Using Affirmations – From My 8 Year Old Son
Affirmations are positively framed words that help influence our state of mind. Check out my Using Affirmations page for my take on how to apply them in life.
Using Affirmations from my 8-year-old son (well, 8 and a half!)
My son wrote these affirmations for me last week when he saw me getting overwhelmed and stressed. I think I may frame them!
He used Easter bunny stickies and creatively turned them into a book.
In the meantime, I’m going to share them here with you to let their magic spread into your brain chemistry…and others.
Always nice to be taught a lesson on using affirmations from a younger person, and a reminder to get out of my own head. Enjoy!
Using Affirmations – How We First Need to Believe In Ourselves
1. Believe (see picture above).
2. Trust Yourself. To make it a reflexive I experience, try…
I trust myself or
I can rely on myself…
Even, I trust my Inner Guidance.
It’s interesting to note how the shape and color are effective when using affirmations this way… only noticed this as I’m scanning these on here.
3. Trust your heart, not your head.
Again, use the reflexive I construct when using affirmations.
(You can try both by saying them to yourself with your eyes closed; you’ll notice a difference).
I trust my heart.
(You can leave the negative construct out of the language e.g., ‘not your head’ when using affirmations, or replace it with…
I trust my heart. My mind is balanced and clear.
From the EMF Balancing Technique®, we would say
I feel with my mind and think with my heart. 🙂
4. Using Affirmations – Be the best you can be
Nice!
So make it the reflexive ‘I’ and also with some sense of future becoming – that puts us under less pressure when using affirmations and opens us to future potentials.
I am constantly becoming the best that I am
I am the best I can be
5. Love, love, love, you can always trust
Wow. Other than the reflexive ‘I’, how can I possibly improve on this one?
I trust in love, love, love
Or simply…
Love, love, love
I’m so proud of my deep-thinking boy! (Sniff).
If you want to learn more about using affirmations, here’s a book review of You Can Heal Your Life from Louise Hay, one of my personal favorites.

One way to grow your emotional coherence is to begin to work with your Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (aka your intuition).
If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.
This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –
- Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
- Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
- Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.

Wow. That’s all I need to say.
Made me sniff too :o)
I love this! I never thought of having my children write down affirmations. Well only one of them can write at this point and he simply HATES doing it. I sure try this as they get older. On of the things I do do with them is when they are feeling down on themselves I remind them that they are good kids and can do anything and that they are loved and they are loving. I have them repeat these words so that they know for themselves that it is true. Just never really though of these moments as affirmations. Thanks!
Thanks Keya! Glad you enjoyed it! If your children are still before writing age, they can always do spoken or acted affirmations! You can have them watch Jessica’s daily affirmation on Youtube for some ideas! Here’s the link through my affirmations Pinterest board. http://pinterest.com/pin/93097917267003934/
As usual, the children showing us the way!
Hi Julie across the pond there!
Happy to know I made you sniff!

Hi Sarah,
How wonderful and amazing that Arianna made these to give to you. My children are constantly amazing me with their depth, understanding, growth and maturity and I see that yours do the same for you. They are still children, but the glimpses into depth is awe inspiring. I’m so grateful that I’m learning to get out of my head and into the moment so that I can notice and truly appreciate these gifts from my children. Thank you for sharing the gift from yours. You are doing wonderful things, for us, for your children and for yourself.
