Bringing Aliveness in Parenting and Relationships

Tweet

Hi,

In my last post, I shared about feeling aliveness and its impact on you and on the people you care for. Let us take it a level deeper and discover what can make you and me feel alive. How we can include aliveness in our everyday relationships as well as parenting.

Discover the secret to feel aliveness while parenting!

We already know the absence of aliveness brings a certain way of living that is deprived of enthusiasm, spirit, and connection with our present. On the other hand, bringing aliveness can create a whole new world of happiness, hope, high spirits and connection with the present day. So, what all can help us to feel alive and live our life fully?

Here are certain important aspects which I consider bring forth ALIVENESS-

Physical and mental well-being

Workout regularly to keep your mind and body energized.

Regular workouts, walk, running, playing sports or yoga create good health and positive body image. In addition, regular physical workout of any nature enhances stamina, strength, and flexibility. This, in turn, gives you the confidence to perform tasks that you love without hindrance and promotes mental well-being.

Creativity

Participating in creative fields like art, painting, dramatics, dance, musical instruments, singing, etc., help you to express yourself. The uninhibited self-expression through creativity makes you feel alive and happy.

Love and care

Creating Aliveness in everyday routine through love and care.

Being loved and cared for brings that level of satisfaction which cannot be compared to anything else. Such an event arises when you are deeply connected to your parents and other close relationships, communicating, sharing and listening as well. Spending time with loved ones and developing a calm environment at home makes way for aliveness in parenting and relationships.

Self-growth

Being committed to your own growth, enhancing skills and learning new activity that falls outside your comfort zone definitely invites lots of enthusiasm in life. Reading books on varied subjects is another way to contribute to your learning journey. 

The continuous effort to grow and nurture yourself to witness self-development in yourself is key to feel fulfillment and contentment. The purpose is to keep your brain activated and engaged in different areas of interest. That brings liveliness in everyday routine.

Make peace with past

Yes, that is one important thing as humans we need to incorporate in our minds. Our imagination goes wary. Either caught up in past incidents or fearful of the future, we seldom enjoy what is available right here and now. 
By prompting our mind to focus on the present moment that we are witnessing, we can be available to people around us and experience aliveness. Therefore, let bygones be bygones. Live the moment as it comes.

Hello everyone, 

Lately, I have been working on the possibility of creating aliveness in everyday life. In younger times, we engaged in creativity, laugh, tease, play, dance and act in many more ways that created a lively atmosphere in our life. However, as we grow older, responsibility, accountability, tight schedules, etc., etc., take over our once lively persona. 

                                                                    

Is the absence of aliveness bad?

It is though it is not apparent to us. The absence of aliveness deprives us of the element of feeling enthusiasm and hope at times. Emotions of stress, pain, self-doubt, fear, resignation, and indifference take over our everyday existence. That translates into our family atmosphere as well. We exist, work, sleep and perform tasks necessary for survival. However, that is not the reason we are blessed with the life of a human.

Absence of aliveness in our own being manifests in relationships; especially affects our kids. Carrying the emotional baggage of past erodes the aliveness and happiness of today. You cease to exist in present or count your blessings. Again, the same vibes surround your family and kids.

What is ALIVENESS?

                               

Being in the moment is being alive!

Alive means having a life, not dead. Going as per Dictionary. com, here is a clear meaning of what does it mean by 'alive'?

                                           

                               

   So, being alive is not only being in existence, it refers to a state of being active, being exuberant, vibrant and full of energy. That comes when one is fully immersed in the present and available for what is happening right now. Such existence does not have the shadow of past or fear of the future, only being present to the ongoing moment.

Check this quote on ALIVENESS:

What is the Importance of Creating Aliveness while Parenting?

As a human when you feel alive, vibrant and full of energy, it generates in the whole environment. The people surrounding you like your spouse, parents or children receive the same energy and respond with equal zest.

Situation 1- Response coming from your past culminating into anger towards kids.

Imagine a situation, wherein you are exhausted and loaded with official work. You enter your home with this mind frame when you kid hugs you. However, since being not available in present, as your mind is still stressed out, you respond with anger/ frustration. The result is the family atmosphere gets disturbed and your kids drift away from you.

                                           

Situation 2: Creating aliveness while parenting

On the other hand, while feeling alive and being in the present, you can respond to the same situation calmly, thereby retaining pleasantness. Consequently, the kids will connect with you freely and you will be able to enjoy a happy environment after a hectic day.

Here are highlights of Creating Aliveness while Parenting:

1. Being available here and now as a person

2. Past baggage kept aside

3. Responding to the present situation 

            

4. Inspiring the environment to experience present

5. Ensure many happy moments for family

6. Connecting with kids at an elevated level

7. Ensuring the vibrant persona of kids

8. Teaching the kids to be alive at any given moment

9. Happy and optimistic family
