Affirmations

Affirmations are positive statements which, when said to yourself over and over again, can help recreate your reality. It helps when you listen to the affirmations, to imagine or feel them as true. It gives them more power to change your life. Feel free to choose some from the following list and/or add or alter them to suit your needs. If you want to tape yourself saying the affirmations, accompanied by inspirational music, it makes for a nice 'time out' or gentle companion during a meditative exercise program; such as Yoga. The following affirmations were gathered from various sources and are my personal favorites.
