Any idea how hard it was just to write those out - without qualifiers? Wow. Affirmations are tough... but I feel better, even now.
We did one when cooling down from aerobics years ago -
Sit on the floor
Close your eyes
Wrap your left arm across your chest
Wrap your right arm across your chest over the top of the other arm
Imagine a picture of yourself as small child - a memory, a photograph... get her clear in your mind.
Now squeeze your arms tighter and give that little girl a hug.
In your mind, tell her that you love her.
Tell her that she is precious.
That she is wonderful.
That she is worthy of love.
(((hugs)))
