THE STORY OF HER SELF-IDENTITY
Everyone has a story they tell themselves about themselves.
Your daughter does, too.
It is a fully developed story with
a TITLE,
a BEGINNING,
a MIDDLE,
lots of different CHAPTERS -
which are made up of hundreds of little stories...
and a CONCLUSION.
Or rather, many conclusions.
And these conclusions from each little story
make up her SELF-IDENTITY.
Perhaps with thoughts such as:
I’m just not very confident.
Or I’m not creative.
It’s hard for me to make friends.
Or I’ve never been very athletic.
But things that happen to her in her life actually DO NOT determine her relationship with herself - how confident or creative she is, or how many friends she has.
Rather, what matters is how she decides to THINK about anything that happens to her...
ON PURPOSE.
BECAUSE THE CONCLUSIONS SHE DRAWS
FROM EACH STORY IN HER LIFE
DICTATE HOW SHE THEN SHOWS UP FOR HERSELF.
This is the reason why famous actresses, powerful CEOs, Olympic champions… can (and often) still feel inadequate, insecure, or just not good enough.
Because it is never about WHAT YOU DO…
But rather, HOW YOU THINK about all the things you do or don’t do that fuel your life.
So at GIRLS REVOLUTION we teach Moms how to help their daughters take control of these conclusions, some of which might possibly be weighing her down, and instead write powerful stories that give her momentum forward.
Because as her Mom, it is in knowing WHAT TO SAY when life happens to her, that creates the most powerful opportunity for her growth.
Perhaps when your daughter is scared…
Or when she says something mean about her body.
Or when you notice her people pleasing, giving up, or giving her power away in some way.
Often it is in these emotional moments that we can best help her through the challenges, targeting those micro-moments from her life.
And we can help her step into her power, no matter what happens to her…
One powerful conclusion at a time.
