Mirror Messages: 21 Days to Encourage and Empower Yourself

A simple tool to move through the grief into the growth experience of widowhood.

HELLO THERE, WE ARE SO GRATEFUL YOU FOUND Widow Life, hosted by Modern Widows Club® | The Movement for Widow Care (MWC) today.

What we’ve created here is everything we hoped to find in widowhood as a continual source of love, community, resources and inspiration in this new experience that none expected to find ourselves in. We get it. We are right there with you.

What we have for you today is a little bit of inspiration for signing up for Widow Life.

And it all started when I was curious to see if there was a way to encourage widows to do one small act of kindness towards themselves and whether it would make a positive difference in their life.

We call this Sticky Note Inspiration for a reason. It’s meant to inspire you each morning you wake up, but we need your participation to make it happen. Read on.

STEP ONE All you’ll need are 3 things:

1. A sticky note

2. A pen or pencil

3. A moment to think of one inspirational note or quote that fits you

Here’s one simple thing you can do to love yourself and encourage each day you wake up.... because we can all use that, right!!

Many MWC ladies have used this simple tool to move through the grief into the growth experience of widowhood. The way it works is simple and everyone can do this, especially you. You got this.

“Right now, take one simple sticky note and write one inspirational affirmation, note, quote, saying, poem, statement, verse, something that resonates in a positive way with you – especially the future you are becoming.” - Carolyn Moor

This love note is intended to bring you forward to a place and time where you believe its full meaning 100% without a doubt. So the idea is to write something that you hope, want and believe to be true for your future.

STEP TWO

Take your inspired sticky note and place it on your bathroom mirror....right where you brush your teeth each morning (you do that riiiight?!). Keep it there for 21 days minimum. Why? Because it takes that amount of time for your mind to create new neuro-mapping from your inspired note.

We have seen this simple exercise used by thousands of widows before and it became a story they would tell later at how such a small act of love and kindness to themselves really made a difference when they were struggling to find daily encouragement.

Try it yourself, you can add more notes if you wish, but take one small step and write ONE today!!!

If you’d like to share your note with us, send it to support@modernwidowsclub.org

We’d love to see yours and encourage you in this healthy widowhood journey together!!

Much love,

Carolyn Moor, Modern Widows Club Founder & MWC Team
