Sometimes we can be marked by the most unfortunate events in our life. It creates an association between the part of our lives when it comes to us and sad feelings that we felt at that moment. This is called a negative anchor. The opposite exists for positive events. Like when we link a certain type of food to our childhood, this food comforts us and cheers us up as an adult. This is called the “comfort food”.
In Neuro Linguistic Programming, we are told that if we associate a positive event with a weight equal to or higher than the negative event, this positive feelings will be “saved” by our brain and associated with this event, reducing or eliminating the trauma that would have been created by the negative event.
Why am I telling you all this? That’s what my friend Lucy and I have tried to do for these two beautiful little girls who had to live, like many others, their parents’ divorce. Rather than let them witness the moving, a special day has been concocted for them: a day of Princess at La Ronde. All this, of course, documented by your humble servant…me.
And here is the story of this wonderful day.
Once upon a time, there was two young girls living in a peaceful kingdom since birth. They had been held in secret their true nature: they were of royal blood and were the last heirs of a distant kingdom, the kingdom of La Ronde. Comes a morning when emissaries of the new kingdom, hitherto unknown, appeared at their door to introduce them into their new role as princess of the kingdom of La Ronde. Mom reassured them before departure, knowing how this adventure would be magical.
The day began with the preparation of the two young ladies. A princess must be style and dressed up accordingly to her rank …
without forgetting, of course, the crowning.
The arrival in their new kingdom took their breath away. A place of vibrant colors and sunshine where all games were allowed.
They sat on the throne of the Great Oak to be presented to their subjects.
Then they were transported on big white steeds to go to the next stop of this journey: the royal banquet!
A banquet of sugar and cotton candy …
That let our two new princesses completely exhausted. Yes,, even princesses need to rest.
Goodnight little princesses
