Affirmations
"Awareness is the first step in healing
or changing. Our resistance comes up very
strong. We may even feel angry about the thought of doing it.
Impatience is only another form of resistance. It is resistance
to learning and to changing. When we demand that it be done
right now, completed at once, then we don't give ourselves time
to learn the lessons involved with the problem. If you want to
move to another room, you have to get up and move step by step
in that direction." -Louise Hay
Affirmation is a key toward personal
acceptance that through the past year now I have used as a way
to put myself back together again piece by piece. From a once
broken girl with a broken self image who felt she could do no
right and could do nothing to improve her outlook on life.
My negative outlook on life effected
everything and everyone around me. When I began to give myself
daily affirmations, only then did I see the pattern of turmoil I
put on my life begin to vanish. Life got just a little bit
easier for me and others took notice. Giving yourself
affirmation means taking from the bad and creating the exact
opposite until you begin to believe it for yourself. For example
if I constantly say to myself "I am unworthy" I now must tell
myself "I AM worthy" even if I have to say it 400 times a day
before my heart believes it.
Resistance is what keeps us from believing
it. We must fight against the resistance in order to believe
that we are who we say we are even if the first 400 times feels
completely uncomfortable.
Here are some of my own
affirmations I use on a daily basis.
As I let go of my
feelings of guilt, I can get in touch with my Inner Self.
I have the power to
channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of hope.
I no longer need to
punish, deceive or compromise myself for others.
I can change any thought
that hurts into thoughts that give me strength.
I honor my personality
flaws, for without them I would not be me.
I will no longer let my
fears block me from the person I'm supposed to be.
I release all
limitations of the past and accept complete healing in this
moment.
When I accept myself
every moment, just as I am and just as it is, life is full and
complete, and I am loved unconditionally.
I release everything
others have thought and said about me in the past. It has no
bearing now.
I let go of all guilt,
depression, sadness and humiliation. I embrace a new day of
growing health, healing and confidence.
I allow myself to be
nurtured with all that's good, sweet and loving.

What we think now |
|
What we think tomorrow |
|
if you say to yourself... |
|
now say to yourself every
day... |
| It wouldn't do good anyway. |
|
Everything positive I do
has a positive outcome. |
| My Husband/Wife wouldn't
understand. |
|
If I help them and keep
trying, they will eventually understand me better. |
| I would have to change my
whole personality. |
|
Change in my personality
will open me up to a healthy happy life. |
| Only crazy people go to
therapists. |
|
Every kind of person goes
to therapy. Even I deserve someone to talk to about my
issue. |
| They couldn't help me with
my problem. |
|
They can help me with my
problems. A solution will present itself. |
| They couldn't handle my
anger. |
|
They are capable of seeing
the real me if I open up to them. |
| My case is different. |
|
My case is just as diverse
as anyone else's. |
| I don't want to bother
them. |
|
I am not a bother to
anyone. |
| It will work itself out. |
|
It doesn't just go away so
easily. I have to embrace the process. |
| Nobody else does it. |
|
I am not alone. |
| I might get hurt. |
|
If I fall I will get up
again. |
| I may have to change. |
|
Change is a natural
process. |
| I'm afraid to express my
feelings. |
|
I am no longer afraid to
express my feelings or show my emotions. |
| It might cost me money. |
|
I will try to work with
what I have. |
| I wouldn't be perfect. |
|
No one is completely
perfect. |
| I might lose my friends. |
|
The ones who understand me
the most would not walk away. If they walk away, that is
not my fault. |
| I don't trust anyone. |
|
I have the ability to trust
again |
| I'm not good enough. |
|
I am good enough! |
Before we can be accepted by others we must learn to accept
ourselves first. We have to be confident in ourselves and
confidence does not come easily that is why we must trust the
process. I still struggle with affirmation every day of my life.
But because of affirmation, I have become wiser, I have become
stronger and I have become greater than the woman I allowed
myself to be for so many years due to the resistance I had
naturally built up around me like a wall without an escape.
Whatever emotionally is keeping you from changing and healing is
the resistance talking for you. It is time for you to
take back your life. Time to make that escape. I believe in you.
