It’s a great day.
It’s a great day.
Life is damn good.
Life is damn good.
Thank you for the
gift of my life.
Thank you for the
gift of my life.
Thank you for this
day
And all the
miracles that it will certainly bring.
(Repeat over and
over all day long.)
I
woke up walking sideways with my head foggy and dense with heavy congestion
that affected me: mind, body, heart and soul.
I acknowledged all I was feeling not denying what was but know the power of affirmations to help me shift into
another gear so I began to say over and over:
It’s a great day…It’s a great day…Life
is damn good…Life is damn good…Thank you for my life…Thank you for my life…Thank
you for this day and all the miracles that it will certainly bring. I put one foot in front of the other
doing the things I needed to do assuring my Self that all is well; everything
is good even when it didn’t feel that way.
When
I got to the fitness center in my condo building, a neighbor and I made eye
contact exchanging pleasantries. Then,
he said in a way that I knew he was trying to convince himself: It’s a
great day. We laughed together with
a shared knowing that it is a great day even when we are off-kilter and
reminding our Self of this is a powerful tool to shift gears. I explained to him where I was and how I had
been saying those exact words over and over to tap into and invite the
greatness of the day regardless of how I was feeling. It was a wonderful connection with someone I
had never spoken to before that moment enlivening me with a sense of how our
stories play out differently but the human journey is a shared experience full of
similar challenges, struggles and triumphs – small and large.
While
it is important to acknowledge our feelings and not deny them, it is equally as
essential not to wallow in them or identify with them to the point where we are
swept away like a river flooding through us, knocking us off our center,
carrying us into overwhelm that is all-consuming. We are not our feelings yet we have feelings
about everything. We are far more than
the sum of our experiences and yet the experiences of our life are information
about where we are and help us get clear on what we want. We are creatures of soul – limitless and
magnificent. Self-talk through affirming
dialogue allows us to tap into our higher Self, that well of strength, courage,
truth that creates miracles in our lives, lifting us beyond the muck that
restricts us with heaviness as we feel burdened, hopeless, defeated and powerless.
The invitation this day is to experience the power of Self-talk where no matter what you are experiencing or feeling at any moment, you remember all that lies within you. From this space, all things are possible as we hold the paradox of life that everything is okay even when it doesn’t feel okay. The soul is nourished by truth so speak it all day long
