I have been saying affirmations with a buddy every week day morning for the last 2 weeks and the results are impressive. I feel better about myself, my life, and the world around me. Even though my affirmations are basic and work related, I still see such a tremendous difference in my attitude. The power of positive thinking is staggering! My next action item is to create a list of affirmations to recite in the shower.
Here are the ones I say on a daily basis.
- Today is a great day!
- I am the best at what I do.
- Everyone I talk to wants to work with me.
- Opportunity easily flows in my direction.
Create a list of 3 to 4 positive statements and repeat them each 3 to 5 times every day out loud. It is easy to do this in the shower, driving, or as you are getting ready in the morning. It is doesn’t matter what you say as long as it is positive and reinforces something you want to achieve.
Another really great resource I consult on a a daily basis is a book called Answers in the Heart. It is a collection of daily meditations.
Here are a few others that may be more appropriate for the struggling addict.
- I am a good person and love myself.
- I am finding meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in my life.
- As I relax and let go, I flow towards my greatest good.
- In turning away my old habits, I see the amazing possibilities of a new life to be lived.
It’s a good life. 
We must slow down and smell the flowers and savor each day.
