Affirmations

Recently I have been doing affirmations.  I tried this many years ago, but sort of gave up too quickly.  This time, it's personal....

I watched the new movie by Louise Hay called "You Can Heal Your Life" about five times in one week.  Each time it makes more sense.  I love how they show one woman's journey through a thought change and her movement towards a new life and new way of thinking.         I can really relate to her and it inspires me to move forward.

So here I am. Every morning, I start out with "I work at a job I truly love" and then progress to others such as "My income is constantly increasing"  and "I love myself" with others inbetween. 

At first, I had a few tough things happen to me, including smashing my hand inbetween a TV cart and a door frame.  I did this while I was focusd on affirming "I love myself; therefore I attract positive and loving people into my life".  Unfortunatley, affirmations don't come with a warning that says one should not push TV carts around and tune out your surroundings while saying them.

But, I"m OK and decided that if I was going to affirm while standing in line, waiting at a red light, in the ladies room (ahem), or even sitting on the sofa, that it would still be wise on my part, to pay partial attention to my surroundings.  I have a hard enough time staying focused on certain situations when I would rather be elsewhere. 

So far, tiny little changes have been taking place, but things are progressing on many small but important levels. 

Affirmations are great for important meetings too!  If I'm bored and don't want to participate, I just sit there and think "My income is constantly increasing" and "I love myself", with the hopes of matching my vibration to a time and place that truly makes me happy.  

Just make sure you don't "affirm and drive".  Please wait for the red lights and trains.
