Do This Right NOW! You Will Thank Me in Ten Years...

I want you to take photo’s and video’s of you with the kids. 

I know- you don’t feel particularly pretty or confident right now. 

You don’t want pictures of yourself tired, puffy and swollen from late nights and early mornings. 

But do it anyway. 

Because - I promise you- a decade from now you will hunt for snapshots of life with your kiddos. 

Looking back, either I didn’t want to be in the picture because I didn’t like how I looked (for whatever reason) OR I was the one taking the picture- so of course I wasn’t in it!

Do this right now- put your phone on video mode and turn it towards your kids, then go and hug them, wrestle, or chase them. Get on the floor and play with them. Just do something with them. Look into their eyes. Don’t look at the camera. You don’t ever have to look at the video- just keep it for yourself for later. When you’re outside next, turn the video on your camera, put it on the ground, and get a snapshot of you walking with the kids. 

Selfies are good too. Get lots of those with the family because at least you’re in the photo, but as I look back on the past two decades raising kids, it’s the videos of random life that I love. Not the posed smiles, but the snapshots of daily life. I want videos of us eating breakfast, driving in the minivan, and swimming. Just 90 seconds at a time. I would give thousands of dollars for that now. I’m literally tearing up wishing I had a video of me tucking the kids into bed at night.

 And you know what, as long as you’re working on yourself -you’re in my coaching program right?? :)    - in ten years you won’t care what you looked like! 

A decade from now, no matter how bad you thing you look, you’ll have compassion on yourself, you’ll think you were too hard on yourself and that you were doing the best that you could, and most of all - you’ll know how fiercely you loved your family despite the exhaustion! 

 Probably you’re the camera person at home, so I’m helping you out:

 For the next week get as many random pics and videos of daily life as possible, but you have to be in them. 

This is the challenge, and in ten (or twenty) years, you can thank me for it!

With lots of love, 

Your coach,

Jenn
