If you haven’t already watched the @netflixsa@fromscratchnetflix@from_scratch_netflix_ based on a true story, then you absolutely must – a spectacular showcase of the expansive range of emotions that humans encounter.
(love, sadness, anger, connection, frustration, empathy, sadness, relief, joy and so many more).
This is the first series-in a really long time-that I have watched twice. Each character invokes a different emotion that resonates.
From Scratch is a tribute to the realness and rawness of family dynamics, culture and tradition and the emotional bid for connection, its impact on the human life experience and WITHIN the human body as well as the importance of self-awareness, compassion, vulnerability, understanding and empathy. (Physical and emotional fitness).
Disclaimer: you will cry, and then you WILL sob and you WILL need tissues!
In her book “Atlas of the heart” @brenebrown describes 87 emotions that shape our lives – giving us a vocabulary to accurately define and communicate the emotion- so that we can process, move through and heal.
Take a moment to understand your emotions as a parent and help your children to understand their emotions too. Bring them into an awareness of their emotions from the beginning. Teach them to listen to their gut and trust it.
