Top 20 Parents Live Above the Line: How Our Thinking Governs Our Experience

This one-of-a-kind session focuses on becoming aware of our thinking so we know when it is working and when it is not working. It explores (1) the conditions that come up in our life that invite us to go Below the Line, (2) indicators telling us when we are Below, (3) how to handle Below the Line experiences with more grace and dignity and (4) how to trampoline back Above the Line. We’ll also take a look at the Law of Big Things, that challenging tug-of-war that often takes place between parents and their children. Don’t miss this night, it could be a game-changer for you and your family!

Stress and anxiety is now the number one health concern reported on surveys. Untreated stress affects every area of our life. Research shows that stress contributes to many of the problems that people of all ages are experiencing. Stress affects us physically emotionally, behaviorally, socially and spiritually. It impacts our immune system and helps contribute to every major health care challenge we are seeing today. When someone is stressed, they have difficulty concentrating and retaining information and don’t function to their full capacity.
