SuperParent Syndrome's podcast

Parenting is not for the weak. Cooking, cleaning, bath time, work, driving the kids to practice, church, working out, all while keeping your sanity is no small feat. Because maybe it seems you’re caught in a juggling act, but you’re doing your best. This exists to help you thrive instead of just surviving.

I was setting goals and targets for 2018 and looking at all I wanted to accomplish and instead of just stating what I wanted to get done - I took it an extra step.

I made it a commitment instead of just showing interest.

Instead of just saying I was going to get healthier and lose weight, I paid and scheduled a Spartan Race Trifecta over the course of the year.  

See the Difference?

A declaration is great and a really great start; but showing commitment by telling others, scheduling the event, or whatever it takes to "burn the ships" and get the work done.

How can you apply this to your marriage?  Perhaps it's finding a sitter for every week and paying them whether you use them or not.  Or committing with another couple to trade kids every other week for date night.  It doesn't have to be expensive!

I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, the Art of Charm and they were interviewing Michelle Rigby Assad, an ex-CIA Intelligence Officer about many things including the stories in her head about belonging in the CIA but also more importantly, what it took for her to work with informants in the Muslim Nation.  More specifically, what it took to break their assumptions about a young, white woman and to gain their trust to spill their intel.

Super interesting, but here is my main takeaway.  During her conversation, she spoke about ambush training and how the CIA is training them to NOT FREEZE.  In any dangerous situation, a person will either fight, flight, or freeze and it was the main point of training to always move from X.  Get away from allowing yourself to be the target.

I say to you dear listener.  In your everyday life, how can this apply to you in your fears, situations, and experiences.  How can you "move from X".

Art of Charm - Michelle Rigby Assad Episode

Quick Life-Hack straight from my practice here in Rural Ogallala Nebraska.

With free time being short, I like to drop a quick tip now and then and for parents, this is a BIG ONE.

Stop finishing your kids meals.  Whether in your home or out to eat it's killing you.

1,440 calories on average per week just by picking at our children's plates or finishing what they left.

That's approx TWO POUNDS WORTH OF FOOD PER MONTH.

Stop it now.

Check out the podcast for the kids bucket list idea and also check out our facebook page where I am going to give you daily motivation and inspire you to do a little better every day.

That's the whole point.  No more perfect parent BS.  Our goal is to just be a little bit better than you were yesterday and if we can band together and support each other - we just might make it out alive!

Til next time!

Dr. Nick
