This is such a powerful concept of true service.
Daily Affirmations
I dont think this is headed in the direction you think it is. We see this phrase and relate it to the submissive mind, words given by Doms to their submissives. They are powerful tools in helping us to “gird our loins”, so to speak. They are instrumental in helping us to stand strong in the face of our fears, to encourage us in areas in which we need bolstering. They are a comfort to us at times when life tries to drag us under. They are a powerful reminder of who we are, apart from what the world sees, and to whom we belong. I can attest to their power in my own life. Daily affirmations are the most powerful and versatile tool a Dom has to help his submissive, in my opinion. We all would agree with their importance. But….what about Doms? That’s the question that keeps circling around in my mind. I’ve asked my friends in the community if they give their Doms words to say or my Dom friends if they’ve been given them by their submissives. I’ve never seen anyone write about it. The ones I’ve spoken with havent experienced it, on either side of the slash. Why not? I understand the guidance part. A Dom is the one who leads and guides and cares for the submissive. Our words are part of that. Doms experience low times too, though. Doms get overwhelmed and anxious and swallowed up in the challenges they face, as well. I’ve read endless posts of Doms dealing with work and family stress, medical issues, feelings of failure, and depression. Don’t they need and deserve words from their subs, of encouragement? I look at my words as a love letter from my Dom. His words to me carry me through those tough times, they remind me of His love for me, that He’s always thinking of me. I think Doms deserve those words, too. Words from us. Special words to them that remind them of who THEY are. Words that remind THEM that they’ve got this, they can do it. Words that remind THEM of who they belong to. Words that they can carry with them and hear whenever and wherever THEY need them. Love letters. To THEM. ❤

This! Doms and Daddies aren’t magic. We’re flesh and blood and hormones too. It’s a quirk in our natures that we gain strength and fulfillment from taking responsibility. But we’re still human.
I’m going to declare that the measure of a good Dom is how well he or she or they raise their Sub’s confidence and self-awareness not just by deeds but words. But whatever our dynamics together Subs and Littles and other bottoms are our equal, autonomous, and powerful relationship partners. And do your word of affirmation mean the world to us. We only need to learn to hear them.
