So, I have heard it said that if you tell yourself something enough times, you will come to believe it. My mind has been filled with some negative self talk lately, and I am trying to retrain my brain into believing positive affirmations. Several times a day I go through the alphabet and tell myself one positive trait that starts with each letter of the alphabet. The following are traits that I want to acquire and nurture within myself.
I AM
Accepting
Beautiful
Confident (some days this is calm)
Devoted (or determined)
Encouraging (some days this is energized)
Flexible
Gracious
Honest (some days this is happy)
Independent
Joyful
Kind
Loving
Motivated
Nice
Open Minded
Peaceful
Quiet
Relaxed
Strong
TRUSTING (the one I need to work on the most)
Understanding
Vulnerable
Welcoming
Xciting
Youthful
Zany
My hope is, is that if I say this to myself often enough, I will come to BE all of these traits. Some take a bit more effort than others, but each are ones I want to nurture.
I AM.
