I have been asked this question several times now. (I love questions by the way!) The question is what were my affirmations
and what are my affirmations and do they change. It really made me consider this. Since this is my 5th straight year of reciting affirmations. The reason I enjoy them so much is that they are not only effective , they are easy. I’m all about making it easy.
Several years ago when I was in deep contrast (by that I mean, okay, let’s make sure I have food) I couldn’t even think of my own affirmations so I took on Jeannette Maw‘s which were joy, delight and satisfaction. I just recited that every day. At the time, I am not even sure I said I AM joy delight and satisfaction. I believe I just tuned into the thought of everything bringing me just that. Borrowing others’ affirmations is okay. It worked for me! Even though I may not have been feeling joy, delight and satisfaction when I was reciting them, it came. Delight and satisfaction came within my situation… even if I had to wait a day or two it came!
I couldn’t even tune into joy at that time. My affirmation was PEACE.
I am peace. All I wanted was peace since there was so much turmoil around me. I am also born in the year of the rabbit (chinese zodiac) and the rabbit seeks and needs peace. If I don’t have peace its difficult for me to move period. But peace came. As time went on, I made it JOY! I realized I had shifted to JOY, because I could feel it. I now stay right there. In JOY. Pretty much 24/7. Yep, weird like that, but I love the vibration of joy and it suits me well.
Now, that Im in a much higher vibration- and I have learned some words from the Goddesses.
Those are now my affirmations. I AM enough, I AM glorious. I even say this one. I AM Money 🙂
Affirmations are so powerful! I’m so glad you were able to “borrow” Jeannette’s until you could find your own.
Mine are “I trust YOU!”, “I give up”, “I surrender”. – the relief found in surrendering and placing my thoughts on more pleasant things.
And of course the one from Jeannette…”Everything is going to be okay”.
Thanks for sharing!
Love it Mindy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Ming this is exactly my question and you answered so well – thank you for this blog post – here is what I learned – you used simple affirmations and then you have changed it up – but keep on affirming… love it – thank you
Deanna, ah so you were wondering too. Fabulous. Thanks for reading and for commenting.
My affirmations have changed over the years. It’s really what I started with in my early 30’s and changed my life for the better. Some of my favorites. I am love. I am beautiful. I am peace. I am complete as I am. I am creative.
Jody, love those. I have used some of those as well. Thanks for sharing . Yes, they are life changing!
