How to Make Yourself Feel Good
When I was growing up, I remember the Saturday Night Live skit where Stuart Smalley looked in the mirror and said, “ You are good enough. You are strong enough. And gosh-Darn it! People like you.” It was silly and cheesy, but today I actually catch myself doing the same thing!
I am so grateful that we have come into a time where so much “woo” is accepted! Affirmations, in particular have had a HUGE impact in my life and I am so glad that I have moved past the awkward part where it felt so weird to speak postivitly to myself.
In fact, I have made it a practice. I would love to say it is a daily practice, but I want to keep it real- I am human and I forget- sometimes for weeks- to do this. HOWEVER, every time I do, I feel so much better. The practice I am referring to is writing a page of affirmations. Affirmations are statements that are written in a positive format that are about YOU!
Using “I am” statements is a super powerful way to anchor positivity into your inner-being and make them truly part of who you are. Example- I am beautiful. I am worthy. I am successful. I am a money magnet.”
You can also write the statements like, “ People love giving me money. Everywhere I go, people feel good. I exude love and people enjoy being around me.”
Try writing a page at a time and just write whatever comes to your mind. You can repeat statements or have a mix of statements or have a page of the same statements. Whatever makes you feel good at that moment because this is ONLY FOR YOU to CELEBRATE YOU!!!
You can also write these statements on sticky notes around and post them around your house so and when you look at them, read them out loud or in your head. I like this because it’s like a surprise compliment!! LOL.
