Daily Affirmations... Try Them.

I often have moments... very brief... but moments none the less of complete realization. Where I am so gung ho to get better and throw myself into it. Then I fail, and I am right back where I started... in the loving being of ED. I love when these moments come though because it gives me a sense that I wont be lost in this forever. About a year and a half ago I was in one of these phases where I wanted to better everything, and everything all at once. I spontaneously enrolled myself into a part-time program at George Brown for image consulting. Looking back on that now, that is the LAST program I should have gotten myself involved in. Six courses, five weeks a piece... Needless to say, I only lasted two and a half courses. The second course however, I was introduced to the most influential person I have yet to meet. The things I learned in his class still resonate with me today. The class: Personal Development. His name: Joshua Zuchter. If you ever have an opportunity to witness him speak, or attend one of his workshops... do it. Look him up. He is a life coach and inspirational speaker. Anyhow, I came across our final project yesterday that he had us complete. He believed highly in daily affirmations and speaking about your future and your goals as if you were living them today. To believe you would accomplish only greatness in life. As I read the words on the piece of paper I cried as I was in utter disbelief that these thoughts came from me. The only way I knew that I had wrote them was from the handwriting that I was seeing. So the first part was to think of four positive affirmations in each part of your world. The Physical, Mental, Emotional, and lastly the Spiritual. The second part was to think of sixty statements about where you want to be in five years. While my list is my ideal life, it is going to take me more than five years to get there, but I will get there. Hopefully in seven haha. I've got some time. The idea of the project was to write down positive things, even if you don't believe them in the least, to push yourself into a more affirmative lifestyle. That just by thinking positive will bring about the positive and a great energy into your life. That the more good you think, the bad will slowly disappear.  Part of me doesn't want to post this because it makes me sound full of myself, but I believe by now you understand that I am the farthest thing from being full of myself, so here it is. Don't laugh at how far fetched it may be k?
