Some More Affirmations I Like

You know, there really is no one way to compose an
affirmation. The important thing is that it resonates
with you...that it makes you feel that what you want
is possible and okay for you to have.

*I give away thousands of dollars every year.
*My mind cooperates with my desires.
*Now that I am grown, it is okay for me to make more
money than Dad.
*It is okay for me to love myself. God does excellent work.
*My income exceeds my expenses whether I like it or not.
*My abdomen seeks to be 32 inches around.
*God doesn't mind if I'm rich or not.

It's important that an affirmation generate strong, positive
feelings and pleasant images. I chuckle every time I say
"My abdomen seeks to be 32 inches around." I like it a lot
better than "I now have 15% body fat." :-)

Lemme Get Metaphysical For A Minute

Ancient metaphysical thought declared that everything
made manifest was composed of 4 basic elements: Earth,
Fire, Air, and Water. Sometimes, I like to compose my
affirmations in such a way so as to address each of these.

With respect to Earth, think about some ways that your
goal can manifest. This helps you out in the area of
Believability.

With respect to Fire, think about exactly why you want
the goal to manifest. This helps you out in the area of
Motivation.

With respect to Air, think about exactly what you want
to manifest. This helps you with Clarity.

And, with respect to Water, ask yourself why you think
you can have it. This will help you with Worthiness.

When you compose an affirmation with these things in
mind, you greatly increase the likelihood that it will
manifest in a way that truly satisfies you.

The Power Of Words, Revisited

A lady who had read my March 31st post about how the
meaning and the intent of the words we use may not
coincide asked me if I was not being guilty of "just
using semantics."

My response was, "Yes, I am." Because, in the literal sense,
that's exactly what I was doing.

Semantics is the study of meaning in communication.
And, I ask you, what communication do we engage in that
is more important than that with which we engage ourselves?

We do "self-talk" all the time. It is integral to how we go
about the process of thinking. Therefore, it behooves us to
insure that we say to ourselves exactly what we intend to.
This, in turn, will make it all the more likely that we achieve
what's really important to us.
