One of the most common things that I see sucking the joy out of family relationships is the constant worry and anxiety that we as mothers sometimes carry around. We feel an urgency to make sure our kids are thriving and doing things the right way. It sounds nice, but it's often counterproductive. Today I'm reminding us all about a truth that President Dallin H. Oaks taught in the recent general conference.

With the passing of our dear prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, I have been reflecting on the many precious things I have learned from him. While his general conference talks were not specifically issued as "parenting advice," his wise and inspired words have helped me so much in my parenting, and in my family relationships. Today I'm sharing how I have applied his teachings to my parenting, and recognizing how profoundly I have been blessed by following a prophet of God.

What if you were wearing smudged lenses, but you didn't realize it? You would think that the world just looked dirty! Today I'm talking about how the things we believe create our reality.

We can, if we choose, let go of limiting beliefs and choose beliefs that open us up to new possibilities.
