Affirmation | HealingEnergyTherapies at Gallery Helios

Sometimes it’s hard to be me, but I deeply and completely love and accept myself, I forgive myself, and anybody else, for contributing to this situation. I have issues like:

not having enough time to do all the things I want, but that’s ok
not completing things I start, but that’s ok
not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career, but that’s ok
having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies, but that’s ok
feeling confined when I’m in a one-to-one relationship, but that’s ok

But hey! Life is mostly good. I choose to appreciate myself for:

being optimistic and not letting life’s troubles get me down
being spontaneous and free-spirited
being outspoken and outrageous. It’s part of the fun.
being generous and trying to make the world a better place
having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures
having such varied interests and abilities

I now CHOOSE to release…

all reckless and destructive impulses.
feeling that I will be overwhelmed by anxiety.
all compulsions and addictions.
burning myself out by trying to satisfy all of my desires.
running away from the consequences of my actions.
insulting or abusing others to vent my frustrations.
allowing my insecurities to drive me into dangerous situations and behavior.
sacrificing my health and happiness for instant gratification.
being demanding and impatient with others.
fearing that there will not be enough for me.
always feeling that I need more.
wanting every moment to be exciting and dramatic.
escaping from myself through distractions and constant activity.
letting my lack of self-discipline ruin my opportunities.
overextending myself with more than I can do well.
believing that external things will make me happy.

I now CHOOSE to affirm…

that I am happiest when I am calm and centered.
that I can say no to myself without feeling deprived.
that there will be enough for me of whatever I need.
that I am resilient in the face of setbacks.
that I find satisfaction in ordinary things.
that I stay with projects until I complete them.
that I care deeply about people and am committed to their happiness.
that there is a spiritual dimension to my life.
that I am profoundly grateful to be alive.

Even though I have all these issues below, I now understand that it is part of who I am, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, I forgive myself and I forgive anyone else who contributed to these issues. Sometimes it’s hard to be me, I have issues like

the constant push and pull involved in trying to make up my mind, but that’s ok
procrastinating because of fear of failure; having little confidence in myself, but that’s ok
fearing being abandoned or taken advantage of, but that’s ok
exhausting myself by worrying and scanning for danger, but that’s ok
wishing I had a rule book at work so I could do everything right, but that’s ok
being too critical of myself when I haven’t lived up to my expectations, but that’s ok
Now that I understand more, that I am more than the sum of my emotions, thoughts and actions, I can also choose to transcend and release those energies which are not in my best interest to retain.

I now choose to release…

my fear of being abandoned and alone.
my self-defeating, self-punishing tendencies.
all feelings of dread about the future.
feeling persecuted, trapped, and desperate.
overreacting and exaggerating my problems.
taking out my fears and anxieties on others.
being suspicious of others and thinking the worst of them.
feeling inferior and incapable of functioning on my own.
feeling cowardly and unsure of myself.
acting “tough” to disguise my insecurities.
my fear and dislike of those who are different from me.
blaming others for my own problems and mistakes.
being evasive and defensive with those who need me.
my tendency to be negative and complaining.
my fear of taking responsibility for my mistakes.
looking to others to make me feel secure.

I choose to acknowledge and appreciate myself for my strong points, like

being committed and faithful to family and friends
being responsible and hardworking
being compassionate toward others
having intellect and wit
being a nonconformist
confronting danger bravely
being direct and assertive

I now choose to affirm…

that I am independent and capable.
that I can keep my own identity in groups and in relationships.
that I have faith in myself, my talents, and my future.
that I meet difficulties with calmness and confidence.
that I am secure and able to make the best of whatever comes my way.
the kinship I have with every human being.
that I am understanding and generous to all who need me.
that I act courageously in all circumstances.
that I find true authority within me.
