Actually, I should have titled this post “Affirmations for Happiness” because it is the affirmations that are essential for feeling happy, peaceful and content. Â It is like a tape you play in the back of your mind that sets the mood of your inner state. Â There have been very difficult passages in my life and taking charge of my emotional tone was how I got through. Â To be happy, you have to think happy. Â Get your brain high on happy thoughts. Â Here are my favorite “pick me up” happy sayings. Â I have jotted them down in my journal almost a decade ago–but they still work. Â At that time I read a lot of affirmations by Louise Hay. Â So, my own affirmations have been heavily influenced by her.
We crave validation from others and while it is great when we get it, often we don’t have control over it. Â Therefore, validate yourself with your own self-talk. Â Feeling good about yourself creates a foundation for the overall health. Â Affirm what you want for yourself.
Be in a quiet place, take 3 cleansing breaths and say these affirmations slowly with expression to yourself.
Today I claim my power. Â I am deserving. Â I deserve the best. Â I am worthwhile. Â I choose to live the life of my dreams. Â My power is in the present moment.
Now and for the rest of my life I choose JOY. Â I choose HARMONY. Â I choose HEALTH. Â I choose LOVING TENDERNESS to myself and others. Â I choose CONFIDENCE. Â I chose CONTENTMENT. Â I choose HAPPINESS. I choose peace of mind. Â I choose to love myself and believe in myself. Â I choose BEAUTY inner and outer.
Today, I choose to live in abundance of these qualities. Â I am safe in the Universe and ALL life supports me. Â I accept life as it comes to me. Â I think what I want and it becomes true for me.
I like myself. Â I forgive myself. Â I choose to forgive others for the past hurts. Â I release all the negativity from my life. Â I choose the life of inner peace, love, confidence and calmness. Â I release with love all fears and doubts. Â I am doing the best I can and I choose to live in the present moment of joy and inner peace. Â I am healthy. Â I am happy. Â I am well. And so I am.
