Affirmations

What everyone doesn't know is the only person making me feel inferior was ME. *GULP*
-
I compared myself to everyone in my life. And I felt horrible because of it. I felt like an imposter more days than not. I sought outside approval from everyone, never trusting my own inner guidance.
-
I took my friends' niceties as them feeling merely sorry for me. I felt my friends were my friends for various reasons: I was single; I was in a relationship; I had a broken heart; I was fat; I was thin; I had a dog; I didn't know my way, etc.
-
Seriously, my thinking was very skewed.
-
How did I help myself change that thinking?
-
Affirmations.
-
Yep, I felt they were stupid. A wise person in my life kept telling me they would work and I kept telling him I thought they were bull. I fought making them and saying them for years. Like 3.5 years.
-
So, this year, I figured I'd try something different--help myself. After all these years of trying everyone else's way of living their life (not my way of living my life mind you), and looking to people I saw as "authorities" to tell me what to do, I was lost. Felt alone without anything to hold onto. So, I turned to myself and the power of words.
-
I began by saying things like--I love you, I accept you. I am beautiful. I am worthy. And then I moved onto--I am always greeted by new opportunities to show off my talents. I am able to care for myself. I trust myself. My intuition is strong.
-
Guess what?? After a LOT of repetition, I began to believe it. And it felt good. And it was actually true. I am all of these things.
-
And so are you. Do you use affirmations? What do you say to yourself? I'd love for you to share!
