affirmations........

When I was first introduced to idea of using affirmations to make my dreams come true, it sounded so simple.


All I had to do was consistently, parrot fashion, repeat a phrase which would magically make my life one worth living.


That simple, huh?


No.

Not really. Nothing much changed.

Then I was told that saying things like ~'all is well'~ meant that obviously all was not well and that by saying that it was well, was highlighting the lack of all-well-ness.



Mmmm - not simple at all. Complicated.




Then along came a new (to me) way of thinking.

Still using pretty much the same affirmations, but using them differently.


All is well in my world - and meaning it when I said it. Believing it and knowing it and trusting it and living it and allowing myself to see it and allowing others to see it.

Then I understood the difference.

We have all gone along to theatres to watch stage shows, or watched children in a school play, or sat in front of the television, watching whatever is being broadcast.

There is nothing more tedious than watching a wooden, unskilled person delivering lines directly from the script.

There is nothing more moving than an actor - an ACTOR - presenting his part according to the script - and taking you from laughter, to woe, to despair, to joy, to exhiliration as you watch him perform.

There is the difference. The actor gets you involved. Gets you feeling real emotions. Has you believing what you are watching.

That is how affirmations work. When, despite knowing 'what is', you believe the new image you are presenting to your brain. Despite the challenges you currently face, you KNOW that you are moving into the dream you are dreaming. FEELING the joy in the image you hold. KNOWING what it is like to love, to be loved, to be in awe of beauty and surrounded by abundance.

Get involved in your affirmations. Move yourself into that place of wonder and awe and excitement and joy about what you are creating for yourself.

Then watch the magic begin..........


and then share it with me, please.
