Children are constantly downloading your nervous system.

They are constantly learning how to react to the world, how to react to stress, how to handle uncertainty, how to regulate their own emotions by observing you, not by listening to your advice and by you telling them what to do, but by seeing who you are and by feeling your energy, seeing you and feeling you.

And I had this realization like, do I want my son to learn panic right now?

Or do I want him to learn what peace looks like?

Like, I'm always thinking about my son who's a little tiny guy.

He's just a little version of me.

And I'm always thinking about him and really like what type of man I want to teach him to be.

So as I'm going through this, I'm going, what type of man do I want to teach him to be?

Do I want to teach them to be one that panics or do I want to teach one who learns how to regulate in the moment?

Because your children don't just inherit your eye color.

They inherit your emotional patterns that if you don't heal them within yourself, they're going to get them as well.

Okay?

Lesson number four.

When we look at peace, peace is not...

a destination that we get to.

It's not something that we finally arrive at.

Once we get there, we feel it forever.

It is a practice.

Like you have to understand, it is a practice.
