Find Time to Give an Affirmation Boost to YOU!

Posted on March 23, 2010, under Time and Energy.

Finding time to energize yourself with affirmations is always time well spent. Today I want to share an exciting and simple, sensory-based “tickler” system that will let you give yourself gifts of validation throughout the day.

Try it for several weeks so that it becomes a nourishing, self-affirming habit for you. Watch how your energy and attitude are affected, each and every day!

Here’s all you need to do:

Choose a color, a sound, a word, a smell. It can be pretty much anything — or a combination of things. What you choose should be something that you are likely to encounter in the course of your day.
Next, decide on a validation to associate with whatever “trigger” you chose.
You can have as many “triggers” and validations as you want. I suggest keeping it relatively simple to start. Have fun with it!

When you see the color green for example, you can have a word or phrase that you bring to mind — “growth” perhaps — or “I love how I am blossoming”! The sound of a bird chirping could lead you to say to yourself, “I am grateful to be alive!” Seeing a dog trot by might be an opportunity to say to yourself, “I love my playful energy!”

I have a friend who travels a lot. Whenever she comes to a red light, she uses that as a time to pause and focus on her in and out breath, saying to herself: “Breathing in, I give myself what I need. Breathing out, I let go of stress.” How wonderful, turning the small annoyance of a stop light into an opportunity to reconnect and relax!

Practice using these validations that you develop for yourself on a daily basis and see how your energy lightens and shifts for you with each affirmation! And let me know how it goes – I’d love to hear!
