The Parent Well Podcast by Jessica Ridley Patton

WELL, is it fear or tension? I recently learned that there’s a huge difference between fear and tension. One of these things causes us illness, discontent, anxiety and is truly unhealthy. One of them pushes us to new heights and is something that stretches and grows us. I bet you can guess which is which. Fear is just plain icky, folks! It gives off an energy that our kids pick up on and it keeps us stuck. Tension however, is NECESSARY!!! It was pretty mind blowing to me to fully realize this and it can be so easy to want our problems to just go away. But guess what? There’s always going to be something!!! There will not be a time in any of our earthly lives where things are just perfect and all our issues have been resolved. We will always have TENSION. When we allow it to kick us into fear, we’re not being present. We’re reliving our pasts or projecting what the future of this current tension will look like. And guess what – if you say that “one day” you will have peace…one day never gets here. The only moment with have is the one we are in and one day is code for never.

Do you struggle with beating yourself up or being able to forgive yourself for your past mistakes? I know I do...but I learned a little something that I wanted to share with you. Please be encouraged. You are right where you're supposed to be.

When you hear the word wealth, what do you think? Having everything you need, when you need it? Being able to give more? Extravagance? More than enough? Those are some descriptors that come to mind for me. And when you think about it, we can be wealthy in so many more ways than financial. We can be wealthy in our relationships, in our experiences and like today’s episode is going to cover, we can be emotionally wealthy too! However, I believe that Emotional wealth is something that has to spring from within us as opposed to being given to or bestowed upon us. We have to be deliberate and we have to TAKE it.
