How to put it in the positive way?

I want to add an affirmation to my daily regimen about not needing other people's aproval and not caring about their opinions of me or my life(and also about anything else- especially, if they are negative). I want it to be totally positive.
That's what I came up with so far:
" I am very comfortable being me. I am free to be myself. I give myself aproval I need. I accept other people as they are. We all are in the perfect place for our journey."

joy... Here's my suggestion, to add some umph to your affirmations:

* Put one hand on your heart center and the other on your belly, below your navel.

* Breathe deeply and gently in your lower belly.

* Say your affirmations with Feeling.

* Add... "I deeply accept and love myself just as I am."


blessings

That sounds like a beautiful affirmation!
Another wonderful practice that I try to have, (because I also have been working on letting go of my need for other people's approval), is when you find yourself wanting to ask for approval from others, to just take a breathe, quiet your mind, and think it through yourself.
Once I make up my mind, whether it was right or not, I just live with my decisions with no regrets.
Peace and Blessings

you might also try stating that you are detached from others opinions, emotional or mental states, or negative energy...many folks do not have any self control over their emotions and thoughts, and these energies can actually affect our everyday lives, events that happen in them as well as moods or emotional states we ourselves have...my wife and i have been dealing with things of this sort for quite some time, and she didnt believe that a person's thought, even if directed at her, could have that much of an effect, but it can, so it is a good idea, to at the least, protect yourself from any such things, but, this is just a suggestion, your affirmation seems pretty darned good to me...

I'm reposting my own words from another thread, on the subject of detachment:


Detachment doesn't mean not feeling, but you can become detached by simply watching your feelings as they come and go... with allowing and accepting... and conscious breathing.

And you can learn how to release negative feelings and desperate desires, rather than either getting caught up in them, struggling with them or denying them.

The best way I know to release negative emotions and change emotional patterns is EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques. There's an article about it at: http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4478
