Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hi I didn't read your entire mail but i got the idea. AFIRMATIONS, been there done that! I started by wanting to say that the only affirmation that works for me today or, is my truth is: " when you love you WIN " But now I see it is not my truth because sometimes I don't love does it means that I lost? Maybe, but i had rather see myself as a winner so I drop all affirmation and just go with the flow I took a sleeping pill now i might not make sense T -- Beginning today I found this e-card on the internet, full of those positive affirmations and " clichés " I´ve been fed with my whole life. For a long time I truly believed in this and that it worked. OBS! I´m not saying it doesn´t work for you, just talking about my own experience here. I found the words so beauiful. I thought: " Yes, absolutely, this is how it should be! I am a believer!!! " I didn´t ever slow down, stop and ask myself: Is this really working? Is it true? For ME? Since the Work entered my mind I ask a lot more questions. Let me question this. Beginning Today Author Unknown Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. **Sounds like a plan. And my experience is that I have no way of knowing if I ever will worry about yesteday again or not. I´s out of my control. Sounds like a hopeless plan It is in the past and the past will never change. **Yes and no. My father hit me. That is in the past and I guess that won´t change, no matter how much I wish it would. What can happen though is that I change my thinking about him hitting me, from a painful thought to a peaceful one. Only I can change by choosing to do so. **I have a choise. Is that really true? I can choose to not worrie anymore. Doesn´t seem like it. I can choose to do the Work? That´s not my experience either. Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. **yes, I hear you. And can you please tell me exactly HOW to do it? Tomorrow will always be there, **Really? Always? I don´t even know if there are a next 15 minutes. waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today. **Wow. I didn´t know tomorrow had expectations on me. What I do know is that when I have the thought: " Tomorrow I am going to do the most of my day, or even, today I will do the most of my day " , I feel great stress. Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. **And what if I look in the mirror and see hate, aggressivness and fear? I know from experience that just telling myself: " No, today we will see respect and admiration " wont take away what I see. This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better. *'Yes, isn´t it great when that is what I see in the mirror? And sometimes I just don´t. Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life. **Please, give me a breake! Don´t you think I would have done that already if I knew how? I value the gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift with others. * " I will? I know nothing about that. Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter. **That could happen. Although it might not happen today. I will face challenges with courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self- improvement. **Or I will be too afraid or too tired or just satisfied enough with things as they are, to want to do any of the above. Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time. **Well, finally I agree. Is there another way? Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my desire to succeed or my capacity to love. **So if I forbid discouragement to show up in my thinking, it won´t? I don´t think so. Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness. Regardless of what has gone before. I believe there is hope for a brighter and better future. **Do you know what I believe in? This moment. Forget about the future. Start now. Can this moment be bright, hopefull and good? If not, what´s stoping you? Why postpone your happiness into the future when you can have it now? Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles. **If someone sees imferfection and foibles in other people and the world around them, I would guess it would be difficult to meet others with an open heart. Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy... admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath... Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures. **I agree. And when I was as most depressed it didn´t matter how much I told myself: To day I will... It didn´t happen anyway. Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try something different; I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer. I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. ** Laughing... The oldest myth of them all: " I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. " Never worked for me, and as I understand it, it hasn´t worked for thousands of other people either. I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be. **How about: I am already the best me I can possibly be? Whether it´s true or not, it´s such a peaceful story to me. Beginning Today, And Everyday. **Yep, everything is a beginning:) Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Ive read affirmations before.. Flo my Unity teacher gave the best affirmations.. " The Lord God omnipotent rules and reigns supreme. " was one of them no stress Or " I will reason, i will will, i will act but guide thou my reason will and activity to the right thing I should do in everything. " Which is a good affirmation but stressful because i dont think i do the right thing all the time. EVen though i have read there are no mistakes and no accidents. Anyway it is good to question affirmations which seem to be positive. I liked the .. I am already the best me I can be now. - I always think i need to improve.Its very stressful. thank you love, roslyn - In Loving-what-is , " " <skogsnuvan@y...> wrote: > > I found this e-card on the internet, full of those positive > affirmations and " clichés " I´ve been fed with my whole life.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 TAMI.. why are you taking sleeping pills..? All you have to do to sleep is read a book and pass a misunderstood word and you will get sleepy That is why Ron Hubbard said to use a dictionary when reading his books. The note about a dictionary is in every scientology book. because misunderstood words cause a person to blank out and then they will be reading along and not have a clue what they just read. And it can also cause a person to fall asleep. Just read something you dont understand. I dont think you need pills but it is not my business and i guess maybe you do if you believe that story. TA Tami should not take pills TA I should not take pills i dont take pills. I should not be a pill maybe I should take pills. People have told me that often. love, roslyn -- In Loving-what-is , Tamar Fattal <tamar_fa@0...> wrote: > > Hi > > I didn't read your entire mail > but i got the idea. > > AFIRMATIONS, been there done that! > > I started by wanting to say > that the only affirmation that works for me today > or, is my truth is: > " when you love you WIN " > > But now I see it is not my truth > because sometimes I don't love > does it means that I lost? > > Maybe, but i had rather see myself as a winner > so I drop all affirmation and > just go with the flow > > I took a sleeping pill now > i might not make sense > > T > > -- Beginning today > > I found this e-card on the internet, full of those positive > affirmations and " clichés " I´ve been fed with my whole life.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Ron Hubbard did not help me much except that i met my husband on one of the courses.. however, I do know a lot of people who have been helped. And some of his information i still use to this day even though i quit the course.. and it all applies. I think it gets a lot of bad press and i dont think it is for everyone it wasnt for me. love, roslyn aa > > > > Hi > > > > I didn't read your entire mail > > but i got the idea. > > > > AFIRMATIONS, been there done that! > > > > I started by wanting to say > > that the only affirmation that works for me today > > or, is my truth is: > > " when you love you WIN " > > > > But now I see it is not my truth > > because sometimes I don't love > > does it means that I lost? > > > > Maybe, but i had rather see myself as a winner > > so I drop all affirmation and > > just go with the flow > > > > I took a sleeping pill now > > i might not make sense > > > > T > > > > -- Beginning today > > > > I found this e-card on the internet, full of those positive > > affirmations and " clichés " I´ve been fed with my whole life.
