Positive Affirmations

    This week has been kind of rough for me. I'm debating whether or not to return to school for the summer session. The dilemma is that now I have a four month old baby at home and I'm trying to weigh out my options. I do not want to put her in daycare, but my boyfriend may have to start working outside the home soon. It is a fine and delicate balance sometimes. Weighing out options and choices often makes me feel extremely burdened and lost. In the past I have felt so paralyzed by options that I don't even act at all. Sometimes I feel that so afraid of doing the "wrong" thing that I don't do anything which is counter productive to my goals and where my family needs to be. The baby has been a blessing but also a stress factor in returning when and how I should finish my degree. This week I'm focusing on trusting in myself that I will make the right decisions and that everything will fall into place the way it should. I am reading an excellent book about how to free yourself from old thoughts and create a new theme for your life. My old theme was fear. My new theme is courage. I'm going to start believing in myself much more than I ever have in order to free myself from old burdens.

    I went through tons of boxes I had in the garage this week. I threw out so much and felt a little sad afterwards. I had all of these boxes that I thought were so important and when I went through it honestly, I realized how much crap was weighing me down. I really like this idea about picking a new theme for my life and I'm going to run with it. The old boxes represented something I used to be and it was sad letting go of that. It's also a little depressing when you realize you keep moving with a bunch of crap and your life can be boxed up so easily. You really can't think of it like that though. It's important to constantly change, grow, and literally "shed" parts of you that are no longer relevant. I honestly feel that my life has been stagnant for many years, until now, of course. My new baby Scarlet has really made me evaluate how poorly I adapt to change. She is constantly changing and constantly growing and I have to move with her. It's not enough to watch your children grow, you have to grow too. This week has really been about stepping out of what I'm afraid of and confronting it head on.

    I use my positive affirmations everyday to help me cope with change and grow. I don't want to be stagnant like I was. I want to thrive and prosper and fulfill all of my dreams. Not only for my sake, but for my family's sake too. The positive affirmations I'm working on now are to help me stop being afraid of change and truly thrive in this beautiful world that blesses me every single day.

My positive affirmations for the week are

I am flexible and adaptable to change.

I allow myself the freedom to grow and thrive.

I welcome change and I trust in God to provide me with the flexibility needed to adapt.

I am free of past burdens and let the past die peacefully.

I trust in the process of life to open up doors for me wherever I go.

Every decision I make is divinely inspired and leads me to my greatest good.

How To Use Money Affirmations

    When you are having financial troubles, money affirmations can really help you. Sometimes we worry that we won't be able to make ends meet. Everyone suffers financial difficulties at some point. Often we have trained ourselves to not accept good in our lives. We allow negativity to seep in and make us think we deserve all of the bad happening around us. It is never too late to change your thinking by starting to accept the good we don't feel we deserve. Maybe you were raised with the idea that money will always run out, like I was. Maybe you created other financial obstacles because that is what you saw as a child. It is never too late to start accepting more good in your life.

Step 1) Think about what your financial situation is. Do you lack job security? Do you worry about not having enough money saved? Do you worry that your paycheck won't cover all of your bills? We all do or have at some point in our lives, but just because you have always struggled doesn't mean you always have to.

Step 2) Create your money affirmation. Use your own words that you feel comfortable saying. You might try something like

1. Everything I need always comes to me.
   
2. I am open and receptive to new sources of income
   
3. I have a great new job and I am well paid
   
4. The universe always fulfills all of my financial needs
   

Step 3) Write out your money affirmations before you start the day. Have faith that everything you need will come to you. Change the bad ideas you have about yourself. Catch yourself when you feel you are being resistant to believing.

Step 4) Keep your affirmations in the back of your mind. Banish negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. You might not believe it at first and you might feel silly, but keep at it until it feels natural to you.

    Here are some money affirmations that I like to use. The best are the ones that you would use in your own language. You can open yourself up to having more that life has to offer by using money affirmations to communicate your desires with the universe. Often we grew up with certain limiting ideas about money. I know I did. I grew up really poor and I realize now as an adult, that I created very limiting beliefs about myself and money. We never had enough and I was always scared that we would run out. Luckily we didn't most of the time, but lots of times in my childhood were a financial struggle. This is probably one of the main reasons I left home at 15 years old.

    I still struggle with money today. I never learned how to manage money or how to save or how to spend money on important things. Instead of spending money on important things, I would "save" until my money finally just dwindled away. I am improving everyday though and looking at money from a more logical perspective. I use positive affirmations to change my views on money and money has been coming in more regularly.

1. I am a magnet for abundance.
   
2. Money comes quickly and easily to me
   
3. I am open to new sources of income
   
4. I am willing to change my beliefs about money
   
5. I am paid on time for the work that I do
   
6. I am well paid for the work that I do
   
7. I am open to receiving expected and unexpected income    
   
8. All of my needs are met
   
9. My savings is increasing everyday
   
10. My monthly income is increasing
    

    
     

These are great money affirmations to get you started. Feel free to use them and elaborate on your own concepts. Use positive affirmations that feel natural to you. Say them out loud and remember them throughout your day.

    I have been struggling lately to learn new things on the internet. I'm learning about blogging, seo, article writing etc. It is making my head spin and it feels overwhelming. I have a three month old baby girl and I've been trying to make money at home by writing for different sites. It has been overwhelming, but I will figure it out.

Every day I pick three affirmations that I'm going to focus on. Often they are repeats from the day before, but modified.

Today my positive affirmations will be

1. I learn new things quickly and easily. I really need this positive affirmation to avoid the stress I feel from learning about using the internet.
   
2. Everything I need to know will be revealed to me. This affirmation will help me trust in the universe that all of the knowledge I need will come to me.
   
3. The best path finds me. There are so many ways to market your articles online. I trust that God will show me the right path in this positive affirmation.
   
4. Then I write them out at least ten times. I'm going to be writing them here because it saves me time. A big bonus!
   
5. While I'm writing them out, I'm saying them out loud. I keep these thoughts in my head throughout the day.
