Description

Affirmations offer inspiration and support in building the capacity to identify and remember gratitude each day.  As affirmations are repeated, they begin to change your pattern of thinking, ultimately changing your life.  In order for the affirmation to be successful in creating the change you seek, there must be connection and repetition.  You must feel connected to the words of the affirmation itself.  Perhaps link the affirmation to a person, situation, or a feeling.  A physical form of connection is linking words to breath, I like to inhale then repeat the affirmation while I exhale.  Creating this breathing connection has a couple benefits.  It slows down the pace of repetitions so that we have a greater chance to feel the words.  And it makes concentration stable reducing the mind’s tendency to wander.     

There are 7 affirmations which will be repeated 7 times each.  I invite you to repeat these with me either out loud or in your mind.  Why 7? 7 is the number of memory, when we repeat something 7 or more times it becomes locked in our brains.   It is associated with intuition and inner wisdom; a spiritual number within many different belief system throughout the world.
