So we've got to bring ourselves back to this moment.

What is actually true?

Lesson number three, your nervous system teaches your children how to live.

Everybody is picking up on everybody else's nervous system, whether you realize it or not.

This one hit me hard in that moment because my son was sitting on my lap.

right?

His back was against my chest.

He was leaning on me.

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?
