At a very young age children begin to mimic the actions, words, and behaviors of others. Children will look to their mothers, fathers, grandparents, older siblings, and even their teachers to begin defining their ideal "perfect" self-image. We, as adults tend to think that as long as we provide these children with the "rules" and the "corrections" when they break these "rules, we are doing our part as parents/ guardians. But how often do we consider the "rules" we break in front of them and what that is teaching them? For instance; we tell our children "if you don't have something nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all." Ironically enough though, how often do we say not so nice things about ourselves in front of them, or get to chatting with friends or family and end up talking about someone else in a negative way? We tell our children they should love themselves and stand up for who they are with confidence. WE MUST SHOW THEM HOW to do this and we can do so by starting to love ourselves the way we hope for our children to love themselves! We must stand up for what is right for ourselves and others in the way we hope and pray our children will always feel strong and confident enough to do. We must reflect the love, happiness, and peace we want our children to experience and live. We can no longer sit back and expect words to be enough. Let us stand together as parents, grandparents, children, teachers, students, friends, and family and help one another awaken to the true beauty within ourselves and this mysterious and amazing world. Fear, doubt, and worry are not worthy of us, we must let them go!
Suggestion:
**Meditation is highly suggested. Meditation with your children is a way to connect with them in a truly beautiful and life changing way. For those of you that are new to meditation, there are endless guided meditations on YouTube for both adults and children.
**Morning and night, positive affirmations. Begin working together as a family to see yourselves, one another, and life in a more loving and positive lighting. For those new to affirmations, I would love to invite you to join me on Facebook on the group 21 Day Affirmation Challenge (Created by Reiki with Grace). It is a great idea to start and end each day with positive affirmations.
**Start rewiring those negative tendencies by correcting every negative thought, word, actions, and feeling with exactly seven positives. For example if you catch yourself having negative thoughts towards yourself, correct it with something like, (1)"I am beautiful and (2)smart. (3) I am at peace with myself and all that is going on within and around me. (4) Today will be great. (5) I am attracting positive and loving vibrations into my day. (6) I am Divinely connected and love being me. (7) I walk with confidence and love for myself and all that is aligned with my path.
Love and Light beautiful souls- Grace
