Affirmations I write
The short sentences I copy out in my notebook, and why I keep the notebook by my pillow.
A practice from class: write a page of short sentences in the present tense, as if they are already true. The note I made beside it: keep the notebook next to the pillow.
Here are the general ones. The ones about my own family and work stay in the notebook.
- I am a powerful being.
- I respond out of my choice. I do not react to situations.
- I am calm and stable always.
- I am always happy, fearless, confident and peaceful.
- I am always before time.
- I accept people, and people accept me.
- Past is past. I release. I let go.
- My relationships are strong and built on trust.
- I don't need to fill every silence. I can rest in my own company.
And the same idea in Hindi, from another page:
- Every action of mine brings good.
- I am radiant. I am a pure soul.
- My home is heaven.
- I put a full stop (bindi) on old things. I live in today.
- The prayers and good wishes of God are a shield around me.
- The atmosphere around me is pure and full of energy.
A line I added under them: higher-vibration thoughts protect us from lower energy. And one for the soul: purity, cleanliness and good deeds (punya). The more values I have, the more powerful I am.
Another of the notes: burn the account of wrong deeds, and grow the account of good ones.
