1 | Practice Rigorous Authenticity
My mask is:
I’m hiding a weakness2 | Surrender The Outcome
I can’t control:
- Actions and behaviors of my son
- How my words might trigger him
- How he wants to live his life
- If he wants to have a relationship with me
I can control:
- Allowing myself to be vulnerable
- How I listen and show up moving from mom of young teen to mom of young adult
- My thoughts and responses
- Where I place my energy and focus resources
- Understanding my emotional triggers
3 | Do Uncomfortable Work
My Daily Reflection:
The impossible becomes possible as soon as we are totally surrendered.
My Mask-Free Action(s):
1. Attend one CODA meeting
2. Practice listening and empathizing without solving
3. Get clear on what is triggering me
4. Allowing myself to be vulnerable
Why this matters to me:
Create space and freedom for my son to learn and experience failure and growth on his own terms. For me, learning out to surrender the outcome.
