What daily positive affirmations work for you?

I am good enough
I am lovable
I am attractive
I am a good wife and mom
I am responsible for my own happiness
I can take care of myself
His addiction has nothing to do with me

those are just some of them

 

I like this one because it is not just about positivity but it is also instructive, even if it is just a reminder that change is inevitable. I think people should think more beyond just having positivity in affirmations and incorporate ones with wisdom in it beyond just thinking of wisdom as a thing you have. For example with this next one:

Why not add something like ".. but there there are many 'coulds'" or something, as a reminder that there are always many ways to work with the situation? The word 'could' also shifts our thinking in terms of an empowered position rather than being burdened with a moral onus or something, it is about ability. You see where I'm going with this?

Edit: Positivity alone strikes me as a temporary state change from the negative, nothing wrong with that, but positivity+instructional wisdom opens the mind to action.

 

I’m not going to compete with the brain trust here, but what I was thinking this week had humor and a zen quality to it.

"Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary."

Is the quote which St Francis likely did not say, but to whom it is commonly attributed.

So in that case I like the phrase,

"pray every day and if necessary use words".

I also liked the story about the fellow who asked the priest if he could smoke while he prayed. The priest replied, “Of course not”.

They continued speaking and then it came up and the priest was asked, “when I am smoking, is it OK to pray?”.

The priest replied,
“That would be best.”

Sometimes, our answers are waiting to be seen.

Hope your young bride
feels better soon.
Mine is going through
that change, too.

 

My advice would be to help her find a purpose. And set a schedule for self-care. (As in, help her decide a schedule for her self-care). This is the problen that needs addressing, finding good self-affirmations is just one way to make her feel better (tackling the symptoms rather than the core of the problem).

Positive affirmations are going to work best if they are statements that she knows, intellectually, to be true, but sometimes struggles to feel emotionally. Reminding herself of the value she already has. Perhaps of the purpose she already has. Perhaps affirmations about how deserving she is of the self care she will practise that day, etc. Repeating a statement she has no belief in at all won't help as much.

Finding a properly licensed therapist or a mental health professional will yield better results than sourcing your advice from a homeopath. Diluting one good bit of advice with a huge volume of waffle won't make the good advice more potent or effective.

 

I am _______

IMO. The most powerful affirmations start with I am

• I am _______

• I am healing
• I am honest
• I am confident
• I am persuasive
• I am charming
• I am handsome
• I am likable
  
  
• Etc....

There is nothing to be afraid of. The worst that can happen is you can die. And death is not scary.

 

I'm smart, beautiful, rich, successful, healthy, I'm wealthy, I held . My immunity is strong and gets stronger every day. My body is healthy and works like clockwork without any failures.

 

“I take pleasure in not being pleased.”

“The choices I make today are within my power.”

 

I am physically strong, mentaly strong, full of energy. I'm on nofap and I'm commited to cold showers. I have nothing to complain about.
