Affirmations. Yuck. I find them so silly. I mean, I feel ridiculous talking to myself, telling myself things I don't believe. It sounds way to hokey for me.
On the other hand, I don't seem to find it silly when I talk to myself other times, like when I get mad at myself for making a mistake. Or when I beat myself up mentally because of some silly thing.
I can talk to myself when I am beating the crap out of me, but I can't talk to myself positively? Great. How bass-akward is that?!
(A little game for you... I do believe one of the above affirmations to be true,
at least for me, but I believe the other one to be false, at least for me. Can you figure out which is which?
i thought affirmations were really dumb when I first started recovery... but now i find them to be very helpful. The thing i have learned is to find ones that speak to me and those are the ones that can help the most.
ReplyDeletei think the one on the left is the one you believe to be true ; )
You make a good point - the ones that I do believe, I don't find silly. Guess I gotta go look for a few more of those! After all, I love learning new things! ;-)
