Attitudes & Affirmations

What are affirmations?

I like to define them as positive reinforcements that you give yourself to keep negativity from pervading your daily existence.

Here is a partial list of affirmations that I incorporate into my daily life

• All issues of life, painful and otherwise, are learning experiences.
• Those who reared you, despite their apparent flaws, were doing the best they could.
• In the moment of your greatest pain you may be experiencing your greatest opportunity to “grow”.
• The search for parental approval or acceptance can be destructive.
• Until we are affirmed by a significant “other”, our achievements will seldom give us sustained happiness.
• Negative actions by others in our development can be held to be a detriment to our growth and happiness.
• We are limited by our prevailing awareness.
