  Carrie Lingenfelter: If I were in a social situation and somebody maybe said something about me and I didn't like it and it made me feel gross but I knew it wasn't true, am I going to go and spread hatred, mean things about another person?
• 0:20
  Carrie Lingenfelter: No, because if we're looking at the magnetism in life, that means that somebody else is going to go do that about me or that means somebody is going to be feeling those gross vibes about me.

  Carrie Lingenfelter: That's not what I want.

  Carrie Lingenfelter: I want to spread positivity.

  Carrie Lingenfelter: I want to change my mindset into okay, that person is not somebody that I'm going to have a deep meaningful connection with right now, but I'm going to focus instead on deep, meaningful connections with spiritual people that I connect with.

• 1:46
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Hi, and welcome back to this mini episode.
• 1:47
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm so excited to have you guys here today.
• 1:50
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I am working on something myself and I thought it was a perfect opportunity to share it with you guys.
• 1:57
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We're going to have some ideas of mantras we can say to ourselves, prayers we can say to ourselves and some affirmations that we can do during meditations and such.
• 2:07
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Today we're going to be talking about positivity.
• 2:10
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I understand there's the piece of toxic positivity, but I'm here to say there are pieces that we can still do with positivity that can turn up better in the long run for us as parents, as intuitive people, just as humans in general.
• 2:29
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, positivity is something that I am encompassing this year 2025.
• 2:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I had that phrase light me up, where I'm looking as challenges, as opportunities to heal, grow and learn, and along with that comes positivity, and I know that there's the toxic positivity, but let's focus on the mindset changes that we can do.
• 2:54
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So when we talk about positivity I've talked about this a lot I think this is really good for us to be models of role, models of it for our kids, because they're entering into a world that can be overstimulating, challenging and just hard on our pieces of being a human.
• 3:14
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So when we think about these positivity pieces, it leads us this room for being open to what the earth, what the world can bring us right.
• 3:27
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It also helps us to not put these layers of protection around us If we are wanting to retreat from the world, if we are wanting to lessen our connection with ourselves, lessen our connection with the world, lessen our connection even with our kids.
• 3:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: When we're having a hard day, all of these different pieces that we're putting on ourselves and protecting ourselves and closing ourselves off, that is not going to help you hear your heart, that is not going to help you connect with your kids, that is not going to help you connect with the world.
• 4:00
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So you can see these opportunities that are brought to you or doors that are opened for you, things you are meant to learn If you're not in tune with yourself and not connected with yourself, how are you going to heal, grow, change or learn?
• 4:15
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I want you guys to know that any challenge is going to be hard, it's going to knock you down, it's going to surprise you.
• 4:30
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Sometimes it's going to hit you in the gut and no matter what spiritual guru you are, you still need to tune into the mindset pieces of looking for the positive, looking toward the universe.
• 4:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: In what am I meant to heal, grow, learn, change in this challenge right now?
• 4:49
  Carrie Lingenfelter: But also don't forget that in the world, in our universe, there is the piece of magnetism.
• 4:59
  Carrie Lingenfelter: There is a magnet for energy.
• 5:01
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So any energy that you put out there, you're going to receive.
• 5:06
  Carrie Lingenfelter: If I were in a social situation and somebody maybe said something about me and I didn't like it and it made me feel gross, but I knew it wasn't true, am I going to go and spread hatred, mean things about another person?
• 5:22
  Carrie Lingenfelter: No, because if we're looking at the magnetism in life, that means that somebody else is going to go do that about me or that means somebody is going to be feeling those gross vibes about me.
• 5:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: That's not what I want.
• 5:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I want to spread positivity.
• 5:37
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I want to change my mindset into okay, that person is not somebody that I'm going to have a deep, meaningful connection with right now, but I'm going to focus instead on deep, meaningful connections with spiritual people that I connect with.
• 5:54
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm going to focus my energy into what it is that I'm wanting.
• 5:58
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm going to not go around and talk about it with other people.
• 6:03
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Maybe I have to get it out because I have to vent at home with my husband or my partner, somebody that I truly trust and connect with that I know isn't going to share any of it.
• 6:11
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Maybe I need to do some of these meditative pieces that I'm going to share with you.
• 6:17
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Also, it can be used in a parenting pattern too.
• 6:21
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So if we're thinking about how our kids Maybe, if I'm thinking, oh, it's so annoying that my kid can't be flexible, I just want to pick them up from school and go to the grocery store.
• 6:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I know normally when we come home, we have our snack, we do our singing bowl, we have this whole procedure that my kid can't.
• 6:41
  Carrie Lingenfelter: They just be flexible.
• 6:42
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Maybe we can change that mindset into let me help my kid find one small, flexible piece.
• 6:49
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Let me help my kid maybe not do the singing bowl right when we get home.
• 6:54
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Maybe we could do it right before dinner.
• 6:56
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Let me help my kid find something that their body can handle, and I'm changing my mindset into what I don't want to see, into what I do want to see, because of that magnet piece.
• 7:08
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Right, we want to feel that magnet energy of what we want coming back toward us.
• 7:15
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So I love this idea of using affirmations, chants, prayers when we're meditating, and one of them I was recently doing a project and it talked about inhaling what we want, exhaling what we don't want.
• 7:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: That's a big one in energy work, right?
• 7:35
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So let's get into.
• 7:37
  Carrie Lingenfelter: When you get into a deep meditation and you guys, you choose your path to get there, you can just focus on your breathing, you can feel the chair that you're sitting on your feet on the floor, all of those pieces to help you calm your body and connect deeper, raise your awareness.
• 7:58
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So an example of one I would use is I inhale patience, I exhale impulsivity, and you say it three times I inhale patience, I exhale impulsivity, I inhale patience.
• 8:21
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Ooh, that's a good one, mamas and daddies, I exhale impulsivity.
• 8:26
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Now another one that I like I inhale compassion.
• 8:32
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I I exhale judgment.
• 8:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So do that one three times.
• 8:36
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I inhale strength, I exhale weakness, and one of the things that I love to do is have an affirmation, a prayer, something that helps me to connect with myself, and I like to say it maybe three times a day, and sometimes I do it before school pickup I am confident about my parenting and our amazing future, no matter what is occurring at this moment.
• 9:07
  Carrie Lingenfelter: That would be a powerful one to say to yourself when your kid is having a meltdown I am confident about my parenting and our amazing future, no matter what is occurring at this moment.
• 9:19
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We're changing that mindset.
• 9:21
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We're thinking about the future.
• 9:23
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We're not going into the rabbit hole of oh my gosh, my kid is having a meltdown, they're never gonna stop.
• 9:27
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Ah, he's turning 10 soon.
• 9:28
  Carrie Lingenfelter: How is he having this meltdown?
• 9:29
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Oh gosh, do I need to get?
• 9:30
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Ah, he's turning 10 soon.
• 9:31
  Carrie Lingenfelter: How is he having this meltdown?
• 9:32
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Oh gosh, do I need to get more OT?
• 9:34
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Do I get more counseling?
• 9:36
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Do I need to go do Reiki?
• 9:37
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Like Carrie said, reiki helps with the kids.
• 9:39
  Carrie Lingenfelter: No, stay out of the rabbit hole, connect with yourself.
• 9:43
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Try this affirmation, prayer, parenting.
• 9:46
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Try to focus on the change that you want to see, because guess what?
• 9:53
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Even this 42-year-old mama, she still has her meltdowns right.
• 9:56
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Highly sensitive people.
• 9:57
  Carrie Lingenfelter: We all have that overstimulating moment.
• 10:00
  Carrie Lingenfelter: It's part of being a human and having compassion for ourselves.
• 10:04
  Carrie Lingenfelter: So one last thing I want to leave you with, and this is one that just it just really hit me and I love this one and I'm just gonna keep saying this.
• 10:15
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I think I'm gonna write it on my mirror.
• 10:17
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I texted it to myself before the kids come out of school.
• 10:20
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I'm gonna say it before I go to bed.
• 10:22
  Carrie Lingenfelter: When I wake up in the morning and I do a little mini meditation half asleep, I'm going to say I am open to good in my life, now and always, and so it is.
• 10:33
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's say that one again, because I love that one.
• 10:37
  Carrie Lingenfelter: I am open to good in my life, now and always, and so it is.
• 10:46

  Carrie Lingenfelter: I hope it can help you connect with yourself.
• 10:51
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Oh, that one that I just said.
• 10:53
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's teach our kids this one.
• 10:55
  Carrie Lingenfelter: This is a perfect one to say before we go to school.
• 10:59
  Carrie Lingenfelter: This is a perfect one to say as we're shaking off the energy of the day and walking to the car.
• 11:05
  Carrie Lingenfelter: Let's help our kids feel empowered, especially our sensitive kiddos.
