids to be little dicks, because they can be, let’s be really honest about that. So, when they’re getting on your last nerve, you’re not forcing them to do that. That’s not your manifestation, but your experience of it is your manifestation.

So, if your last nerve is about to blow up, it is up to you to figure out, “Why does that upset me so much? And, what about that upsets me? And when else have I felt this?” Go through that whole process, because it is about you cleaning up your own energy, and not, sort of, carrying out your own vibrational work on their backs, so to speak. Yeah? Which, I’m sure, your parents did to you, and their parents did to them. But, we’re going to break this cycle, that’s why I’m making this video. Yeah?

Teach your kids, don’t punish them

And so, there’s a few concepts on how to do that. I’m going to use some language here that isn’t mine, so that it’s easier to, sort of, integrate. And, you can Google it, and you can find lots of information on it. First, you want to stay away from the idea of punishment and discipline. That is one really huge thing, one huge mindset to adopt: It isn’t about punishment or discipline. Punishment comes from a place of “I am the authority, and you respect my authority. And, if you don’t respect my authority, if you don’t do what I want you to do, I will punish you.” You might think that you’re teaching your kids real world consequences, but all you’re really teaching them is powerless. You’re just passing your powerlessness onto them. This does not mean that there don’t have to be consequences in your home, but not punishment consequences. Because that’s really just a power struggle. That’s you not being in your power, trying to gain power by manipulating your children through fear, into doing what you want them to do. Now, isn’t that about the ugliest way that I could have stated that? But, that is absolutely what’s going on in that kind of power struggle.

Discipline is, usually, about the same thing. It’s about the punishment I will inflict upon you, or someone else will inflict upon you. It’s still about punishment, still about fear, still about manipulation, still about powerlessness. Yeah? And, I’m trying to get you to be able to use your willpower to do something that you really don’t want to do and go against everything that the voice inside you says, so that you can live in the world, where people just have to do a bunch of stuff that they don’t want to do. That’s usually what’s meant by discipline. Yeah?

Using natural and logical consequences

Now, not everybody uses it the same way, but that’s usually the general gist of it. And so, it’s not about discipline, it’s not about a power struggle, it’s not about punishment. Yeah? We want to look at consequences that are natural and/or logical. And, these are terms that you can Google, that you can get a ton of information on. Natural consequences and logical consequences; I’m a huge fan. And, the reason is because they, when done correctly, they take the punishment, and discipline, and power struggle, out of the entire equation. So, what you want to do is, you always want to have the goal in mind, in anything that you do. Whether you’re going into a business meeting, or whether you’re talking to your child, or whether you’re talking to your spouse or your partner, you want to have the goal in mind. “What is it that I really want to teach my child right now?” And sometimes, you might have to stop yourself a bit, go off and calm down. Because kids can be dicks, and they can be infuriating; absolutely, totally acknowledge that. You might need to calm down a little bit, have a bit of ‘me time’. Yeah? And get to the heart of what it is, that you really wanted to convey in all this.

Let your kids make decisions

You really want to see yourself more as a guide, or a teacher to your children, rather than as an authoritarian figure that they must learn to obey. You want to teach your kids how to make good decisions. And, in order to make good decisions, in order to learn how to make good decisions, they have to be allowed to make decisions. Which means, they have to be allowed to sometimes make bad decisions. And I know that you want to protect your little precious baby from anything and everything in the world. But that doesn’t actually serve them. What serves them best is being given a safety net by the parents, and whatever freedom is appropriate for their age. Yeah? But enough freedom for them to run into a wall every once in a while. And, sometimes, you’re going to have to let them do that. Sometimes you’re going to have to watch them run into a wall. And, unless their life is in danger, or something is going to go seriously, seriously wrong, you have to let them do it; because that’s how you learn. And, they’re either going to learn while they’re home with you, or they’re going to learn it when they’re not at home with you anymore. And, I promise you, that’s harder; it’s harder to learn all of this as an adult. It’s much easier to do when you have that safety net of the parents.

How natural consequences work

So again, you want to teach them about two different kinds of consequences, and you teach them by doing this; by enforcing this. The first one is really easy, those are natural consequences. Natural consequences are the consequences that are going to happen naturally. They do not need your interference. Although, sometimes, your explanation can be really helpful to make it easier to put two and two together. But, they’re usually quite obvious, if you look for them. So, a natural consequence is – your child is just struggling – and you’re trying to get him to put on his coat. It’s cold outside, and he’s like “I’m not putting on my coat.” – “Ok, if you go out in the cold without your coat on, you’re going to get cold.” And, unless you live some place where he’s going to get frostbite or do serious damage; let the little fucker get cold! Yeah? He’ll learn. And then, resist the urge here to do a “I told you so.” Because that’s not helpful. Now you’re just shaming him for not listening to you, which is not the point. The point is not to get them to listen to you, no matter what you say. The point is for them to listen to themselves. For them to learn how to discern information, and for them to learn how to make good decisions. And, blindly obeying authority is not something that you really want to teach them. That’s not the mindset that you want to teach them. Which means, you have to allow them to disagree with you sometimes. Yeah? And, this is where natural consequences come in.

Natural consequences are, you – it’s your responsibility to provide good, nutritious, varied food. To have it in the house, to put it on the table; it is not your responsibility to force your child to eat it. So, barring of course, any kind of intolerances, or allergies, or anything; I’m not talking about that. But if they don’t want to eat – all kids go through this, where they have a period of time where they just don’t want to eat – then they don’t want to eat. You know what? A natural consequence is: You don’t eat, you go hungry. Yeah? You know, you can spoil your dinner, and then it kind of throws off your whole-body clock. And, if your child is old enough to understand that, again, let them run into that wall.

Now, a lot of you might be thinking at this point “Well, so, if they don’t eat dinner, when my child doesn’t want to each dinner, but later on he’s going to want the sweets and the treats, and all of that.” And, just as an aside, please don’t use food as a treat, and don’t use food as a punishment. Let food be food. But, if you have a kid like that, then you might want to have a rule in your house. For instance, one that says, you eat dinner, and if you don’t eat dinner, I mean, that’s fine, we’re not going to force you. But yeah, you’re not going to be able to eat candy, or whatever, later. And, that can be a rule. But, that is not a natural consequence. The natural consequence is, if you don’t eat, then you’re going to be hungry. Yeah? And, by the way, don’t make it, like a certain amount of food; like, you have to clear your plate or something like that. A lot less people are doing that these days, but, just, as an aside. But, you know, kids go through that, they’re like “I’m just going to have the candy.” And, you just have to teach them. But, you know what? It’s also possible to let them have the candy, and get real uncomfortable, and then, that’s a natural consequence.  So, you know your kids the best; you’re going to know what works for them, and you can do that trial and error a little bit as well.

But if you then have the rule that is instituted by you, that maybe, you don’t eat dinner, you don’t get candy later. Or you don’t get candy after 9 o’clock, or whatever; at all, no matter if you eat or not, because you go jittery, and you drive me crazy, and mommy needs a little me time. That is a logical consequence. So, it is a consequence that you have imposed, somebody else has imposed it. There’s some interference there, it’s not a natural consequence.

How logical consequences work

And, a logical consequence should be, the name applies it, logical. And, if you want lots of examples, just like I said, Google it. These are terms that are not my terms. I chose these terms because they are Googleable, and you can find more information.

So, what are logical consequences? Well, the way I like to talk at them is: They are boundaries. These are your boundaries with your kids, and you want to have boundaries. You want to enforce your boundaries; you want to explain your boundaries. And, boundaries, I want to remind you (and if you don’t remember this, go back and watch my video on boundaries), boundaries are never about control. Yeah? So, a boundary is: You don’t get to do that me; control is: You don’t get to do that. And so, you want to have boundaries, but your boundaries must make sense, they must be true boundaries. Which must mean, they cannot be about control. And, you want to watch for that because, boy, kids bring out our control issues in the worst and the best way.

So, what is a logical consequence? For example, your kid is throwing an absolute temper tantrum. You’re in a safe place, they’re not going to hurt themselves, they can wail around on the floor – you just walk away. Go to the next room; walk away. Yeah? If you’re in public, don’t walk away too far, obviously. But, don’t give that any energy; don’t try to shut them down. It’s not going to work anyway. Don’t try to get them to behave, and certainly don’t bribe them. Otherwise, you’re going to have tantrums forever. If that becomes the way that gets them what they want; oh my God. All you’ve got to do is walk away. You’re not giving it any attention. This is not going to work for you. If you want to talk to them about it, you can do that later, but, in that moment, you’re just withdrawing attention. Leaving them to it; not judging them, not trying to control it. But, you’re setting a boundary like “I’m not going to deal with this.” And remove yourself from the situation.

Or a logical consequence could be something like: They leave their toys all over the place, it makes the house messy, it makes it less pleasant for everyone who’s got to stay there. And so – “If you leave your toys all over the place, they’re going to be put in bins, and they’re going to be put away, and you’re not going to get access to them again for a certain amount of time. Or until you’ve done a certain amount of chores.” Or, whatever works for your kids. Yeah?

This is a logical consequence, not a natural consequence, but it’s a logical consequence and it makes sense. Because if they leave their toys all over the place, they make the place messy. It makes it unpleasant for everybody, including them, to be in the house. So, by them contributing in this way, they are going to make it more pleasant for everybody. And, by taking the toys – if you have to pick them up for them, they’re not going to get them back for a while. And they have to, sort of, pay for them again, through some kind of chore that makes sense; maybe cleaning something up. This is a logical consequence; this will make sense to a child. This will be much, much easier enforceable than an illogical consequence. Illogical consequences, always are predicated on the idea of control. “Do it, because I say so.���

And, here’s a really good litmus test, and this isn’t just for parents, obviously. Anybody, when you’re setting boundaries, when you’re getting into some kind of power struggle, if you’re not sure if it’s a logical consequence or an illogical consequence; try to explain it. Try to explain it. Why do we have this rule? And, if you can’t explain it in a logical way, such as “We pick up our toys because it makes it more pleasant for everybody to live here, and we don’t want to live in a messy environment.” That’s a really good explanation; that’s a logical explanation. Yeah? If your explanation comes down to “Because I said so.” That usually means, that you don’t even know why you do these things. You do that because your parents did it, and their parents did it, and their parents did it. That’s not a good enough reason anymore. I’m really sorry, these kids born today will crack that wide open. They will stomp all over that. It can’t be because “I said so.” It can’t be because we’ve always done it that way. It has to be because it makes sense, because it is: Natural or it is logical.

So, when you do come up with logical consequences; natural consequences you don’t really have to come up with, you just have to let them happen, just don’t interfere. Kind of sounding familiar? Don’t interfere in the process! But, when you do come up with logical consequences, and of course, you have to; oh my God; you want to make them a few things. You want to make them enforceable. Do not lie to your kids. Oh my God, I can’t say that often enough. I mean, stop lying to anybody, but do not lie to your kids. So, when you say something like, “Well, if you, if you don’t pipe down back there, I’m going to pull over. I’m going to throw you out of the car, and I’m going to drive away.” If you have no intention of ever doing that, and you’re not in a place where you could do that, maybe, like little ways from your house, and it’s a safe place for them to walk home, and they’re old enough to do that; or something. But, if you have no intentions of doing that, don’t say that. I mean, on the flipside of that, don’t make promises to your kids, like even small, insignificant ones, that you can’t keep. If you’re not sure that you can do something, then say “We’ll try.” Or “Maybe.” But, don’t say “We’ll definitely do that.” When you absolutely know you have no intentions of doing that. Don’t do that; don’t do that, don’t do that, don’t do that. Yeah? Watch yourself, and it’s ok to say: “I don’t know.” And, it’s ok to say: “I’m not sure yet.” Or “Maybe.” And, “We’ll try.” And, it’s ok to say “No, I don’t think we can make it.” You don’t have to say yes to everything, but you’re not doing yourself, or your kids, any favors by lying. So, if you’re going to come up with a consequence, come up with a consequence that fits, that makes sense and is enforceable. And, just like any boundary, if you’re not willing to enforce it, it’s not a boundary. So, think of logical consequences as your boundaries, because that’s essentially what they are.

Allow your kids to get it right

The second thing you want to look out for is that you are not expecting them to do it wrong. And, oh, this is really prevalent; parents, grandparents, you know. First of all, I just sit and I watch people, and it’s so funny how you can watch the parents just get tenser and tenser, or grandparents get tenser and tenser, and tenser. And they’re watching the kids, and they just know the kid’s going to spill the thing, or knock over the thing, or whatever. And, they start reprimanding before the child has even had a chance to do anything. There’s no trust, there’s no belief that the child will do well. Or there’s no ability to actually figure it out for themselves. It’s just “Stop it, stop it.” And, they just take it away before anything bad can even happen. And really, often times, it’s with totally innoxious things. So, we’re not talking about firecrackers, they’re lighting firecrackers or something. We’re talking about, maybe they have a glass of milk, or they’re talking with their hands, and they might knock something over. They need to learn how to watch out, how to control themselves. And, how do you do that? You let yourself knock over the glass and then at some point you realize “Oh gosh!” And then, a natural consequence, or a logical consequence, of that is that you might need to wipe it up. You know, and you might help your child wipe it up, if they’re really little; but figure it out.

And so, watch for things like, saying things like “If you don’t do your homework, you’re not going to be able to play video games.” You’re already anticipating them not doing their homework. A better way to focus on it, just a small change in direction, would be: “When you’ve finished your homework, then you can go and play video games.” Now, you’re anticipating them finishing their homework. Do you see how that is a subtle, but very powerful shift? And, you want to watch for that, because it’s going to be insidious. Don’t beat up on yourself every time you find it, praise yourself when you do find it. Yeah? But, you want to; it’s really insidious how you might be just watching for the thing that’s wrong; watching for the thing that’s wrong, watching for the thing that’s wrong. That energy mindset is going to get your kids, even when they’re brilliant with other people, around you they just keep messing the same things up, and they won’t be able to help themselves. Yeah?

Deal with your own shit

I know we’re going really long on this video; this is a really big topic, but just a couple of more things that I want to throw in there really quickly. One of them is: As you’re dealing with your own shit, don’t hide that away from them. Let them see that you have emotions, and let them see you handling those emotions. You can even explain all of that to them, and you can show them that you’re handling it. So, “You know what? Mommy is really angry right now.” And, you can explain to them “You know what? I’m not angry at you, but I’m angry right now. And, because I’m angry, I’m going to walk away. I still love you, but I’m going to walk away, and I’m going to deal with that anger.” And then, when you come back, you’ve dealt with that anger, then you can say to them, that you have done that.

I’ve had parents whose small children, we’re talking about 6, 7, 8 years old, they were sitting there, and they were getting mad about something. And the little girl was like “Mommy, do you need to go and have an anger release?”  They’ll learn the language. And, of course, you can give them the chance to do that too. To teach them how to have constructive anger releases, and that sort of thing. But, don’t hide your emotional journey away from them. Explain it to them in whatever way is appropriate for their age. Don’t blame them for how you’re feeling, if they have pissed you off – and it is going to happen. Or, if they’ve made you mad, or they’ve hurt your feelings, kids do it all. Don’t blame them for how you’re feeling. This can be difficult; I get it, because it’s like “But, they did piss me off.” Don’t blame them for how you’re feeling, but do state the natural consequence of “Well, you did this, and I felt this way.” So, a natural consequence in this example would be: “You lied to me, and now I have a hard time trusting you. And so, how do we rebuild this trust between each other?” If they have pissed you off, then deal with your anger. It isn’t their fault; I know; I know, you want to blame them. Go off and blame them in your mind; have a constructive anger release. And, if you don’t know what that is, find it on my blog, Google , and then constructive anger release, and you’ll find all kinds of stuff on it. Or, get my book. Yeah? But, don’t blame them, or shame them for how you’re feeling, because that’s one of the biggest lessons that you’re learning. And, it isn’t about not teaching them consequences, we’ve talked all video about consequences. It isn’t about going out and being dicks to people because, maybe, the natural consequence of that is “I don’t really want to spend time with you anymore.” – “So, let’s go for ice cream.” – “Well, you know what? After the way you treated me today, I don’t really feel like getting you ice cream. You know, I’m not having the warm and fuzzies about this, right now.” That’s not saying I’m blaming you for how I feel, but that is saying, here’s a consequence. A natural consequence of being a dick, and being willing to be the delivery mechanism for other people’s sadness or anger, isn’t going to necessarily want to make them hang out with you. So, “Who do you want to be in relation to other people?” is a really good question for them to start asking themselves, and for you to ask of them.

Have a reason for the consequences

The other thing, and I touched on this before, is: Know your reasoning for consequences, and state your reasoning for consequences. The more logical, the more they make sense. If you think things need to make sense to you, they need to make sense to the little ones as well; and, more and more so. Yeah? And, if you find yourself getting mad because your kid is arguing with you, check in with yourself and make sure that it isn’t because you, in fact, have no idea why you’re setting that rule. And now, you’ve gone into a power struggle. Ok?

Bottom Line

So, I want to finish this video with a resource that is not a vibrational – I’m going to give you the name of a book and an author. And, he doesn’t write about vibration, he doesn’t write about energy, but this is the parenting book that I think I would have written, if I’d written a parenting book, or it’s really close. It is so aligned, and you can see the alignment in it perfectly if you read it. And, that is a book called The Explosive Child, the author’s name is Ross W. Greene. I’ll put the link below for you, so that you can check that out. It is, hands down, the best parenting book that I’ve ever read. And, it does deal with kids who have these big blow ups, these really uncontrollable blow ups. But I think that the techniques in it, and it really is an excellent book about communication. I think that the techniques in there should be taught to everybody. Because, adults need to be using these techniques, and kids need to be using these techniques, and they need to be using them with each other. And, also in the workplace, it really teaches you how to communicate in a much more conscious way; which requires you to become conscious first of what’s going on. And so, I have never found a book that I have recommended this highly to anyone, ever, as I have this book. It is absolutely excellent. So, check that out. Like I said, I’ll put the link in the description.

Ok, so that was really the 100 miles an hour – as quickly as I could talk to pack it all in – video on parenting, on conscious, high vibrational parenting.  Of course, I have a lot more to say on the topic, but boy, this video’s already getting long enough! Hopefully this has given you some value, or some validation as well. And, ask me the questions that I didn’t cover, in the comments. That will also let me know what I should pack into the next video. That would be really, really great.

Ok, until next week; have a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful week. And, I want to thank you personally for bringing your light to the world. And, send you smooshy, smooshy, puppy hugs. Bye.

An Open Letter To My Younger Self About Dating

Girl, you need to chill.

This whole letter will revolve around those words because being “chill” is probably the greatest skill that you will benefit most from if you’re navigating your way in the modern dating world. It’s a very easy thing to say but hard to do, but don’t worry as I will keep reminding you of it as we go on just in case you forget halfway through this letter.

Girl, you need to chill. Do your assignments first before you reply to whoever that guy you’re texting. You do you. Those boys will come and go but your grades will stick around on your student record forever. See? Loyalty. The guys you’ll eventually date don’t have that.

Prioritize yourself and your goals more before you give your attention to those weird creatures called boys who shower you with words of flattery which they most likely do so with 15 other girls. Remember that the one who is serious about you will wait for you and support you with what you want to do while checking out other girls on the side because “boys will be boys.”

You need to chill. When you like someone, stop jumping into the future and thinking about how many dogs you’re going to have or how your kids will look like or if he’s going to cry in the church’s altar on your wedding day or not. You just literally met the person and you don’t know yet if they’re allergic to dogs which is a total turn off if it happens to be so. Get to know them first. Really figure out their true self. Trust me, their rock-hard abs won’t matter if their heart is rock-hard as well.

Girl, you have to chill. Grab a chill pill when you like someone. I know your senses seem to leave you when you start falling for them so start exercising that brain not only in your studies but also when dating. See, you need to stop dissecting every little detail of a guy’s actions, text message, and/or the slight change in their tone of voice. When a guy is into you, he will make sure you know. You won’t be spending time reading articles on google about “Signs He’s Into You” or foolishly taking those “Does he like you?” quizzes because he’ll make sure that you’re spending time with him instead. Leave the poor flower in peace and don’t wonder if he likes you or he likes you not. There won’t be any mixed signals. If a guy likes you, they will pursue you.

Girl, you got to chill. Even if you like the guy, stop making excuses for their shortfalls. You’re doing a disservice to nobody but yourself. You deserve to be treated like the #kween that you are so don’t stick around with someone who’s way below your standards. Next time a guy tells you that your expectations are too high, just turn around and leave. Believe me, your standards aren’t unrealistic. Know why? Because those are exactly the kind of things that you would do for them. Now if they can’t even meet you halfway, are you sure you would want to settle for that? The previous guy you dated is 6-foot-tall but still couldn’t reach your standards. Pathetic. Girl, next time don’t lower your standards below than the height of your high heels.

Girl, chill. Don’t change yourself to fit the ideals of someone else. You be your weird self and throw around your glittery sass. The right person will love you for who you are. If not, maybe you can force your cat to love you instead. But seriously, wait for the one who won’t think that you having answers to everything that they say is annoying just because they couldn’t think of a better comeback. The right one will appreciate you and your smart mouth and how you can carry a conversation. Moreover, don’t try to be cuter or sexier or nicer just to impress someone. It doesn’t work that way. You can be the best of the best at something but that still won’t be enough for the wrong person. Ironically, you can be in your ugliest state in front of the right one and they’d still be in awe and think you’re some fictitious character like a mermaid or a unicorn. Really. Don’t change your hobbies, taste in music, face structure, or maybe even your beliefs and values just so you would fit into the other person’s “type”. Date someone who will not erase your individuality but will cherish it and support you as you slowly grow into the woman you’ve always wanted to be.

Seriously, girl, you need to chill. Guys aren’t charity work. Stop dating those who don’t know how to care for themselves because you want to “fix them.” Date someone who will take care of you instead not because you need taking care of because you’re already a strong independent young woman but because they want to care for you and maybe even spoil you. Listen to me, the moment you meet a guy who tells you about how crazy his ex is but still talk to her or how stupid his lecturers are because he doesn’t get what to do with the assignment, turn around and run away. You already got more issues than vogue. Don’t add more.

Chill. Your 3rd-degree cousins don’t need to know who you’re dating. Your free 3-month trial on Spotify lasted longer than your relationships so don’t put anything up on social media. Keep who you’re dating to yourself. Yap to your best friends, yes. But social media? Really? What do other people got to do with it? Your relationship should only be between you and your partner. You don’t need a validation from your Aunt Susan that you look good together. Because (1) chemistry isn’t important because you’re not filming a Nicholas Sparks movie; and (2) you don’t have any aunt named Susan.

While we’re on that topic, don’t you listen to those people who tell you “you’re single because your standards are too high” crap. If they truly care about you, they will want what’s best for you and nothing less. People still tell you that good looking guys will most likely cheat on you? Pfft. Even ugly ones cheat so why not finish strong and go for the genetically blessed ones? Stop the madness and don’t settle.

Girl, you need to chill. Why do you want to have a boyfriend anyway? Ain’t it fun to be third-wheeling? Also, listen to how dramatic and messy relationships are these days based on your monthly subscription to your friends’ love stories. Relationships aren’t only about going on dates and having an Instagram boyfriend although that would be really nice for your blogging. Relationships require commitment and if you’re only willing to commit to your Netflix subscription, then you’re not ready. But silly, you’re still young. Enjoy your single life and go on more adventures with your friends and make lifelong friends. Spend more time with your family and focus on yourself and your goals. Love will come along and find you someday. And it should be easy. If it’s not all fun and games now that you’re still just dating, how much worse when you are married?

Much love,

Yourself ver. 2.0
