What's your favorite Affirmation?
Believing in Myself: Our unconscious is like a vast subterranean factory with intricate machinery that is never idle, where work goes on day & night from the time we are born until the moment of our death. —James Harvey Robinson Not only do we all talk to ourselves, but we do it all the time. On a deeper level of consciousness than “Where did I put my glasses?” we ask & answer questions, weigh information & test different opinions. Our self-talk reinforces our reality to the extent that our entire self-concept & the esteem, or lack thereof, that flows from that concept is continuously re-created. Affirmations are simply statements of positive truth. When we "do" affirmations, we take charge of that critical inner dialogue. By telling ourselves, "I am worthy even when I make a mistake," we legitimize that valid opinion whether or not we "feel" worthy at that moment. If we face ourselves in the mirror & say, "I am a lovable, competent person" we might hear an inner voice saying, "Who are you kidding?" But just the verbal expression of the positive self-definition enters an authoritative new voice into the inner dialogue. Someone has said that affirmations are the quickest, least-bloody form of "brain surgery" ever devised. Of all the tools for self-rescue, what could be simpler or easier to use than affirmations? I will use affirmations to reinforce realities that I know but don’t yet feel. __________________________________________________ _________ In my Coda group at the end of the meeting...we all go around the room and state our favorite affirmation. it is really cool and I always learn new ones from other people. just thought we could all share some here and learn from eachother. mine is: all the good I am seeking to be is now seeking me. What's yours?

My very most favorite is quite long, but here it is:
I am willing to release the need to be unworthy. I am worthy of the very best in life and I now lovingly allow myself to accept it. As I spend a few days doing this affirmation over and over My outer effect pattern of procrastination will automatically begin to fade. As I internally create a pattern of self worth, then I no longer have the need to delay my good. I got this from one of Louise Hay's books. The one with the rainbow on it.

When we "do" affirmations, we take charge of that critical inner dialogue
I have the worst critical inner diaglogue because at times I verbally express it through negative self talk. I am working on this daily. I guess my favourite affirmation is the following :- "I am safe and all is well." For me this affirmation helps when in the late evening or early morning and my head is racing with thoughts I find that it settles the mind enough so that I can undertake prayer and meditation. thats me |

"I love myself and naturally attract Loving relationships into my life."
and "Abundance is my natural state of being. I accept it now!"
