Because it's just like the internal noise and all those things. So I really love to ground there. I will journal. I find that the journaling is also really, again, I've always had to just kind of release things more freely than I find I can do with other people. So that really helps. A really good workout. Key. Get me sweating. Get me kind of like, you know, just like feel the power of your body.
That helps me a lot. Then, of course, I'm going to wash my face. I'm going to release, as we talked about, the golden cleanser is going to let me like let it go. I have this beautiful, rich transformation cream. And on it, it says, I welcome all circumstances as a catalyst for change. Wow. And so I can probably reflect on the fact that this doesn't, this isn't, bad or good.
This is just a catalyst to change something. And then I get my illuminating serum on because I'm going to be glowing and I'm giving myself the permission. And I do love a bath. I do love a bath. I do love, you know, back to the oils or the herbs. I find that even the crystals can come into play.
release something and definitely the intentions and the affirmations come into play because I find that whatever's bothering me, I'll kind of, it's something that's challenging me. Maybe I don't want to fail at something or I don't want to, I don't want something to go wrong or, and I kind of use that to say whatever it is that I might need. And, you know,
hey, sometimes it's just going to be a hard day, maybe be a hard week, maybe be a hard month. But doing that consistently, I know I'm fueling myself and I'm pouring in there and I feel better.
Well, I used to force Egypt to meditate with me. I was like, you want whatever you want, come meditate with me. That worked for a while. He's really big now and he's 13. So I feel like I can still kind of push him into it. But it was cool because he, I think... When I do my meditation, he can say every word. So can Genesis.
And even though they don't necessarily do it with me all the time, they know it and they feel it and they hear it. And so I do think that idea of kind of like just sitting with yourself again is a great practice for kids because, you know, it just has to be long. Five minutes. Cool. Really quick. A lot of the times I'm also talking to my kids a lot about gratitude.
I think gratitude is the key, key. It's the most simple but potent key to changing the energy. I know I've felt times before where I'm like, I'm just pissed off because someone did something and I'm like, and I'm sick of it. I'm trying to take it. And I am steaming. And I'll just like start to list what I'm grateful for. It changes everything, everything.
And I try to also share with my kids that, you know, give thanks. Give thanks and also pray. Make a prayer for what it is you're thankful for and what it is you're looking for. And I promise you, you will open every door for yourself. I promise. Every time I leave the room, my older ones, sometimes I'll pray with them. Sometimes I let him, you know, be in his own zone.
And I say, don't forget to pray. Don't forget to be grateful and pray because the gratitude is key. I really do feel that it's a key ingredient to settling and definitely to joy, which I think is what we're all looking for. Absolutely.
Man, I love those names.
I mean, yeah, Egypt has been so cool because even just as watching him grow and he's always been super into architecture and math. I'm like, man, maybe I feel like the name connection really brought that to him in so many ways. And Genesis is... Like, whoa. I'm like, we might have needed to rethink naming that boy Genesis. But it's so good. He's so like kind of strong and clear.
And, you know, he doesn't bend. And I really appreciate that for him because I spent so much of my life bending and contorting and shifting and changing and trying to please that I love. And he's like, no. And he won't. That's it. I'm like, okay, I need you to try to be a little bit fluid, like a little fluid on occasion. Not every time, just once in a while. But I love that for him.
I love that he's clear. He's clear and that's it.
think I've just been working on just listening. Yeah. I think that we all have such big personalities. I think I feel for the kids sometimes, like their dad has this huge personality and we have this big personality and I answer every question and I react to everything and I'm always saying, yeah, oh yeah. And sometimes I'm like, I think I can just be more silent.
I think I can just actually, let me allow them the space to, and everybody, the space to just kind of feel, share, say what they're saying without neither encouragement nor discouragement. Just like, perceive what they're saying and let them just speak. So I think the listening is really cool. Not always reacting, not always sharing, not always saying something.
Just like being more, more, more silent, more taking the space to just. Yeah. That's what I'm working on.
I mean, they're pretty present. You know, they're pretty present. I think about that often. I mean, I'm very much about... I want us all in spaces that feel very, very normal. Like I am very, very like about that. I love to take them to their classes and I love to drop them off at school.
And I love to like, we go and we go to the, you know, we go hang out at the park or we go somewhere, we do what we do. And I really love that ease. So I really want to put them in environments that feel like that. So, of course, you know, on the other side, they're on the tour bus for three months. And that's also different.
So they I think but I do think they have a pretty good balance about it all. And they're pretty like everyday kids, you know, and I love that about them, too. I wonder how it feels or how they affect them. They're both very empathetic. Like, I know sometimes if we're out and someone, you know, they might have caught someone who wants to take a picture. But, Ma, just take a picture, Ma.
