For 2-5 minutes, practicing allowing and valuing the thoughts and emotions that came up as you did your thought download and created your unintentional STEAR. Try these thoughts:
  • "Looking at my thoughts helps me become a better parent".
  • "I HAVE this emotion. I AM NOT this emotion"
  • "This STEAR is showing me how my nervous system tried to keep me safe in this situation"
  • "Getting curious about my STEAR helps me make changes in the future"
  • "I’m not here to judge myself. I’m here to understand myself
