I have been greatly enjoying this group since I joined

last week. My name is nn and I am 40 years old. I joined this

group as I have discovered recently the writings of Louise Hay and

wanted to get more reinforcement of her ideas. I have suffered from

low-self esteem all of my life and doing the affirmations are very

foreign to me. But I am trying to really practice this as I want to

be happy and I want to deserve the best things in life and not just

always expect the worst to happen. Thanks.

A warm welcome to you nn.. =) Glad you found the group! I too have

had low self esteem all my life, and Louise Hay's writings have helped me

sooooooo much.. It still seems 'weird' to me to put her ideas into practice.

That's the main reason I joined this group, to be able to be around others

and discuss her ideas and the ideas of other writers as well. Cuz it's just

exactly like you said, we want to be happy.. We already deserve the best

things in life! Am thinking that as we practice these affirmations, they

won't seem so foreign to us.. Sometimes it still seems to me that it's all

too simplistic to really work, but I reassured by those who write in that it

all does work! So it's all good knowing that we can indeed turn our lives

around..

I am 48 years old, live in Nebraska, and have 3 sons ages 22, 20, and 18..

Am still kinda sorta new to the group myself.. well, I guess we all are

really, the group is still kinda sorta new.. <grins>.. Am looking forward to

getting to know you better, as well as the other newer members in here.. And

again, welcome to our group.. =)

Blessings,

Daph

Hi nn,

Welcome! I'm glad to meet you. :-D

Doing the affirmations is something new to me as well and I still

don't do them like Louise says we should, like mirror work for

example. The mirror and I are no longer enemies, but we're not

exactly friends either. lol Do what you're comfortable with, and

adapt the various tools and techniques to what works for you. And

remember, baby steps. You've started on a wonderful journey that

does, I'm sorry to say, take a lot of hard work and determination.

It's very easy to loose ground if you allow the old stinking thinking

to settle in.

Bright blessings,
