Using Affirmations – written Affirmation 7 day exercise

I recently completed an exercise where I wrote 40 affirmations per day for 7 days.

All affirmations needed to be written in the positive frame and start with the words ‘I am’.

This suggested exercise came from Iyanla Vanzant’s excellent Stimu-Mail series.

Writing Affirmations – 40 per day?  Sounds a little off-putting…

I was excited to try this exercise because I love Iyanla Vanzant’s work, both on Oprah with her excellent series Fix My Life and her written work also.

Still, as I sat there with my blank page 40 affirmations did seem a lot – per day??

I took a breath and got going writing affirmations.

My first three were

I am a writer.

I am an energy worker.

I am energy.

Oh, this is interesting…my brain is going in a direction.

As I wrote more affirmations each day, I noticed a few things happening

First of all, my mind got really quiet while I was writing affirmations.  Sometimes the words would come out in a stream or almost a block…then there might be a pause.

I also began to notice when I slipped out of writing affirmations in the positive frame and needed to adjust my focus.

For example, with one affirmation I initially wrote

I am trusting life to teach me exactly what I need to know.

That didn’t feel satisfying, so I changed it to

I am trusting.

As I look at it now, even better would be

I am trust.

Doing this exercise makes me feel really, really happy!

The happiness quotient of writing affirmations seems to last for days afterwards too.

I have never used affirmations in such a big block before, continually writing affirmations, hadn’t realized how powerful a tool this method can be.

When I give Online Intuitive Sessions or other types of readings such as the Akashic Records reading or an Angelic Reading, sometimes affirmations come through that are specific for the client.
