Making Affirmations More Effective - Some Thoughts

I definitely agree with this. You can waste an hour telling yourself all sorts of things, but until the practice is in your daily life, it's moot.

Now I'm not much of an affirmation girl (something about my time in a mental ward--I bloody hate the term "affirmation"), but I used to have a problem of this sort--sitting and planning and thinking of getting my life back on track, and then getting overwhelmed with all the wrongs. It's important, when the negatives creep in to stop, reassess your thinking, and not let it get the best of you.

Oh that "Monkey mind"... Little prattling rattle.

I believe all affirmation is focus. As we open to the understanding that everything has purpose and is a growing opportunity we find resistance to existence slipping away and we fill that space left by the monkey mind with thoughts of joy, mirth, humour and patience.

Mountain of bills...Can’t happen as all my needs are met.

****** job...Impossible; I love what I do and would change it if I didn’t.

Lousy relationship...How could I ever draw to me anything that didn’t have purpose.

Peace
