Moms and Affirmative Action

Affirmation…………… ef.fur.ma.shun.: to declare POSITIVELY true, to confirm without a doubt. People use it as a verb “I Affirm” or adjective, Affirmative, Affirmatively.

Perhaps the most often used and well-known affirmation is the word "Amen," which can be translated simply as "so be it" or "and so it is," affirming the truth of whatever was
Written or said immediately prior. While often used to conclude prayer, the word itself is neutral as to its context and exemplifies a logical affirmation more than a spiritual
one.

How do we use affirmations to help our young girls appreciate and love who they are? Of course, self love and appreciation is the first step to realizing the essence of true beauty. We can tell our daughters how beautiful they are, buy them the hottest new clothes, tell them to respect themselves and their bodies, but until they actually believe it themselves it doesn’t matter.

Help your child write her own Affirmation Contract:
(example: “I love the beauty of my face, the curl in my hair, the skin above and within”…” I will not let anyone tell my I can’t, I’m not, I will never”….. add in your own thoughts and words to complete. In our Affirmation, we are saying that without any doubt, I believe that these things are true.
Print it out and let her sign it, like contract. Post it up in her room.

Mom’s we get so busy taking care of our lives that we don’t take always takes time to show ourselves love. The best gift to your family is a happy, self-fulfilled mother.

I hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day.
