Cancel-Clear-Delete

At times, I am my own worst critic. When I realize I am hard on myself verbally, using sentences that begin with “I can’t” with thoughts like “I should have done” or “I’m just not…”

I know these patterns are self sabotaging, so I try to encourage a change in my negative pattern. As soon as I am aware of what I’m doing I say to myself “Cancel, Clear, Delete.” Then, I try to infuse my thoughts and emotions with positive thoughts by using affirmations like the ones listed below:

I release the need to be perfect and forgive myself for my perceived imperfections.

Each moment I rest in the accomplishment of the beautiful person I am at that given time knowing I am a work-in-progress learning and evolving daily.

I am a Divine being infused with God’s love and light everything is as it should be.

The Peace You Desire is Within

Some days you might feel restless and unsettled…we are so busy striving for a sense of peace in our lives that we forget we can create it as we move through experiences and tasks throughout our day.

The peace you desire is within. Close your eyes connect to your breath and claim peace. Know you can call upon the wellspring of your definition of source, mine being God and all the angels.

Here are some affirmations to help you with this:

I remember to breathe throughout my day and infuse each inhale with peace. I exhale all the stressors to make room for more inner peace.

I remind myself I can choose peace regardless of what experience I am having. It is my choice!

I am comfortable retreating inward simply by closing my eyes and connecting to breath whenever I choose too. I teach others to do the same, making life filled with more awareness.

Playful Spirit

Sometimes I find myself getting caught in life’s seriousness. Sure life has its moments that deserve this characteristic, but maybe a little less seriousness might actually promote or initiate creativity and a fresh perspective.

As a healthy reminder, we should infuse our lives with a sense of playfulness and fun.

Here are some affirmations to help us in lightening up:

I consciously choose to greet life with a playful spirit.

I ask myself to look at the world with childlike wonderment and giddiness.

I encourage myself to laugh often today.

Divine Order

We live in a world of instant gratification.  We want what we want, and we want it now!  We know all about patience, and we tell ourselves to have patience and allow things to manifest as they are suppose to; but do we actually have faith in Divine Timing?

Here are some affirmations to assist in embracing patience from the perspective that we must trust and have faith that everything is about Divine Time and Divine Order.

I know that my prayers are always answered at the perfect moment and in the highest good of all.

I let go of my own agenda and trust in the bigger picture.

I know everything is going according to plan, and I will soon understand the sequence of events.

Honor Your Feelings

Honoring ourselves and our feelings is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.  Many times we allow others to convince us that our feelings are not valid or that we are too sensitive.  Is there such a thing?  Think about that for a moment.  We have a tendency to minimize the importance of our feelings and the impact they play in our everyday life.

Here are a few affirmations that can be used as reminders to be true to your gut feelings, and emotions:

My emotions and feelings are true indicators for me.

I honor my feelings and emotions because they are unique to me; it is the view from my lens and mine alone.

I own my feelings and emotions as they are a representation of who I am.

Celebrating Gratitude

This week I have been resting in a space of immense grace and gratitude. Celebrating all that I am thankful for allows my heart to be open to receive and experience unconditional love. I honor God and the Universe by showing up fully aware and appreciative with all that has been given to me.

Here are some affirmations that assist me in owning a deep sense of grace and gratitude:

I celebrate every breath I take and smile that I give to world.

The Unconditional Love I am able to share and experience with all living beings is God’s Grace in my life and I am forever grateful.

I honor my creator with a display of authenticity in all I say and do.

Life as Water

Very few things in life are set in stone.  Everything in and around us is continually evolving.  Change is the reality of life.  How do those few sentences make you feel mentally, emotionally, and physically?

Ideally, you want to experience life with fluidity, like a peaceful stream of water.  As a stream, we may encounter obstacles, but the flow of the water carries us downstream past the challenges.  Sometimes these challenges can change the course of our fluidity.

Here are a few affirmations to encourage the flow of life:

I realize that life is filled with change and evolution.

I am comfortable with allowing things to be as they are.

I choose Fluidity of thought, emotion and experiences, as opposed to rigidity.

Thoughts Manifest Life

Our thoughts manifest themselves in our bodies, which is why it is important that we send ourselves positive messages. We can do this through loving self-talk, but we can also be kind to ourselves by going with the flow of our lives and accepting our circumstances in each moment. (Inspired from the Deepak Chopra 21-Day Meditation Series.)

Thoughts create a response in our physical body and emotional mindset. These responses line up with our experiences and determine how we will feel, talk, and act. Powerful stuff when you really take a moment to process that statement. It is important we have loving thoughts toward ourselves. Self judgment and criticism can be toxic to our overall health and well-being.

These affirmations are suggestions to assist with loving talk to yourself, make sure what you are saying you truly own for yourself.

God Thank you for giving me such a magnificent tool of self expression in physical form; I promise to continue to improve a loving relationship with my mind and body.

I listen to myself and observe my thoughts to make sure they are in alignment with my Divine connection which is all love and radiant light.

I am a beautiful beacon of God’s love and Light here on earth and promise God and myself to send a loving vibration out into the world to assist the world in healing.

Step Into Your Greatness

We are limitless beings filled with infinite possibility!
How many of us really own that statement?

Often our internal programming does not allow us to believe in this statement.  Or we find ourselves in a situation where our mental or emotional pattern knows that the statement is true, but there continues to be resistors that prevent us from actualizing it in our lives.

Here are a couple of affirmations that will assist you in embracing your greatness:

The sky is the only limit to my ability to co-create a magnificent life!
I am filled with infinite possibilities and infinite abilities!
I can best love and serve when I choose to be myself ~ I am free to be ME!

Stepping into your Greatness allows others around you to do the same
