Why Self-Love Affirmations Work & How to Use Them to Your Advantage
In 1954, a kid peddled across the neighborhood on his bicycle in search of free food.
There was an exhibition for black businesses and free candy, popcorn, and hot dogs were promised at the venue so the young boy got in and stayed. But after getting what he came for, he left the exhibition only to discover that his red and white Schwinn bike was gone.
Being furious, he told a policeman that what he desired most was to beat up the person who stole his bike. It was then that the policeman suggested that he had better learn how to fight before confronting people…
4 Ways Being Raised by a Narcissistic Parent Can Affect You in Adulthood
Parent-child relationships can have a hint of drama, especially during the teenage phase.
However, when your parent is a narcissist, this drama is part of your life despite age, and it can leave a long-lasting scar. Sadly, because this scar has been there your whole life, you might not even notice it unless you pay close attention.

One Positive Action
The Legacy Question
Let's imagine your family relationships five years from now. What emotional energy do you want to feel? Do you dream of adult children who call just to chat, siblings who feel like true friends, or a partner who still actively chooses you? It's a great question to ask ourselves: are our current actions truly building that beautiful future?
We often navigate life on autopilot, repeating old patterns and reacting instead of responding thoughtfully. It’s easy to feel surprised when our relationships don’t quite match our hopes! The wonderful news is that it’s not about grand gestures. The beautiful gap between your desired and current relationships can be filled by your present choices.
Here’s a fantastic way to approach this: reverse-engineer your legacy! Start with the specific relationship you want and work backward. Then, ask yourself, "What specific behavior of mine makes that possible?" Once you define that behavior, commit to it consistently. Keep showing up and don't wait for others to change; be the one to go first. This is how you build an incredible legacy: through intentional, repeated acts of love that gently rewrite the patterns.
Dedicate just 30 minutes to reflect on one key family relationship. Picture how you want it to feel emotionally five years from now. Then, pick one specific behavior you can start practicing to build that version of the relationship, and commit to it for one month.
