Until Next issue. . . thrive!
Even research has shown repeatedly the power of positive self-talk!
Positive affirmations have been used to lower stress levels and heighten athletic performance. People cope more easily when going into new social gatherings and are less likely to make downward social comparisons when they practice self-affirmations.
Participants of one study that actually verbalized said self-affirmations before any new social encounter reduced their negative thoughts of being rejected and compared to other people and/or groups.
So how do you affirm yourself?

So how do you affirm yourself?
You deliberately and consciously make positive statements about yourself in your mind and aloud that inspire and nourish your being.
If a statement feels frighteningly exciting, that is good sign - because you're pushing the edges of your comfort zone to grown and expand.
If it feels great to think an affirmation, then it is right and you're on target.
General or glowing affirmations about yourself don’t necessarily work in the time frame you always want -they usually take much longer. But if persist, they do work! Make no mistake about it.
The more loving attention you put on a self-declaration, the more quickly it will manifest.
An important note worth mentioning: putting attention on any affirmation does not mean suffocating it to death with exaggeration, impatience, irritation or anger. Being in a hurry is a not a loving supportive feeling. You would never thirve or flourish in such a toxic environment nor will your intentions. However, when you put your attention on a single positive self declaration with patience and gratitude it will feel like a mantra -gently spoken and without attachment . . .you want the affirmation with an open and vulnerable heart without feeling desperate or anxious to achieve it.

- When doubts or other negatives thoughts surface, treat them as if you were sitting in meditation:
- Observe them peacefully and curiously without self judgment...as if you are experiencing these new thoughts for the first time.
- Notice and acknowledge your self doubts and DO NOT FIGHT OR RESIST THEM.
For example,
- If you feel afraid,say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: we all experience the feeling of fear, so what.
- If you feel lonely, say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: I maybe alone and when I honor myself my loneliness is history.
- If you make a mistake, say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: I give myself permission to be human and making mistakes is human.
- If you feel angry, say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: I have the power to choose to respond or react and I choose be accountable daily and I decide when I give or keep my personal power.
The more you acknowledge the doubts without struggle, the more quickly they will go away. Always return to your affirmation, like you would go back to a mantra after a distracting series of thoughts.
Following this method will speed up your progress in creating and living from your loving self-affirmations.
"Be to you as you would to your best friend."
"Be to you as you would to your best friend."
