How to teach teen boys self-care

Oh those tender teen years. So much questioning, so many hormones, some doubt, fear, discovering one-self, defining your life. It was scary and intimidating sometimes and boy does COMPARISON to others really come into play causing all kinds of insecurity and also misplaced confidence. Don’t you, as a parent, wish you could impart all you’ve learned about the nonsense of caring about what other people think, to your kids? Or maybe your inner child is still struggling with this in adulthood (enter THAT mom in your social media feed who has it ALL together, supposedly….PUKE!)

Well, I found these affirmations, called “Affirmators” – they are DOPE! It’s not a full online course on discovering, accepting, and loving yourself BUT, they are fun talking points, and mostly chuckle-provoking, for around the dinner table or whenever (yes, we actually have family dinners now that we’re all stuck at home with each other…..sshhhhh…. I LOVE having my teenagers home for dinner! Hate COVID-19, love that my teens are stuck with me).

Here’s a couple of examples:

The Compassion Box

Some of my favorite literature is written by Pema Chödrön, the beloved Buddhist nun.
She offers teachings on:

  • becoming fearless
  • breaking free of destructive patterns
  • developing patience, kindness, and joy amid our everyday struggles
  • unlocking our natural warmth, intelligence, and goodness

We already have everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves – the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds – never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake.
Looking at ourselves this way is very different from our usual habit. From this perspective we don’t need to change: you can feel as wretched as you like, and you’re still a good candidate for enlightenment. You can feel like the world’s most hopeless basket case, but that feeling is your wealth, not something to be thrown out or improved upon. – Pema Chödrön

The Resurrection Plant

Rose of Jericho. The Resurrection Plant. A reminder that new beginnings can be invoked anytime throughout the year. Here’s to renewed life for each each of us, in every individual form it takes in our lives. “Start anew. Again and again. Every moment of our lives we can start anew.” – Pema Chödrön.

“For some of us, reviving ourselves after a period of dormancy – either physical or mental – can prove to be a considerable challenge. It’s in these restful moments that we explore the creative realm of silence, where plans are made, and dreams are born.”

“The day has to fall to make way for the night and the night has to surrender its place so the day can have its turn. This strikes me as a holy rhythm. I wonder if whatever created this rhythm of the tides and the sky and the sun and the moon has a holy rhythm for my life, too. I consider that perhaps I’m in the middle of a cycle. Maybe there is a time for everything. Maybe there is a timekeeper.”
