Going through the self-improvement process, I am sure that you have come to realise that there are so many bad traits that we were programmed with from an early age. And just how hard it can be to replace them with positive empowering programs to enable us to succeed.
So being a parent makes you think that it would be nice to not subject your kids to these negative attributes to save them the trouble of having to reprogram at a later date.
Now, this can be a real challenge. But what I have done is habitualise a bedtime routine for my kids that will empower them as they grow older.
And I would love to share that with you now.
It is worth pointing out that this is a great routine for anyone to implement at the end of the day before they retire, not just the kids but adults too.
So now to their empowering routine. One of my 2 girls at a time.
Firstly I ask her to tell me 3 things that she is thankful for from the day. Giving thanks is extremely powerful and I explain to her that the more thanks she gives, the more great things she will receive in her life to be thankful for in the future.
Next is something that day that she did to help someone else. This encourages being thoughtful for others and also makes her feel good inside for being a caring person.
And the final part for this phase is to talk about something that she tried new today. That could be a new action like reading in front of the class at school or something simple like trying a new type of food.
I have noticed that kids these days are taught to play it safe all the time and are often scared to try new things in case they fail.
This is the polar opposite approach for being a successful entrepreneur. I am therefore encouraging them to try new things regularly so that failure becomes part of life and not something to fear and therefore avoid.
The second phase starts with recognising the beauty in themselves. Not just in the physical sense but also inner beauty.
So I ask her to describe something that she did today that is making her more beautiful, again I am trying to ensure that she realises that she is beautiful and to have an inner confidence.
One of my daughters is naturally confident while the other really struggles so that is something that we are working on together.
Next is to tell me something that she did today that is going to make her successful in life. This is often writing the daily story.
Then we discuss something she did today that has made her smarter than yesterday. That is pretty easy, especially during a school day. This is to encourage the mindset of continual growth.
And finally she states the following out loud:
‘I am beautiful, I am successful and I am smart’
3 times. Again to build inner confidence.
So there you have it. This is something that we do pretty much every night and has become such a positive habit that they get upset if anything happens and we run out of time at the end of the day and we are likely to miss it.
This is a routine that I believe will empower anyone who undertakes it on a regular basis and is lime with man o the great teachings that I have come across in a multitude of books.
I hope that you take great value from this and incorporate some or all of the above routine into your life either for the benefit of your kids, yourself or the whole family.
Dream big and take action 👍
