Teachable Tuesday :: Affirmations

Last week, I eluded to by "Affirmation Box" when I talked 

about "Loving My Hat".  

I shared some of the affirmations that I carry around

about relationships.

 

A few months ago, I read a book that really changed my thinking.

One of the things that the author suggested was writing

down affirmations & reading them daily.

I was at the point in my life where I desired

TRUE change.  I was tired of talking ABOUT it & 

I was ready to DO it.

I was a walking Nike advertisement...

"JUST DO IT"!

So, I begin to write down things that I would read that I wanted 

to get through my THICK skull.  Affirmations, quotes, scripture verses...

I wrote them down & I stuck them in my "Affirmation Box".

I tucked the box into my Mary Poppins' size purse

(I mean...really?  What is ONE more thing when you already carry your entire house?)

And, I began to read them.

Every morning...every night...

And, the times in between when I would find myself with a few minutes on my hands.

And, a CRAZY thing happened...

My thinking started to CHANGE!

Anytime I would resort BACK to my old way of 

thinking or doing things....

one of my affirmations would 

POP

into my head.

And, so...

I started adding more & more to my 

Affirmation Box.

I keep blank cards in there now, 

so I write them down as I come across them.

So, if you're looking to ZHUSH up your thinking...

give this a try.

I couldn't imagine NOT having one now. 

Write down those scriptures you want to soak into your spirit,

lay down those relationship rules & make them AIR TIGHT,

set your fitness goals, your work motivation, parenting advice...

JUST WRITE IT DOWN

AND

LOOK AT IT DAILY.

So, there ya have it...

a little Teachable Tuesday

&

 simple

LIFE CHANGING

affirmations.
