1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Blanket of Peace I said it kind of offhandedly on a coaching call. &quot;I want to be a blanket of peace in my home.&quot; And the moms would not let it go, so I have been sitting with it ever since. Here is what I mean. You have the ability to take your own emotional state and blanket a whole room with it. You already do it. Sometimes what you are laying over the kitchen is frustration or stress or that sharp voice, and sometimes it is calm. The part I want you to hear is that it is yours to choose. This episode is me asking you to stop settling for awareness of your thinking and actually reach for the peace. I walk you through a chaotic Tuesday morning, two kids off to farm school, two girls off to co-op, a thirteen year old presenting in front of the entire community, and what happened when I decided ahead of time that I was going to be so calm that everyone around me calmed down. We talk about Mother Teresa and how far her peaceful light went into a room, why this kind of power is the power women actually want, and how to say &quot;hey, we are not going to do that in this room, okay, love you&quot; instead of the version you are doing now. Plus two announcements I am so excited about. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: What a blanket of peace actually is, and why your emotional state is the thing filling the room whether you picked it or not Humans catch each other's states both directions. Anxiety spreads, and so does calm, grounded and steady Awareness of your thinking is not the finish line. Reaching for peace on purpose is the next level Deciding before the hard morning starts, so that when they walk in frantic you meet them with the voice instead of matching them Why being at peace takes fewer words and less energy, and why it works so much better than snapping The power men chase out in the world, and the very different power a woman has to set the tone of a space Mother Teresa changed the energy of every room she walked into. How far did that light reach, and can mine do that Your mission this week: pick one time of day, one room, one situation where you have been tolerating chaos, and be the calm in it EPISODE TIMELINE: [00:00] – Happy fall girl, sweaters and tea, and the phrase the moms would not let go of [05:00] – Blanketing the room with your emotional state, and taking hearts that are troubled and making them feel safe [10:00] – The co-op morning, the thirteen year old presenting, and speaking to them in the grounded voice [15:00] – Forest bear and &quot;hey, we are not going to do that in this room, okay, love you.&quot; Dropping the excuses [20:00] – Mother Teresa's golden light, the wins call, and what Catholic Mom Calm is really about [25:00] – Announcement one: the One Million Rosaries Challenge for the month of October [30:00] – Announcement two: the Catholic Mom Calm app is almost here, plus France and a request for prayers LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED: One Million Rosaries Challenge (free, all of October, sign up and start a group): https://onemillionrosaries.com &amp;nbsp; Calm Catholic Kids app (free, and you can track your rosaries in it): https://calmcatholickids.com CONNECT WITH STERLING JAQUITH: Website: https://catholicmomcalm.com Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catholicmomcalm Catholic Mom Calm http://www.catholicmomcalm.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42934227/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/206365287
