Blessing Mistakes

About the book

Using this simple 3-second stress-stopping strategy can dissolve 50% of the stress in a household on day 1 of using it! Not only does it end the stress involved with mistakes, but negativity evaporates within seconds when you use it. 

One day I was driving my dad’s too-big truck in his too-small corral and put a dent in it. When I told him and apologized, he opened his arms wide for me to walk into for a hug and said, “It doesn’t matter a particle.” On that day, I learned how to give myself and others Grace instead of grief when a mistake is made. There’s magic in the message, “You matter more than the mistake.” 

The way we react to mistakes causes a lot of stress. Despite being taught otherwise, we have the ability to show love to ourselves and others when a mistake is made. Devaluing another human being when they make a mistake is not towards our own wellbeing. We feel awful inside when we do it. That’s because shaming another person is not a part of our nature so it causes discomfort in us.
