Affirmations

I've recently come to realize the importance of affirmations. They help us recognize our limitless potential and allow us to channel a stream of consciousness that is both powerful and positive. How divine it is to have great things come your way simply by asking for them and allowing them to enter your life.In short: affirmations are a way to program your subconscious mind.They are you being in conscious control of your thoughts. They are short, powerful statements. By using them on a regular basis they become the thoughts that create your reality. How? It's simple really: you are what you think.

I equate affirmations to feeling a warm sensation in your chest and releasing that warmth to the Universe

.Let's be clear, this isn't looking up at the sky and saying, "Give me money!"  Although I have to admit, on occasion that method does tend to work because there really are no rules here.

But what I want to make evident with this post is that with intention you are opening yourself up to what you deserve. Affirmations allow for unconditional love and abundance to enter your life. They open the doors to endless opportunity.

I like to write out affirmations and leave them where I can see them (on my desk, on my door, on my fridge, as reminders on my phone, etc.). Each morning I choose one affirmation (or more, like I said... no rules!) and try to intentionally repeat it throughout the day.

Sometimes I'm walking to the bus stop and I proclaim the affirmation with my head held high. Sometimes I'll chant this affirmation in meditation. Sometimes I dance around my sacred space and connect with my inner Goddess - she declares these affirmations with pride and tries to remind the Ego who REALLY is in control here. Sometimes I'll repeat the affirmation in my head before a big meeting. Sometimes as I'm falling asleep I'll think of the affirmation until I drift off (I've been known to also do this with the Thelema text Liber AL: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" and "Love is the law, love under will." but that's a whole other blog post for another day). Anyway, what I'm getting at is that these affirmations can be repeated whenever, wherever and however you so choose. Whatever feels right, go with it.

Here's a list of affirmations that resonate with me. Feel free to use them as is, alter them or disregard them completely:
