If you’ve ever seen the trend of heart-shaped affirmations on a child’s (or even a teen’s) door around this time of year, you might be wondering: What’s the deal with these sweet little notes? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Let’s break it down and show you how easy (and fun!) it is to celebrate with intention this February.
STEP ONE: Gather Your Supplies!
You don’t need anything fancy to get started—just a few basics! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Paper: Grab sticky notes, cut-out hearts, or pre-made heart-shaped notes. Want to keep it simple? Grab some cute sticky notes. Feeling crafty? Make your own hearts! We love these heart-shaped notes and these fun pre-made ones if you’re short on time!
- Pen: Don’t forget a good pen to write your affirmations! Bonus points if it’s a fun color that makes the notes extra special.
STEP TWO: Decide Your Time Frame
Now that you’ve got your supplies, it’s time to decide how long you want to keep up the affirmation tradition! Here are a couple of options to choose from:
- Option 1: Daily Affirmations (Feb. 1–14)
Want to celebrate leading up to Valentine’s Day? Place one affirmation on your child’s door every day starting February 1st until the 14th. It’s a sweet way to count down to the big day with love and positivity! - Option 2: The Whole Month of February (Feb. 1–28)
Want to keep the love flowing all month long? Why not make February a whole month of affirmations? Write a new affirmation each day from February 1st through February 28th. It’s the perfect way to fill your home with positivity!
STEP THREE: Choose Your Affirmations
Here’s where the fun really begins! Your affirmations can be anything from simple compliments to more personal, heartfelt messages. Looking for inspiration? We’ve got you covered with 100 affirmations (see below!) to help you get started. But feel free to get creative with your own!
Pro Tip: Keep the affirmations short, positive, and easy for little ones to remember. You can tailor them to their personality, or even use them to focus on different themes like kindness, love, family, or confidence.
STEP FOUR: Write & Place the Notes
It’s time to get writing! Each day (or whenever you choose), write a new affirmation on your chosen paper and stick it to your child’s door. The best part? Your little one will be greeted with love and positivity every time they enter or leave their room.
Fun Twist: If you have more than one child, make it a friendly family challenge! Have each person write one affirmation for another family member each week. It’s a great way to get everyone involved and celebrate the people they love.
STEP FIVE: Show Us Your Love!
We’d love to see how you’re spreading the love in your home! Tag us on social media @TheHelpfulHost as you shower your kiddos with heart-filled affirmations. Use the hashtag #HeartAffirmations to share your journey, and let’s spread love and positivity together!
BONUS TIP: Want to make the affirmations even more interactive? After placing a note, ask your child what the affirmation means to them or how they can live that affirmation today. This adds a fun, reflective twist that can be a great bonding moment.
