On April 12, I decided to embark on another 30 Day journey.  As I reached a personal and physical milestone of losing 100lbs, I felt that I still had baggage that was preventing me from truly being excited about the current journey I am on.  I know that there is power in the words that we think and speak so I decided to embark on another 30 day journey–one that focused on my emotional, mental, and spiritual health.  I decided that for the next 30 days, I would decide on and post an affirmation as well as a personal reflection.

The journey began on April 13.  Here is the index to the affirmations I chose and reflected on each day.

Day 1: I am splendiferous.
I am willing to see my magnificence.

Day 2:  I am grateful.
The more grateful I am, the more reasons I find to be grateful.

Day 3: I am on a wonderful adventure.
Today is a very exciting time in my life. I am on a wonderful adventure and will never go through this particular experience again.

But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do God’s work and speak out for God, to tell others of the night-and-day difference God made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. (1 Peter 2:9-10)

Day 13: I love my thighs.
I love every inch of my wonderful body. I choose to remember that many people do not have fully functional bodies. Many people do not have legs to walk on, arms to hug with, eyes to see with, or ears to hear with. I remind myself that I am blessed with the miracle of a healthy, mobile body, and I rejoice in that fact.

Day 14: I am what I think.

In exploring these adventures, I am able to discover talents I never knew I had and strengthen my skills. They bring the richness of new cultures and new ideas to challenge my old ways of thinking.

Day 23: I give, easily.
It is easy for me to be generous. Generosity is my true nature. Every time I give, I set in motion the law of cause and effect. Every time I give, I give with undivided attention and unconditional love. Through my giving I participate in the flow of universal abundance.

I…can fly.

Day 30: I am the author of my life.
“I am the author of my life. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind.  As I child, I accepted authority figures as gods.  Now I am learning to take back my power and become my own authority figure.  I accept myself as a powerful, responsible being.  As I meditate every morning, I get in touch with my inner wisdom.  The school of life is deeply fulfilling as I come to know that we are all students and all teachers.  We each have come to learn something and to teach something.  As I listen to my thoughts, I gently guide my mind toward trusting my own Inner Wisdom.  I grow and blossom and entrust all my affairs on Earth to God.  All is well. I go beyond barriers to possibilities.” Louise Hay
