Journal of affirmations

Writing out an affirmation actually makes it stronger, in much the same way writing out your goals makes them more achievable. You are combining more then one area for your brain to be able to absorb the information and to act upon it. A perfect example is bills, if you affirm "I have enough money to pay all of my bills in full". But then you make a list on paper of your bills and how you do not have the fiscal security needed to pay them, you are sending a mixed message. Write your goals, say them silently, and out loud, read them, think them and live them with affirmations.

I've never done it, but actually think it's a good idea. I think it would be fairly easy to learn to love yourself on the inside, but then when I turn in front of the mirror....all I see are my faults. Is there a way to help yourself with that???

Hi Shelly, That is great that you do that. I always did used to write down goals and affirmations but I have stopped over the last couple of years but you may have just re inspired me to do this again with this discussion to is is good to look back on what you have written and see how much you have achieved and moved forward in your thought processes and attitude over time. Keep up the good work. Ellie :D

I think if you going to do the affirmations then writing them down would be better. It is more tedious, perhaps, but writing them down will make them stay in your mind better than just saying them
