When life comes at you, you need a way to anchor yourself. Affirmations is one way to do this. Affirmations give you a place in your mind to go to, a safe place from which you can generate the power to overcome the situation.
When negativity tries to weigh me down, I renew my strength through daily prayer. I let go of all the things I want so badly to control but are beyond my power. I give up my concerns and fill my heart with hope.
I change the way I see myself from a victim to a victor. By modifying my view of myself, I transform my attitude. I trade sorrow for joy and release the burden of my concerns by finding something positive to think about.
I am strengthened by joy. Therefore, I fill my days with things I enjoy doing to give me courage to endure through the challenging times. Time spent performing a hobby or favorite activity is like a healing balm for me.
My friends are a blessing to me during difficult periods. I draw close to people who love me and can hold me up when I feel weary. With great appreciation, I receive the love of those reaching out to me during this challenging time. Having people in my corner strengthens me against solitude and despair.
Instead of wondering why I have to endure this trial, I am thankful for the lesson I am learning from this situation. Rather than sit around feeling sorry for myself, I propel myself into action toward my desired outcome.
Today, I choose to stand up and continue to live life with joy. I accept the love and help offered to me by others. With my positive outlook and the help of my friends, I can overcome anything.
