It's funny you bring up this subject. This was subject in my house recently. Lol
My 27 year old son advice to me was affirmations every morning, but our views differ. Every morning he gets up, looks in the mirror and tells himself how great he is. How handsome, successful,what a sexy bltch he is, how powerful he is and he was telling my 16 year old to do this to build confidence. I tried to tell him It's about making yourself a better person, not adding to your already huge ego. He's a Aries ... what are you going to do?! The ego is already large. He thinks he's god's gift to women and people feed into his ego based on pretty face. My other 3 are humble and down to earth people. God only allows one drama queen per family I think.
I told him I'm trying to change my prospective. My youngest is autistic and we're working on being more positive, having gratitude for everything in life and manifesting healthy good things into our life, helping those less fortunate. More about healty mind, body and soul. My affirmations are I'm enough, welcoming peace,happiness, abundance, love into my life everyday... Always positive as have to be an example first. Working on self improvement, self worth, self esteem, fear, guilt, self sabotage that comes along with grief, so this works for me.
I had a husband that only called me beautiful once in 32 years and that was on his deathbed, controlling, manipulative...so we're all healing.
I know I'm not ugly, but always think there's an alternative motive to men when they call me pretty, sexy, gorgeous or beautiful. What do they want? This is where self sabotage comes in and I run the opposite way. Their is probably a I hate Gia group on here. I really don't care, doing me. 🤣
Raising 4 humans with different personalities I've try to install good core values in my 3 boys and my only daughter. I praised them not on their beauty, but they accomplishments and achievements.
I know that's alittle off topic,but read between my widow brain and there's some good stuff here. Don't be like my son. LoL.
