For those of you who know me, you might say 1) positive and Kate…odd and 2) what would she know about the power of them? Well I've evolved some. Positive affirmations are so important and I've ignored them for a long time. I've spent a lot of time being bitter and down in the dumps. I've let other's words affect my soul and thus impact my life. But now that I have my positive affirmations I find that I've pushed, or at least started too push, those things out of my life. I will not give those people that power in my life.
So what brought about this change? Well I was attending my weekly spiritual transformation group (I highly recommend having one for yourself). The leader brought out all of these Post-It Notes. I thought we were just going to write prayer requests. But the leader led the group in an exercise where each person got a chance to sit in the affirmation chair. The rest of the group took the notes and pens and started writing positive things on them. Then they took them and started to stick them to me. My arms, legs, stomach and even the top of my head was covered with positive affirmations. When the group finished, I collected all of my notes and read them later. It was so wonderful to read all of the things people affirmed me in. It was completely refreshing, uplifting and a much needed experience.
I invite everyone who does not have a positive affirmation to come up with one. Take a line from a song, Bible verse or make something up. Write it down, post it somewhere so you'll see it and read it at the beginning and ending of each day. All of my affirmation Post-Its are in my car. I read them when I head out for the day and read them again when I stop. It's a good place for them because during the day if I need a pick me up they're there. But I also have my affirmation by the door to my bedroom. I see it whenever I leave the room.
Am I a completely positive person? No. But I am more positive, or at least less negative. Embrace the power of a positive affirmation. And be a blessing and pass them on to others
