There are many celebrations this time of year for awards, accomplishments and more. There are also many kids who have had hard seasons, hard years, and have not had the year or season they expected. They are in the valley. So much growth can happen in the valley if we allow it. Is someone you know in the valley right now? Let us notice them, celebrate them, and encourage them. It takes a lot to show up every day when life is hard. Tell them you see that.
\n\n**Takeaway: **Pay attention to who is in a hard season this week.
\n\nChallenge: Whoever is in the valley, take notice of them, and let them know that you see them showing up each day, and you celebrate their strength and resilience to get through their hard season. Remind them to stay close to God, and that it will pass.

\n\nSuzi is the green blogger behind the blog Gurl Gone Green. She's a wife and mom to three girls and one boy. After eating healthy for several years, she realized eating real food was only a small part of the healthy living equation. As a hairstylist and esthetician, she became aware of all the harmful chemicals she was constantly being exposed to. She went on a journey to transform her conventional products over to clean products. This led her to start sharing with others what she had learned. Fast forward 10 years later, and her mission to help others live out a clean lifestyle has only grown!

There are many times throughout the day and season that we all just need small shifts. Find a different perspective. Adjust your lens. Forgiveness. Grace. It could be worse. You probably don’t know the whole story, and sometimes you don’t need to know every little detail and opinion. Pause and take a breath.

First, be sure you are taking care of yourself so that you are rested, strong, and equipped to handle these situations. When your kids act out, stop taking it so personal. They are kids, and they have a lot of stress on them. Stay calm, honest, and gently work to connect with them, instead of battle with them. It isn’t easy, but we can choose different approaches to encourage, guide, and connect with them.

Regardless of the circumstance, or situation, you have to always remember that you get to choose. Even if you don’t like what you have to do, you can choose a good attitude, and choose how you respond to what is going on. Don’t ever let anyone pressure you, or try to persuade you to choose something that you don’t want. You are responsible for your choices, so make sure it is what you want to choose.

It is easy to get upset or blame others for how they are treating you. But, if you are letting them treat you that way...they think you are ok with it. We have to speak up. Respect yourself. Respect your boundaries. So that others will respect you.

When I began my journey of saying no to things that were not filling my tank with good, I began to weigh every choice with God, my values, and where my energy was needed. This helped so much in saying no to things that were not good for me and my values. Because my decisions were grounded in God, I didn’t feel as guilty, or even that I needed to explain.

This is how I went from not liking social media, to learning how to set boundaries, enjoy, be inspired, and create lasting connections through social media. I created my own discipline, and learned how to change my feed for the better, and wasting less time on endless scrolling. There is so much good, but there can also be a downside for some of us. Let us all become more aware of how it makes us feel, and make a change if needed. It should be making us feel good, and helping us. You are not alone if it isn’t making you feel good. Join me to re-evaluate your relationship with social media. Our challenge this week is to take a break from social media.
\n\nWe won’t be distracted by comparison, if we are captivated by purpose. ~ Bob Goff
