Affirming Their Greatness!

1. Affirming Their Greatness!
(From 26 Ways To Empower Your Children)


From the moment they are born, we give them our love. We hold them, and cuddle them, and spend hours admiring our new little member of our family. We have this abundance of love for them. Not only should we feel it, but we should say it.


Affirmations are positive statements, ...completely positive.


As a Mum, I have always been aware of how powerful my words are. How one word can lift someone's spirit or completely tear them apart. It has the same, if not a bigger effect on our children. I have always been conscious of what words I used when I spoke to them. I wanted to develop powerful, positive kids that believed anything was possible!


I spent time with them and taught them things eg. huge dinasour names, how to jump, how to run fast, the different shapes, and just how to have fun. And at every moment I was their to tell them how great they were.
"You're a Champion!"
"Yes, you CAN do it!"
"Yes, you DID it! Well Done!"
"You're Amazing!"
"You are Beautiful."


Tell them they are amazing, tell them they are beautiful. Tell them that they CAN do things. Do not let your fears keep them small. Yes, they are little, and precious, and need taking care of, but my kids believed that anything was possible, because I believed that for them first.


Parents ussually find it easy to do when they are little and cute, but seem to forget that they still need and want to hear that as they grow. Always, give them a hug and tell them they are great. When they say something, it's so easy to respond with "I think you're amazing!" Share positive thoughts with them. You are training their minds how to think, which in turn has an effect on how they feel. Are you always complaining about life? Or speaking about the wonderful things that are happening around you? We all have things that we can be grateful for.


Just think of how you feel when someone tells you you're great, when someone says I love you, I think you're amazing! Yes, most of us probably haven't heard that one for a while. But how would you feel if someone held that belief for you, and not only thought it, but told you! How different would your day be?


Well our kids feel the same as we do. And I want to know that if my kids are at home, or the moment they walk out that door, that they have belief in themselves.


****** My daughter JESS (11yrs) would like to share her thoughts: *********************
"Whenever I walk into the bathroom or my bedroom I notice that Mum has written a couple of affirmations on the mirrors and shower windows. Mum is constantly telling us to read them everytime we go to brush our teeth or wash our hands. And she always teaches us about them, that they can help you to become a better, healthier or a more outgoing person and they can really change your life. My favourite affirmation is "I am powerful beyond measure". "

You see! She is wonderful! :)


Make it a great day!

26 Ways To Empower Your Children!

Yes, we all have awesome kids! I look at mine everyday and I am trully blessed to be able to share my life with them. That's not to say they are perfect al of the time. And they do get into trouble just like every other child. But one thing they do have is this ability to see the world as it is. They have their place in this world, and they fill it beautifully.

The one constant thing in my life is other people's admiration of who my children are. Their knowledge of what is possible in their life is well beyond their years. This is not to say that we will not have situations come up in the future. As they grow they will push boundaries, which in turn will push my buttons! But we will deal with them as they come.

Jack, the eldest, 13yrs, has always been seen as the Leader at school. From kindergarden teachers have always been amazed at his Leadership skills, kids are drawn to him. He is outgoing and will do almost anything to help someone in need. A great sportsman!
Jess is 11yrs and has also achieved great success at school. This year she has excelled as School Captain. People are drawn to her, she has a beautiful kind spirit. Also excells at sport, has been awarded Age Sports Champion every year since kindergarden!
Then we have our little Jade, about to turn 3. She is all about bags and shoes, and proving she can do it all. She also gives beautiful hugs and kisses too. She is feisty! But that's her way of saying she's a big girl and expressing her individuality. We all think she's fabulous!

Now, you may be thinking, "oh, that's easy for you! Because you have a perfect family, or everything's all rosy in your life." ....NO! That's exactly what makes these kids so amazing! They have been through way more than they should have. Divorce, seperation, moves, all toys in boxes, leaving one place.. going to another. Yes, and I am responsible for it all.
And everyone has been ready to point the finger at me and say "See, see how they have turned out, look at all their issues." Which would have torn me apart. But the opposite is true.

These children are like gifts from God. They are amazing. They are normal! And they are real! With the knowledge and inner strength they possess, even they don't realise how powerful they are. People 2 and 3 times their age do not possess their amazing awareness and attitude towards life.

Someone very special to me once said, "If I am in your life or not, I know that you and the kids will be great. As a unit, you are great with someone, or without. You will always be great"

And it's true! It's something we talk about every now and then. We know that no matter what outside influences there are, or what the future brings, we just know that we will always be O.K. We see the best in every situation, so we experience the best. It's our closeness that gets us through.

So with that said, I would like to share, what actually came quite natural to me, and has made a huge impact on all our lives. When we empower our children, we let their gifts shine. They shine as individual, and they know that there is comfort in having someone that they can fall back on.

These are just small things that I have done constantly with my children, that have had huge results. Put these in place and you'll be amazed at the little people who share your house.
And they are yours!

Enjoy!
The first lesson will be posted in the next couple of days.

Make it a Great Day!

P.S. - I may even include a thought from one of my children on the selected topic.

Just Wanted To Let You Know ....

Just wanted to let you know ......

What beautiful energy you have. It surrounds you.

Why do you doubt yourself? You hide your gifts instead of sharing them with the world. It's your inner being that is so beautiful, so gentle, so caring. Yet you keep it locked away.

I'm here to let you know it's OK to let it out. Let it go. That is the real you. From that place inside is where the connection is made.

Put your hand on your heart. Be conscious of your breath. Connect with me through your heart. See me sitting close to you.

Place your hand in mine. We are friends. I am here for you. We are one. We are all connected through our spirit. You can feel it too. Feel my energy drawing you closer to me.

I believe you are amazing.

I send you my love ...

Effective Action!

Yes, we are all so busy, "doing" so many things, but are the things we are choosing to do, just keeping us busy/distracted, or are we taking Effective Action. I have read the book The Science of Getting Rich before, and then I heard Bob Proctor read it in an audio, and this chapter just blew me away!

I am where I am today because of the actions I have chosen. The actions I have taken have got me to where I am, is this where I want to stay? Is this what I came here for?

Yes there is a lot of action going on in my world, but really when I am honest, how much of that is "effective action", how many of my actions are going to give me the results that I desire?

ACTIONS = RESULTS
EFFECTIVE ACTS = SUCCESS
INEFFECTIVE ACTS = FAILURE

Which is just awesome! Because once again WE are in control of our future. It is our responsibility. I now apply this to every area of my life.
I constantly read the passage below just to remind me of what is important.

And now when I sit at my computer I am AWARE that only the ACTIONS that produce a desired result are the ones that are important for that day, that hour, that minute!
And it's amazing when we work with the Universe.....
we do an Effective Action and we see a Result!!!
Expect it ...it's on it's way! :)
Here it is, so powerful:

EFFECTIVE ACTION
"Every day is either a successful day or a day of failure. And, it is the successful days which get you what you want. If every day is a failure, you can never get rich; if every day is a success, you cannot help but get rich.

If there is something that may be done today and you do not do it, you have failed insofar as that thing is concerned. And, the consequences may be more disastrous than you imagine.

You cannot foresee the results of even the most trivial act. You do not know the workings of all the forces that have been set moving in your behalf. Much may be depending on your doing some simple act; it may be the very thing which is to open the door of opportunity to great possibilities. You can never know all the combinations which Supreme Power is making for you in the world of things and of human affairs. Your neglect or failure to do some small thing may cause a long delay in getting you what you want.

Do, every day, all that can be done that day.

..........Every act is, in itself, either effective or ineffective. Every ineffective act is a failure, and if you spend your life doing ineffective acts, your whole life will be a failure. The more things you do, the worse for you, if all your acts are ineffective ones.

On the other hand, every effective act is a success in itself, and if every act of your life is an effective one, your whole life must be a success. -The Science Of Getting Rich.


EXPECT SUCCESS !

CHOICES

"Choice is an illusion. Do I do this -do I do that -all of this is confusion. I can only choose when I'm confused. When I know clearly, there is no choice." -Eldon Taylor.

When I am clear about what I want, I have direction in my life, I don't have to choose... I just know what needs to be done and my life just flows.

This is not something that has come easy, it is a matter of practice, to choose the right decision, the right action. When you become aware of how powerful you are, and how every choice you make NOW affects your future, you will live in the moment and be aware of what is important. The more you choose the positive, and reject the negative, the more positive you will attract, until your life just flows and constant positive situations and people are presented to you. When the negative does show up, well it no longer belongs in your life, and you do not accept it.

It is a matter of choice. I chose a new life, I chose to surround myself with amazing people, leaders that live BIG. It's no longer a choice, it is just a way of life. I now assist others in changing their lives.

First, you make the choice, and then you live the life of your dreams.
