AFFIRMATIONS FOR DADS

Fatherhood, can sometimes make you feel out of place. You may not feel like you are needed or that you are not able to do much. But you can! The words you speak into your child's life, are important to their mental growth. The love you give, is vital to their emotional well-being. The stability you are able to provide, affects the way they may see life growing up.

Fatherhood, will have its ups and downs, but it’s a learning curve and an experience to cherish. You don't have to have it altogether, but be the Dad that you can be proud of. Take time out to reflect on your journey, take time to look after yourself and most of all, although you are a Dad, you are an individual too.

Here are some affirmations that I put together. I hope these will help you to see yourself, in a different light and most of all, to remind you, that you are AMAZING!

So take a stop for a minute, look at yourself in the mirror and say these with me.

I am important and I am worthy of being a dad

Remember that you are an individual, who have gone through many experiences in life. But the greatest gift for your child; is for you, to recognize; your worth, your value and your importance. There is no competition in parenthood, because YOU as Dad, is what matters.

My presence, creates a positive impact in my child's life.

Yes! Because of who you are, because of the wisdom, the laughter and the warmth you bring, your child can feel the radiation, for your presence illuminates with love and stability. When you hear that giggle, when you see those grades rising, when you see that your child wants to be like you, let that show you, that you are being a GREAT role model!

I will continue to be, the best dad, that I can be.

Always remember, that being a dad is like going on a roller-coaster ride. There will be some bumpy roads, there will be the laughter, there will be screams, there will fear and there will be joy. BUT as long as you continue, to be the BEST dad that YOU can be, you are already overcoming the hurdles and the challenges.

I will embrace the highs and lows, for fatherhood is a blessing.

There will be highs and lows, but Fatherhood, is and will always be a learning curve. Being a father, is about embracing every chapter in your story. I know that you got this, because you are still trying, you are still elevating and you are still making ways to leaving a legacy behind. You are more than blessed.

I will love unconditionally, for I am grateful to share my heart with my bundle of joy.

Isn’t it beautiful, being able to share apart of who you are, with your bundle of joy? Your heart, is full of full gratitude, it’s full of contentment, it is full of understanding and patience and that unconditional love, will be the thing, that will cause a bond, that only you both can feel. Let love, guide you.

Whatever is happening around me, I know where I stand as a Dad.

Sometimes life, may knock you off your feet. It may cause you to question your ability as Dad, but I hope that whatever happens around you, you will ALWAYS know, feel and see where you stand as a dad. Being a Dad, is more than a title. It is a gift, that should never be taken for granted. So when you feel in doubt, just think about the smiles and the glimmer of hope, in your child’s eye, and remember that you are a special human being!

I will always honor and cherish every moment spent with my child.

As you know, time flies by and with a blink of an eye, your child is an adult. So it is important to keep spending time, keep teaching and showing your child the way of life. Learn together, have fun together and make memories together. Always honor and cherish every moment, because I’m sure they do they too!

I hope you found these useful and remember you are doing a GREAT job xx
