Affirmations are everywhere, and they have the strong ability to lift your spirits to get through hard times. This is because we’re all highly suggestible, even if we think we’re not! Affirmations help us to keep a positive attitude about life. It’s only natural that we’ll get more out of these positive sayings if we formulate them ourselves. Writing our own affirmations makes them personal to us, which can then help us to get through our own individual situations. When you start writing your own affirmations, keep these tips in mind: 1.  Make them personal. When you write affirmations, it’s important to remember to use “I” in them. They are personal to you after all. Example: “I am having an exceptional day today!” 2.  Use the present tense. Affirmations are built in order to change our feelings now, which is why you want to stay positive and strong in this moment. When you use the past tense, you get nostalgic. When you use the future tense, you get hopeful. The present tense helps you feel the difference right now. Example: “I am feeling relaxed.” 3. Be down to earth.

I am grateful for the gift of change. Without change, I would never be able to grow, learn new things, accomplish my goals, or look forward to anything different than what I’ve got. Even though I may resist change at times, I am learning to enjoy its possibilities. Even when change is forced upon me and brings challenges, it opens new doors of opportunity. I now realize that a change that seems devastating can actually propel me into a better life! Where would I be today if I had not lost that job, causing me to seek a better, more fulfilling path in life? How could I have the husband I enjoy now if I had not left my old boyfriend behind? Change is one of the blessings that come with the power of choice. I can choose to leave things the way they are, or change them to something better. I can choose to waste my life fighting inevitable changes or take advantage of them and enjoy life. When life hands me lemons, I choose to make lemonade! Change allows me to learn and grow.

With each change, I become more knowledgeable, stronger, and more confident that I can handle whatever life may bring. I know that today brings its share of changes. I choose to welcome them all and allow myself to enjoy all opportunities that come my way. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. What changes am I resisting in my life right now? 2. How can I embrace these changes Continue Reading...
