AFFIRMATIONS
Affirmations are simply formed statements that help you to focus on a higher truth, a clearer intention and a greater sense of well-being. We all spend a great deal of time lost in our thoughts, and if we dont live consciously many of those thoughts can be limiting and prevent a joyful and creative life. Happily, no matter how many past moments may have been difficult, the next moment is like a blank page upon which can be written a new thought, a greater action and a better life. So choose an affirmation from one of the lists below or create one for yourself. Read it frequently throughout the day and over the week. Use a different one next week. Keep affirming your truth to live your truth!
