Affirmations for today!

I first heard of Louise Hay too many years ago to even contemplate and yet that little book "You can Heal your Life' has been part of my library every since...I carried a pocket version of it around in my handbag for years. It was that important to me.
But life has a way of twisting and turning and I explored many different avenues of healing, thinking and being and that little book disappeared from my handbag although the concept of how my thinking impacts my physical well being never left me.
Ever since first reading that book I have embraced wholeheartedly the concept of how I think has a direct impact on my physical wellbeing.
It's a standard in my circle of friends that when some illness or affliction is present in our lives that we say 'I wonder what Louise Hay says about that'.
Often I've thought about how heavy my toolbox has become, lots of workshops have been done, many, many self help books have been read and I've explored numerous other avenues of thinking....so many tools I gathered that I couldn't help but think from time to time that my toolbox was becomming way too heavy.
So heavy in fact that it was often difficult to see the forest for the trees in some ways.
It came as no surprise then that I found myself in possession of a cd recently called "you can do it" by Louise Hay and low and behold when I played that I'm sure she was speaking directly to me!
I had become that person who parroted on about how affirmations don't work, I could hear myself saying ' it doesn't matter how much you affirm this or that, if it;s not meant to be then it just won;'t happen"....I almost cringe now when I recall my arrogance and self righteousness.....and then I laugh at myself and am grateful that I have found my way back onto the path.
Those affirmations are important, they do work and I am embracing them wholeheartedly once again...I've come full circle and am happy to say I'm not always right...yes hard as they may sound for some! lol
So I have chosen my affirmations, I have written them down in my little book that I carry in my handbag...I do my best to recall them and repeat them out aloud as I'm driving or wherever I am that it feels right. I might not get them right in those instances but I recall them in the present tense, I believe that I am on  the threshold of new beginnings and am happy to use them as my creed.
Then when I have my little moment and my book in hand I repeat them again as I've written them.

It's funny how life rolls around and around, another layer of that onion has been peeled away and I am getting to the core of my being and it feels good.
