Have you ever potty trained a 12-month-old? 

My sister and I had babies just 5 weeks apart. On her baby’s first birthday, she started potty training by setting her alarm every hour, on the hour. Her little one did very well with that method, and it was a success.

I took the more laid-back approach with my children. I wanted to see signs that they were interested and ready. However, when my baby was 18-months, I started getting pressure from my mom about getting my little one potty trained. I caved! 

I caved to the pressure from someone thinking my mom knew what was best for my child. Sadly, it was not a great experience.

She tried so hard, but there were many accidents, plus, she wasn’t sleeping through the night dry, which was a good indicator that she wasn’t ready to be potty trained.

I ended up taking my tiny toddler to the doctor—thinking there must be something wrong with her. He did tests, one of which was inserting a catheter to check the bladder. Ouch! 

The results… a small bladder. That was it. A small bladder, along with the advice to wait to potty train.

I regret not listening to my mama heart and not trusting that I knew what was best for my child. 

Can you think of a time when you felt pressured to do something that just didn’t feel right?

Don’t ever give into pressure. You have an inner compass, or conscience.

Some people will tell you to “listen to your heart”, or “what is your gut telling you”—pay attention, because it will help give you the courage and discernment to stand strong.

I like to take it a step further and pray often and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit. There is a great strength in having that additional help when you are feeling pressured (or any time, for that matter).

The Holy Spirit is a comforter and a spirit of truth. He will give you peace and you will have clarity in your inspired decision.

If you are feeling pressured now, or have in the past. See the dose of enlightenment below to release that pressure valve.

With love,

Jeri

Today’s emotion is: pressured

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how pressured applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 86 + 914 = E

Say it out loud with intent: "eighty-six plus nine-fourteen equals enlightenment.”
