Your Charmed Life

30 days to a charmed life Day 29: compose a personal affirmation

Saturday November 7, 2009

wisdom cards.jpgThere are wonderful affirmations in books. Louise Hay is the queen of them, and way back in the 1930s Florence Scovill Shinn wrote an astounding compilation of them in a book called Your Word Is Your Wand. Reading what these affirmative women have to say is a great way to prime your own creative pump, but the very best affirmations are the ones you come up with for yourself. They fit your life, your circumstances, the way you talk, and the way you think. They "fit" you and with that comes their power.

The following came from a lovely woman named Allison who reads this blog:

Hi, Victoria -- 

I have so enjoyed following your "30 Days..."  I don't know whether it was your
inspiring words, or my just trying to rouse myself from the general malaise that I have felt lately, but one morning I woke up feeling dismal and started thinking about how when I was younger, I woke up every day thinking that something amazing might happen that day.  I thought about how I could recapture that sense of possibility in my life.
 
Later that morning I sat down at my computer and wrote the following:
 
Just show up.
 
Anything can happen today.
 
Something amazing will happen today.
 
I immediately felt as if a switch were flipped in my head.  I felt excited and motivated
and worked on my writing projects for four hours without stopping.  Now, I keep those
words on a page on my desktop and I try to remember to read them first thing every morning.
 
So, let Louise and Florence and Allison inspire you, but go inside where your own wisdom lives and come up with your own mental formula, words that will help change your thinking. And when your thinking changes, the rest follows. "Be thou transformed by the renewing of your mind," St. Paul said. That's the point behind doing affirmations. They're a transformational tool. And you're a transformational being.

Thanks, Victoria, I LOVED '30 Days to a Charmed Life'! I first heard you speak at NAVS Summerfest a few years ago and have become a big fan. This past year, you were the main reason we went back to Summerfest. I want to sincerely thank you for sharing so much of your life and your wisdom with us!
