What a beautiful quote from the brilliant chinese prophet lao-tzu, during the week i was doing a charity yoga class with a group of kids ages 7 to 12, well it was a great class but also a sad class, wow i never realized how self conscious our kids truly are. I have wrote many times about tips to empower our kids with positive affirmations these powerful affirmations are little strong statements that we should get our kids to constantly say to themselves to instill inner confidence. I had kids talk about how they practice taking selfies untill they get the perfect picture to post as their profile picture! I had kids talk about how their m**s will take selfies all day and learn them the perfect pout! π’ i was horrified now dont get me wrong i know our culture is probably nearing self obsession , i see it all the time the constant selfies changed on our profile pictures every day constant facebook pictures, the pouts the pose, its all how we look how people see us but this is how we lose ourselves this is how we start to negatively compare ourselves not see the real us. Our kids are growing up not realizing its their good hearts , their good deeds they do for others, the kind words they say, their empathy to the bad in the world like world poverty they show that important. They are just all watching parents and the world around them turn into social media models ( not in all cases) lets start learning our kids they are beautiful inside and out, let them learn to be at one with themselves to truly look in the mirror and say out loud.. I AM TRULY BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE MYSELF. πππππ
