Positive Affirmation

I’m a big believer in the power of how we speak to ourselves and have been using affirmations for going on 10 years. I also use them with my patients. And fully back up that they work, even if in the beginning you feel redonkulous speaking to yourself in the mirror.
I used to be someone who truly hated herself. I had very little belief in myself. I felt ugly and useless, I could never do anything right, I was never good enough. I envied other women from the very saddest parts of me and I could never measure up. Now I look myself in the mirror everyday and tell myself I am worthy and beautiful, that I can achieve great things. And I know it sounds silly to an outsider looking in but it works. It really really works.
Another thing that I recommend is starting your day asking yourself, who do you want to be? Some word it about how you want to be remembered. I typically write separate ones as a mother and partner things like, honest, loving, safe, supportive. As a person/friend kind, optimistic, grateful. And career oriented ones, attentive, hard working, safe, passionate. It sets the day on the right tones. And just puts that little spark, like “hey girl, this is who you are, and you got this, you got all of this”.4 -

Why did you stop believing?
I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause under the mistletoe.
Also, a day without any problems is a sign that you’re travelling on the wrong path.
“Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
For me it was when it was when I left some mince pies and carrots for Santa and his reindeer; he left a thank you note.....in my grandma's handwriting.
I think I was more annoyed at the laziness...get someone to write the note whose handwriting I didn't know.2 -
