Aim True (Amy Pagett)

For those who are new to following me. Here is my bio. aimtruecoaching.com/post/amy-s-bio

@childmindinst Energy is contagious. Kids are always coregulating with the adults in their lives. A regulated nervous system is one of the best gifts you can offer your child.

When a tantrum starts, lower your voice and your words. Your calm nervous system can help your child’s system settle.

@LindaBerman4 At its root, shame is the feeling of not belonging. When we are rejected or ignored, shame is the response.

Toxic shame can also be created by constant parental neglect and rejection. Pete Walker

In healthy relationships there is space to share uncomfortable truths. Embracing discomfort creates room for growth.

Often adults talk at kids too much. Kids quit listening after a while. When children are given an opportunity to talk and share they feel seen and heard. Less talk, more listening.

@Persistence982 I love this Heidi! Connection is key!

As a school administrator, I navigate how to support kids with self regulation challenges. Today, my offer to a kiddo returning from suspension was to come to see me 10 minutes before each recess for a while to chat, play cards, whatever! Connection is key. Relationships 1st.

@DrMcFillin There is often wisdom in discomfort. Pay attention to when you feel uncomfortable, it’s information about YOU.

Your most uncomfortable thought might be your best teacher.

We sometimes assume that kids know the difference between right and wrong. But often it is something that requires explicit teaching.

@DrCarlHindy Curiosity allows us to make new discoveries and opens the door for wonder and excitement.

Ways we quietly drive away the people we love: #36 We stop being curious.

@atterbeary The need for attachment is so strong that people often choose it over authenticity.

Most people don’t lose themselves overnight. They trade pieces away slowly— for approval, comfort, and belonging.

@Lovandfear People wear a lot of masks to fit into places in order to feel a sense of belonging.

“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.” — attributed to Albert Camus

We often expect the same strategies that we used for survival to help us heal. Recovery is about getting curious and discovering new ways of thinking and being in the world.

@shadows_control Jokes are supposed to be funny not hurtful.

If your partner makes jokes that make you feel belittled, insecure, or degraded, it’s not a joke; it’s a tactic. Abuse isn’t always yelling—sometimes, it’s a laugh at your expense. Trust your feelings. Real love uplifts. #EmotionalAbuse

@drgurner Often saying NO to others is a way of saying YES to yourself.

Saying "No," is a hard thing done once. Being Overwhelmed, is hard way of living every day.

@Persistence982 What an amazing experience Heidi!

Today is a day I'm so grateful for. Terry Fox's brother Fred came to recognize our school for outstanding fundraising efforts. As a kid, my dad would drop me off to run The Terry Fox Run by myself. Terry was my hero. Meeting Fred & hearing stories, will stay with me forever. 💙🙏

@QuietEthics Wise words!

@AimTrue7 Pain passed along is just pain that didn't finish its work. Sit with it long enough to hear what it's saying’ then let it go. The wound that gets listened to doesn't need to be handed to someone else.

Revenge & hurting others won’t make you feel better. It’s an attempt to soothe your pain but you can’t pass it along. The way to deal with pain is to sit with it and get curious about what it’s trying to tell you.

@ItsKieranDrew We repeat the same patterns in life until we change the way we respond.

Life will slap you with the same problems until you internalise the lesson.

@AditiRajasthan Sometimes we have to get lost in order to be found.

Just a reminder: When you think you're lost, you're actually exploring. When you think you're stuck, you're actually discovering. When you think you've hit a dead end, you are actually at the beginning.

@thought_harbor Often leaving behind the parts of yourself that no longer serve you, also means leaving relationships and environments that contribute to these parts. It’s complex & can feel overwhelming. Breathe & know that it can start with small changes.

You have the power to leave behind the parts of yourself that no longer serve you well. If you have old habits or old ways of thinking that make you sad, you can let them go. You are the author of your own book and you can start a brand new chapter whenever you want. Evolution means being brave enough to change your mind.
