YES! (That's me, affirming you ;)) I'm not so daily as much as occasionally, and my affirmations come directly from The Artist's Way and as such are somewhat serious and definitely spiritual, as am I, but whatever the content, the practice is very grounding. One of them is "I am willing to create" which is always a welcome reminder that I AM, in fact, willing to do this hard thing!
I love this Elayne! I certainly like the idea of daily affirmations. And there have been times in my life, when reading a positive quote has got me through tough times. I think as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more cynical though, at least towards myself! So they haven’t continued to have the same impact as they once did. But maybe I just need to find different affirmations. You’ve got me thinking!
Aww, I hear you, Peach! It's understandable to grow cynical--life experience itself supports it! But I also love that old Peter Gay quote, "Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats." Ha! Good luck finding some affirmations that ring true and "worth singing" for you!
