Have you heard of “October Theory”? Apparently it’s a TikTok phenomenon focused on self-care and getting focused to finish the last quarter with emphasis and intention. This article from Fortune explains, “October Theory says the last 90 days of the year…pose unique potential for growth. It capitalizes on the finite time left in the year, serving as motivation to have a new beginning and use the last three months to think about what you want and need in your life.” I’m a big proponent of reviewing, revising…even writing…goals and intentions. If October poses the opportunity to strike that match and spark a productive push for the end of the year, then I’m all for it. My October Theory action list: -Declutter my 8-year-old’s bedroom. The number of tiny toys and random items shoved into the drawers is truly amazing – time to start fresh! -Eat the food that is in my freezer. I love to cook and I love squirreling away stews and sauces in my freezer…and save them for some unforeseen future. It’s packed in there. This quarter, I’m focusing on how I can enjoy what I’ve stored and make the busy days of November and December cozier; compliments of past-me. -Update framed photographs. I had a blast at that trip with my college friends back in 2005. However, a few things have happened since then…you know, marriage, kids, dogs, work, major moves. It’s time for me to print some new photos and update my frames in the house. Below are several articles that are talking about October Theory – -Good Housekeeping –?11 Easy “October Theory” habits to try before the end of the month -Fortune –?How TikTok’s ‘October Theory’ can make you happier and more successful by the end of the year -Forbes –?How to change your life with ‘October Theory’ – by a psychologist #communicationskills #octobertheory #success #goals

3 Steps to.....Get Parents to Respond! We've all felt that frustration, right?! "I didn't get the email" "I didn't know" "I wasn't told" Yet we all know how busy our families are - because we know what our own diaries and inboxes can look like! Put these 3 Steps into action today to help parents to respond (and save your sanity!) 1 - Make the subject line funny, interesting or memorable. You want YOUR email to be the one that jumps out at them. Which email would catch YOUR eye more - "Costume Information" or "Don't Dance Naked!" Obviously it needs to be the right tone for your brand - but just stop and consider how you can word the subject line such that it can't help but be opened. 2 - Give them a deadline to respond. If there isn't a deadline, there's no reason to act. So create a deadline, even if there doesn't really need to be one - because adding urgency creates a desire in them to take action. 3 - Give them some loving reminders of the deadline - and then stick to it. We need to show grace (even if we have steam coming out of our ears!) that they may need some reminders. Schedule some automated email reminders and automated social media posts to gently tap them on the shoulder, reminding of the deadline each time. Then lovingly stick to it - you set your boundaries for a reason, respect yourself enough to honour them. You can do this in a lovely gentle way - but boundaries are boundaries.

You’ve heard it before: Self-care isn’t selfish. But self-care IS self-centered. REAL self-care isn’t bath bombs or face masks (shoutout to them though, yaaas). It’s putting yourself first—because if you don’t, no one else will. It’s about living a story where you are the main character. But let’s be real: how the hell do you actually do that? I mean the REAL kind of self-care that changes your life, not just your Instagram aesthetic. Here’s the truth: you need two essential skills—self-awareness and self-trust. And the fastest way to practice those? Showing up on social media. I know it sounds counterintuitive. But hear me out: Being yourself publicly demands a commitment to your humanity like nothing else. It forces you to confront this scary truth: people WILL perceive you, judge you even, but you are still whole, good, and enough. Talk about a baptism by fire. You’ll learn more about who you are and what you stand for by showing up online than any amount of quiet reflection. And if you’re stuck in a life where your genius isn’t acknowledged, where the conversations feel surface-level, and where you’re frustrated that you’re not making an impact… good luck practicing real self-care there. DM me instead. Let’s change your whole life. Call it building a personal brand. Call it taking up an aggressive amount of space. I’m Justin Schuman. Human is in my last name—and I’m here to help you do it step by step.

Parents, have you ever had those moments where your child spills juice all over the carpet, knocks over a favourite vase, or draws on the walls with permanent markers? Our first instinct? To freak out!! We’ve all been there. Parenting is a tough responsibility, and sometimes, those little accidents feel like the last straw. But here’s the thing - In my parenting journey, I’ve learned that these moments are also golden opportunities. Opportunities to practice patience, model calmness, and teach our kids that mistakes are a part of life. The way we respond in these situations speaks volumes to our children about how to handle frustration, stress, and unexpected surprises. When we react with anger or frustration, we unintentionally teach them to fear making mistakes. But when we respond with calmness and understanding, we show them how to navigate challenges with grace. ??I’ll be discussing this and much more in our upcoming webinar on September 6th at 6pm IST (link in the comments). If you’re a parent who wants to master your life and become truly in charge of how you show up for your kids, this session is for you! Let’s transform those “freak-out moments” into opportunities for growth and connection. Join us and discover how you can lead with empathy, calmness, and confidence in your parenting journey. What’s one moment where you stayed calm and it made all the difference? Share it in the comments below! #parenting #parentingcoach #webinar #linkedin

The story in your head holds you back way more than having the tools or strategy to do what you want to do. I’m developing my story telling with Susan Payton at the moment so I can better communicate how I can support you. This is where we are starting. It’s also a key part of the work I do with all my clients. It’s the thing that gets in the way of accepting our children the way they are. This is a way it can play out. Imagine your kid gets upset & starts shouting & screaming. You get it, that was upsetting, so it’s easy to feel compassion & use the conscious parenting skills you’ve learnt. This time they get upset about their toast being cut the wrong way. Now you expect them to calm down & be reasonable. They have a meltdown instead of things calming down. The tools haven’t changed, the story you are telling yourself has. This upset is ridiculous, where as the previous one was understandable. Unpicking these unhelpful stories is what I do with my 1:1 clients & in my mastermind. It’s you changing these stories that changes your child’s behaviour and ultimately your family dynamics. It leaves you feeling empowered & confident. I am currently taking on new 1:1 & 2:1 clients.

I became a father at 27. Wasn't ready for what come next (all you dads out there, can you relate?). Now, that little boy I held tight is talking, asking, growing. His laughter heals stress. His smile softens anger His cuddles ease anxiety Making memories with him is all I want. ? Here's how I spend time with my son: 1. I minimise phone and TV time when I'm with him. 2. I let him explore activities like cooking, cleaning, and fixing things with my toolbox. When he was crawling we let him play with cooking pots, grains, and wheat flour. Even if he breaks something, it's all part of the learning process. 3. My wife and I schedule our week together. I work 32 hours, she works 15-20 hours, and the rest of the time, we're with our son, cherishing every moment. Though it doesn't always go as planned, but embrace new routines, cherish quiet moments together. First-time fathers?? Here are advice from lessons I ought to learn: 1. Enjoy time with your wife When a child arrives, your old routine vanishes. Now you will have to adopt the new life where's? there three of you. It's also beautiful, but challenging. ? Prioritize quality time together with spouse. ? Give massages to wife and share favourite meals. ? Enjoy quiet moments. 2. Expressive > cold We hardly get time with our babies as fathers so? be expressive and let your baby and wife know ?you LOVE them. ? Spend quality time with your baby and wife. ? Engage with your new born through play and touch. ? Communicate your emotions and support your wife. 3. Prioritise family My parent's main focus was provision for our? needs. I had only a few moments of their time while I was little, compared to how much I lacked their presence. Value your family time, especially the first 2 years of your child's life. It builds trust, the foundation for everything else. Time with family is worth everything.? ----------- If you love to spend time with family, comment your top 3 favourite emojis.

Our dinner conversations have been evolving. Long gone are the days of “airplane” – aka the interpretive dance of making a morsel of cold chicken appetizing to a toddler in a high chair. And they’ve been replaced by an onslaught of “bruh” and “no cap.” And “skibidi toilet.” If you’re a Gen X parent trying to make sense of this landscape, here’s a quick guide for you. ???????? ???? ?????? ????????! I gotta admit, when it comes to slang I’m ???????? Gen X. After all, ??????Reads is my own homage to the skateboarding sub-culture (and Fast Times at Ridgemont High). I remember dismissing my boomer parents with ????????????????, describing crushes as ????????????’ and using verbal misdirection by punctuating a sentence with ??????! But alas, the roles have been reversed. Now I’m the one combing through TikTok and Reddit grasping to understand what the kids are saying these days. Here’s my best attempt at deciphering it all: ?????? ?????????? vs ?????? ?? Cap - Fo ‘real Rizz - Game Gyatt - Dayum Drip - Swagger Sus - Shady Based - Legit For extra bonus points, here are a few sentences to make things even clearer. Let’s remember that rizz is a noun. ??????’?? ?????? ?????????????? ????????. And that drip (also a noun) is a good thing. “??????’???? ?????? ???????? ??????, ?????? ?????? ?????????? ???????? ?????????????? ???????? ?????? ????????????.“ And you can use cap to call out a lie. (Also, ?? on a social media post) “??????. ????’?? ?????????????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ????????.” ?????? ???????????????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????????????? Why did I dedicate so much mind space to my 10-year-old’s slang? Well, here’s a little story about baby penguins. When a young emperor penguin is born, they spend several months being cared for and nurtured by both parents. Then, as ????????????????????, they leave the colony and spend four years at sea. They then return to the colony as adults, ready to find a mate and start their own families. In this setting, I’m the old ass penguin – using all the tools at my disposal to hold onto the fledglings before they leave the colony.

It's so important to live in the here and now! But how many of us really know the art? We get so caught up in the worries of today and tomorrow, and in the regrets of yesterday, that we forget to make the best use of the here and the now. It's almost as if we're programmed to stress ourselves over the tools of living to the point of being oblivious to the joy of living. I've been recently privy to the life of a kitten, a stray that happens to have taken shelter in the premises of my house. Although my affection for cats and dogs doesn't exactly go beyond those 'cuteness overloaded' reels on Instagram, I was almost forced to become a part of this kitty's life, since it was left abandoned by its parents in our garage space, and had nowhere to go. I've been feeding it, and it's now about two weeks old, slightly more stronger and adorably playful. Watching it grow, not only fills one with fondness, but also, opens one's eyes to the art of living. A cat seems to be so naturally happy and content in its own world! It eats, sleeps, plays, and constantly teaches itself all the necessary skills for survival. It seeks out humans for food and affection, but it also learns to live alone and fend for itself. All this without trying too hard. There's an easy and laid-back attitude of acceptance of the here-and-the-now, finely balanced with a playful determination to be independent and live on its own terms. A lot of our complications arise from the way we look at our life. Through the eyes of others. Our sense of self is defined largely by how others perceive and/or treat us. We depend heavily on other people's validation to feel that we belong. Unfortunately, though, it's not easy to earn and retain it. There are invariably some conditions attached before others think of us as capable and worthy of love, recognition and respect. The more we depend on others' perceptions for feeling good or important about ourselves, the more we're bound to feel cheated or disappointed. For, whenever we fail to meet people's expectations, their perceptions would alter. Which might dent our confidence and lead to a fluctuating self-esteem or self-image. We need to understand that we don't own success even though we may possess a lot of wealth and power and live a comfortable and luxurious life. What we truly own, though, is our core values and sensibilities that define who we are. If we build our sense of the self around what we think, feel, and believe in, instead of what we do, how well we do it, how much we fulfill the needs of our loved ones, we'd free ourselves from the constant urge to having to prove ourselves. We could then grow truly independent and self-assured, and live a more stress-free life, expecting little from others, and not caring too much what people thought of us. When we enjoy an innate sense of peace within ourselves, it translates to how we live, manage our duties, work and relationships. #selfhelp #lifewisdom #wellness
