Does this sound horribly familiar?
You’re taking care of a kid (yours or someone else’s) and in seconds, you know:
Today’s gonna be tough.
Kiddo clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed
You feel stretched thin with work and not enough sleep
So, you just focus on making it through…
…The kid doesn’t have the same goal and really puts you to the test
· Constant whining
· Throwing another tantrum
· Hitting
· Breaking something
· Slamming doors
· Talking back
· Ignoring you when you talk
· Straight up disobeying
Over and over, you handle it all and
Reel in your knee-jerk reactions!
Try your best to stay calm and set and hold boundaries!
It’s exhausting but you’re ready to call the day a success and go to sleep-
When they do the EXACT 1 thing you asked them to stop doing…
And they do it on purpose
Just like that:
BOOM!
It’s the damn straw that finally breaks the camel’s back.
Uh-uh, no more Mr. or Ms. Nice Guy!
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Now, think.
Why is the child behaving this way?
It’s not something they like to do.
We can both agree that the tantrum itself doesn’t help the child get what they want.
But! It does allow others to notice the problem and help.
Why?
Because we know tantrums are how young children show that they’re upset or frustrated.
Or tired, hungry, or uncomfortable, or plain ole’ not getting what they want in that moment
Going back to our lil scenario…I have a plot twist to share.
You ARE the child in this scenario.
Maybe you are frustrated because your free time is limited?
Or maybe your energy is constantly low because its constantly given to things that drain you?
Perhaps you may feel unappreciated at work?
Maybe you are not holding your weight with the family expenses??
No matter what it is, theres a good chance you have tantrums at least a few times a week.
Sometimes they look like the typical pouting, yelling, or being difficult…you know tantrums that we adults seem to have.
But other times, it looks like choosing to partake in a vice that does not help the situation (booze, Netflix, laziness, junk food, etc.)
these are the signs that your regular life isnt what you want it to be.
These are how you have a tantrum, but who is recognizing it and helping you with your situation?
Who can see that your “Cries” are because you are tired and need a nap or frustrated because you don’t get time with your loved ones?
I do.
And like any good coach or parent, I’m not just gonna give you want you want, I’m gonna give you what you need…
a new way to invest your spare income to buy back your freedom.
Learning how to invest in raw land can be the thing that will help you in the situation.
To explore that your life can be like after learning these skills, book a call with me here:
I’m opening up space on my calendar for a limited time to help you, so dont waste this opportunity.
If you would rather continue with your tantrums, that’s fine, but Im not sure why you would choose that life…
However, if you are ready to put on your big boy or girl pants and get to work.
Work that aint gonna be easy.
Work that will make you uncomfortable and even frustrated.
But work that I can promise that you will be better off for it by the time we are done.
Then book that call.
