Making Positive Parenting Choices | Take Time to Celebrate More

I listen to a lot of rap and hip-hop. I like artists that have a positive message though. One of my favorite artists is Andy Mineo. This summer he and some other artists came out with a song called Celebrate More. The song is about how we don’t take time to celebrate in our culture. We get so busy with life that we don’t take time to celebrate. The pressure of always performing leads to stress.

Parents, I want to encourage you to be mindful and celebrate more. Take time to celebrate the wins in your life no matter how small. Evaluate where you have been, what you have gone through, and celebrate coming out on the other side. Do this exercise: write down a few things that you have accomplished as a person and as a parent. If a few is too many, then choose one thing that you can celebrate. Choose to celebrate more.

When you make better choices you will live a better life, so choose well. Oh yeah!
