I choose to observe instead of obsess and trade scared for serene whenever possible.
My affirmations posts and blog have received a wonderfully warm response and I am so grateful. I’ve been blessed with amazing support from clients as well as so many other people including friends, family, fb, twitter and Instagram peeps. My ‘social media’ has improved my life tremendously.
Though I may not be able to respond to every comment, I do appreciate and read them with much interest. Last week, someone remarked that some times reading the affirmations was difficult when she was in a down space.
This is easy to understand as saying, I am loved and I am peaceful can feel so inauthentic when we are rather stuck in more of a I am down so this feels dumb sort of space.
It is perfectly okay to be in a down space. It’s also just fine that you are not feeling a match to every word in an affirmation. What matters is that you feel. So instead of…
…you could try
You can always modify an affirmation you are drawn to but don’t resonate with 100% and/or you can create your own! When they feel good to read, they work best.
Affirmations are empowering because they override the sound of the broken record playing in the back of our mind that repeats…you can’t, you aren’t, you idiot. (Okay, that is one of my broken records but you get the point!) I’m all for free flowing in dance and art but since coming to grips with how much our thoughts and words create our world, I am far less free flowing with my thoughts and words and as a result, oddly enough..I’m much more easy-going in general.
Want to feel energized and be inspired? Try staying mindful of what you are feeling, thinking, and saying. Just the process of trying (putting energy into it) has the power to add light to your life.
Affirmations help dull the sound of the broken record playing in the back of your head because saying them replaces the sound with the equivalent of lets say… a new hand-picked play list on Spotify! No more, you can’t, you aren’t, you idiot. Now it’s …I now believe in the power of my soul and in the power of self-acceptance! Staying mindful of what you say..and what you think will energize and inspire you.
Did you grow up learning to stay present and conscious of what you said? I have met few who did. My dad would often say, “Think before you talk.” But he said this mostly to my sister Randi because she had the guts to speak her mind. When I spouted off with something odd he would get an irritated look of surprise on his face. As a young medium with a big personality, I had a lot to say and at times, it wasn’t my own voice. Thinking back on it now, I wish could have said..It wasn’t me, some dead person made me say it!
I am exactly where I need to be…
My honesty inspires others.
I am confident, strong, brave and beautiful.
I am safe, I am love, and I am wanted.
Take a moment morning, noon and night to read your favorite affirmations, and always, always be nice to yourself. It won’t be wasted time. The Universe will bring back to you what love you give away.
Hope you enjoy these affirmations! Thank you, thank you for reading my blog!
