Hello friends. My wife and I were going to begin a new regiment that begins the day with a set of affirmations surrounding our Co-dependent and ACoA histories. I am wondering if anyone would be willing to suggest some positive affirmations to start our day off that we might find helpful. Thank you for any thoughts.

I just realized that I don't hear much about affirmations these days and some might not know what I mean and so: What I meant by affirmations was what we used to call 'positive affirmations' but I haven't heard too much of it lately. i.e. we stop in at the mirror together upon awakening and will choose certain statements to say and repeat ten times each. For instance, she might say to herself as she faces herself in the mirror: "I am a woman worthy of love, honor, dignity and respect." to which I might say, "I am a man worthy of love, honor, dignity and respect." and repeat ten times. We have a list of three things we say right now, but wanted to add some Co-dependency and ACoA specific affirmations.

The idea is that just as receiving negative messages about ourselves day after day as a child affected us negatively - receiving positive messages about ourselves daily can affect us positively.

I woke up,therefore I am alive! Not only that, I am alive
in the first world, and surrounded by the fantastic realities
and possibilities that being alive in the 21st century entails.
Today a lot of babies will be born, and a hell of a lot of
those squalling brats will make it to the 22nd century!!
What wonders will they witness? How and in what way will
their lives make mine look like the 13th century!?(e.g.
nasty/brutish/short).
What will an iPhone 26 look like?

Legna,

Have you ever watched these youtubes on EFT with Brad Yates? I have to watch at least 2 to really feel differently but honestly, it does work.

These are nice Legna. You know we try to do affirmations with our son. They talk about this in many of the parenting arenas... most of the ones we use probably aren't suitable for you because your over age 2 -- LOL But I like the idea, and you know it is never too late to reaffirm "positivity, value, self worth, love, respect".

Legna ... if your still out there... I was reminded of you and the affirmations tonight. When we getting our son ready for bed, he goes through his routine. He says he loves mommy points to me, he loves daddy points to him, and then he says I love me, and we all point to him !
