Oh, my! That is the answer for me! I feel the same, struggling to believe my affirmations and then feeling worse when I don’t. But I can do this, and I know it will lead me to that path of fully realizing the true me. Thank you again!

Very wise words. Like you, I believe that if we reframe something rather than trying to force something to apply to ourselves, then the fit will be much better.

Trying to live by someone else’s affirmations just doesn’t seem authentic to me. We have to create our own affirmations in order to really believe them.

Here’s one I would like to reframe:

I am enough.

-I am all that I need to be at this time in my life.

Thank you for providing such a thought-provoking post.

Hugs,
Debbie

i loove this!
i do it in my workshops to help move through resistance. we do a whole series of affirmations starting with a statement of how we are actually feeling in that moment, and then take little baby believable steps into something that feels better.

we can be happy, but we have to be real!

I’ve really been thinking about this one. The way I see it, you can tell yourself “I am perfect” a million times but it means nothing if you can’t convince yourself to believe it. So baby steps right? So I’m not perfect…but I am a good person who deserves love and respect. It is an easier pill to swallow Have I told you lately that you are awesome?

I love it! I needed to hear this … b/c I am working on some affirmation cards for MW class…

And, I think it’s funny you mentioned Charlotte… that’s EXACTLY what I thought of before I read your side-note. And I love that Carrie says, “NO… she’s OUT THERE!”

Ciao!

Thank you for this post! I just posted about this, this past Tues, and have been conversing with a best friend about it too – being a positive thinker when voices in my head make me believe the worst fears I have about myself.

Thanks for helping me stay brave, at least, as brave as I can stand in a given moment.

mccabe… you always know what to say, and how to share your view with us, who are always waiting to hear your bits of wisdom… a true mermaid!!!

thank you for sharing this with us, you’ve got me thinking and realising so many more things that i believe about myself than what i don’t believe.
