Tiny Power

One of my friend’s 8 years old daughter was not eating well. She has always been lean. She is an extremely smart kid and an avid reader. However, one day when she was in school Teacher told her during the lunch break “ You skeleton you need to finish your lunch.” To this, all kids in the class started bullying her and holding her saying how light she was. They even told her to look very tiny and?light and started commenting on her being thin…

This child was upset, kept on crying, and was depressed for days.

Her mother told her "My dear child no one is perfect but we have to deal with different situations in life. You are a smart and strong girl”.

Then I told my friend to contact her teacher or e-mail her, to which she replied, "I will, but my daughter has to learn to fight her own battle. She will meet many such people in her life."

What happened to our surprise was this girl went home and made a card for herself.

The card was titled “Pages of Possibilities”.” I am tiny power”.

“Nothing is impossible if I am doing it”.

“I love myself”

“I am Awesome.”

“I am strong and not everyone will love me but my parents and best friend will always love me.”

“I am the Best and no one can stop me”.

“She even said I am tiny power “

When my friend saw this card she got goosebumps and so did i and started thinking how does this little girl understand so much? How can she write affirmations like these days we try to teach adults? My friend was also surprised at this.

The little girl took this card to school every day and it helped her to get power.

There is so much to learn from this powerful girl.

We as adults miss on dealing with our emotions.

Affirmations help us to communicate better with ourselves. Especially when we write them down in words.

So people in case someone hurts you or makes you feel bad…there is no point in cribbing, crying, or feeling sad about the same. Why do we stay with the same emotion and feel worse? Why do we overpower and live with those negative thoughts??

Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to?challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. When you repeat them often and believe in them you can start to make positive changes.

?When you truly believe you can do something, your actions often follow.

For example, you might replace a negative or anxious thought, like:

“I’m so terrible at interviews. I’m probably not even as qualified as the other candidates. There’s no way they’ll hire me, I should just leave.”

With a positive affirmation:

“ I have all the skills and experience needed. They will hire me. I am the best".

If you use affirmations before your interview, you may feel more relaxed. Knowing you are fully prepared may also help you to avoid self-sabotage.

Remember Affirmations have the power to change so let's begin this journey and be affirmative.
