"I am a worthy human being."

Greetings,

In my great quest for power and knowledge (insert chuckle here) one of the things that you hear often is about the power of affirmations. The most moving would be from Stuart Smalley, in my humble opinion."I deserve good things, I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am an attractive person. I am fun to be with." Stuart Saves His Family, 1995).

Positive affirmations are said to be one of the most powerful tools you can use in your quest for happiness, fulfillment, emotional freedom and general well-being. Once you have identified things in your life that you would like to transform, creating and using affirmations can really bring positive changes.

Using affirmations stops you from feeling that you are not doing anything to improve your situation. Many positive changes come as a result of internal rather than external work. Some very powerful affirmations are self affirmations, which focus on transforming negative beliefs or feelings about your own abilities, self worth and self image. Positive affirmations work by reprogramming your thinking and beliefs. The way to get effective results is with constant repetition.

   I am a worthy human being.
      I am a worthy human being.  
           I am a worthy human being.

Friday night and here I sit spreading the word of a fictional character, but you have to love Stuart!
I am not sure really how this whole affirmation thing works in the grand scheme of things. I have done it. I don't really feel anything mystically changing in the depths of my soul BUT reprogramming the negative things, the negative hurtful words that live within us... that takes some talent.
Some where some how in my own head I became not good enough and not strong enough, and taking that back is so important.

 In yesterdays post in a comment I made reference to essentially NOT doing this, not falling prey to others telling me what I can do. I was refering to my own demons that I have created in my head yesterday. However once I was that person that was weak and submissive. I would crumble, so that old part of me is gone. Now I would say fuck you, in that respect I am a stronger woman.

Too many people get beaten down with words, words hurt so much more than hands and trust me I know this. Words, especially from some one you love telling you that you are not worthy, that you are stupid, that you are ugly...whatever the hurtful word is it burrows into your brain and you need to take it back. A person who needs to attack you with words to make themselves feel better they are the one with the issues. Don't own the illness, shortcomings, and disease that belong to some one else. Just take it back. Take back your power. Take back your control. Know that you are strong and amazing.

Remember how important it is to watch your words...once you put them into the air, once they are heard, you can't take them back.

Love and Light!
