The “Motherly Experience”

We have all heard the phrase from online companies promoting their brand on Google, YouTube, and Yelp emphasizing how they provide the best “customer experience” when you do business with them.  The experience starts before you even click the checkout button, it begins when you see the brand’s advertisement or social media posts and then to the brands website, the ease of navigating and shopping, to customer service promptness and finally to the delivery of the goods.  This whole process is all packaged up and labeled the customer experience. If you had a good customer experience with a particular brand, you will surely buy from them again and recommend them to friends and families.

    Our culture puts a lot of care making sure we as consumers have the best customer experience, but what about the “Motherly Experience”?  This may be new to many of us, but our culture should start focusing more on the “Motherly Experience”. This process starts at the planning phase of deciding on a mate and going through the steps of Marriage and finally deciding on having a baby.  This first steps are crucial because it lays the path for the 18 years of “Motherly Experience” that the child will go through. With careful thought and intention on choosing the right husband/wife, you start to build the family structure that will mold the child based on how the parents live out their morals and priorities in life.  Next, the child’s experience will go through stages of uncertainly, rebellion, identity issues which parents will have to learn to adapt, adjust and figure out a resolution of these issues. Be kind but firm in discussing and communicating your thoughts on how to resolve those issues and at the same time give them room to express their feelings on why those issues are occurring.  

Being able to nurture the child’s relationship one step at a time builds self confidence and also lets them know that they are loved no matter how tough things may get. This experience is vital for the child when he/she transitions into adulthood. With the onset of adulthood, the final phases of “Motherly Experience” comes to fruition. You will see how your adult child associates with others in society, how he/she is able to cope with everyday stress and issues and also you will see how they will give love to another person.

 If you created a great “Motherly Experience” in those 18 years, , your child will grow up and be a better contributor to society.  We must learn to make the “Motherly Experience” part of every parents plan in parenthood.  If this template of parenting is duplicated, our world will start to see a decline in bullying, prejudice, suicide and crime.  This is not only a job for mothers but also for dads.  With the Mother’s Day only a few days away, we want to give a warm hug to all mothers out there that have provided that “Motherly Experience” and have done so with a SMILE on their face.

A System of Wellness

In today’s tech savy generation, we are obsessed with boosting productivity in all aspects of our lives, making us constantly looking for ways to improve and often do not leave room and time for self reflection before we jump into new habits and systems.  There seems to be a system of productivity for every industry. From personal to work, we can get overwhelmed with all these systems to make us better and more productive. Overtime, we would probably get all these systems meshed together and their efficiencies will be deflated.

In order to boost productivity, it really does start with our own personal eagerness to get things done.  We should focus on developing our inner core instead of outside forces that can change constantly, thus requiring us to shift from systems to systems.  Begin focusing on increasing productivity within your innner core by developing a PATH mindset. This PATH mindset is quite simple and can be expanded on later once you consistently do it.  It can be used universally in any industry and requires just “You” being present and always showing up. The PATH mindset is simply surrounding yourself with “Positive People” who will lift you up and give you increased enegry. Have an “Attitude” of positivity and humbleness, which will foster positive “Thoughts”, which will lead to “Happiness”.  If you are not happy at the end of what you set out to achieve, the best systems and productivity tool will not make your life any better than it was before. It will only make you busier.

Once you are can attain inner happiness, productivity will no longer be an issue that you will need to tackle.  Having this universal system will make life a little less complicated and more meaningful.  Click on the link below to see how to boost your wellness.

“Health is a state of mind, Wellness is a state of being”

Who would you like to have dinner with?

As kids we remember approaching other kids who are hurt or feel sad and just want to comfort them.  We would would start to feel sad when we see other kids feel sad. It is our natural instinct to cater to those in need or weaker than us but is that instinct still with us as we become adults?  Yes, it is still in all of us but with the pressure of society we have suppressed that instincts and have put forth the instinct of the survival of the fittest in the for front instead.

As we journey through life, we slowly believe that this natural instinct to cater to those in need is not as important because, “I” must come before “you” and “we”.  We tend to gather at parties and social events with people who are similar to us. We want to be in the presence of people who are in higher status than us.

An interesting question if you were to ask anyone at a social gathering, who would you like to sit and eat dinner with?  It is 99% guaranteed that the answer would probably be something along these line based on our times.

“  It would be Elon Musk, Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos, I would love to see what is in their mind and to learn what they have that makes them successful.”  Not too many people would give an answer such as “It would be with the homeless that I see on the street, the victims of human trafficking, the abused victim, or that person who lost everything.”    Why is that we are ashamed to be in the presence of those who may have less than us or who’s life is not so glorified? Those people could be a mother/father, sister/brother, friend, teacher, or co-worker.   They have a place in our society also.

In our childhood years we were able to show our love  and reach out but as adults we are afraid to reach out.  Yes, it does take courage to reach out to those that are different from us but the impact that it will make on you and that person is far greater.  The next time you are at any social gathering, look to see how you can give your love and time to someone who may need it. The greatest gift you can give someone is to give them compassion.  Our world needs more from each one of us, which is giving compassion and showing less contempt.

 

“Not all of us can do great things, But we can do small things with Great Love.”  –Mother Teresa
