Affirmations:
I enjoy the life I have.
Everyday I learn what I want and what is not best for me.
I remember I am the one choosing.
I easily forgive, erase and choose again.
Is Life Working for You?
Are you using your life to have what is best for you?
Is life an
obvious projection of your thinking and feeling?
Are you aware
that you are an actor in the play of your life?
Do you notice how
you can and are writing and directing your life story?
Do you watch your thoughts, feelings and behavior?
Do you notice how
you can exaggerate or minimize?
Do you see how
your emotional reactions influence your experience?
Have you learned
you are not the victim of your own life?
Yes,
you can sit back and enjoy the drama.
You can get caught
up in your own movie.
You can create more
intrigue, tragedy or comedy.
You can live as the
villain, hero or persecuted one.
When
we look at our life on a timeline, we can see the highs and lows.
We will notice blank
places with no memorable events.
We can even see how
we cast ourselves in parts we don’t like.
We can see all the
limiting beliefs and misperceptions we have held.
Because
those around us believe they are victims of life, we often believe it to be
true.
Because people tell
stories as though we are all “at the effect of life”, we buy in too.
Because we may not
want to make out own choices and be responsible, we may go along.
When we wake up to
our will and our way, we will enjoy living our truth and singing our own song.
It
is fun to explore and experiment with how it all works.
We begin to discover
we can take time off with or without getting sick.
We recognize that
how people feel about us has to do with how they feel about themselves.
We understand our
best defense and protection is a deeply and profoundly loving offense.
Life
becomes a play of variety and delight when we find how we can change it anytime
we want.
We can go up or
down, leave or stick around.
We can sing or laugh
or cry at the blink of an eye.
All we have to do is
change our mind and go where we want to go.
We
can follow the crowd, play nice and get along with everyone.
We can step aside
and do our own thing the way we choose.
We can stir up
others with our talk and behavior.
We can help and heal
and serve with our kind endeavors.
It
becomes easy to see how fun life can be, when we practice the play in different
ways.
We stop complaining
and crying, cease blaming and having regret.
We know this is our
life, our choice and our will to live true to ourselves.
We stop feeling
guilty and enjoy doing and undoing, creating and erasing.
If
your life isn’t working, just change it!
Loving us all as we
learn to choose and change.
