Prosperity Attraction – you create your own reality

Make a list of things you enjoy doing. This can be any simple activity, which you love doing, and that can be done in your daily life. Put in the list at least ten items, and then do something from this list every day. From time to time, as you discover more things that you like doing, add them to this list.

Some examples could be:

• Taking a walk
• Conversing with a friend that you like
• Preparing a special dish
• Eating a special meal
• Reading a book
• Taking a short nap at noon
• Going to the movies
• Meditation
• Going to a lecture about a subject that you like
• Eating out
• Shopping
• Painting
• Playing with your kids
• Walking on the beach
• Swimming

Every day, take at least one item and do it. Get over laziness and procrastination. Don’t say that you don’t have time, because you do. Work and chores never end. You owe to yourself to do at least one thing you enjoy every day, even if it is only for a few minutes. This will bring joy, happiness, hope and good feeling into your life.

There is no limit to what you can put in the list, as long as you really like doing it, and it is within your possibilities. As to possibilities, quite often, we believe that we don’t have the time, cannot afford to do something, it takes too much time, there are more important things to do, etc, when in reality it is so simple, easy, enjoyable and within our immediate reach and possibility.

"I breathe transformation into every aspect of my life."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Your breath is always with you. You breathe when you talk, when you meditate, when you work, when you cry, when you play. You can empower your breath to draw clarity and peace to you. Breathing in and breathing out, you become more vibrant and balanced. You breathe in life and vitality, you breathe out dead cells and waste. Life contains all forms of transformation, including death. The more you can accept death as a natural part of life — as transformation — the more likely you are to be accepting of all faces and facets of life.

About Your Process
Today, let your breath assist you in integrating transformation and its many faces into your life. What do you want to breathe in; what do you want to breathe out? What do you want to receive; what do you want to release? As you come more fully into the realization of your wholeness, old paradigms die away. What is decaying today? What needs to die today? When you know what must die, consider your relationship to the dying thing and to the process of dying. Will you grieve the death? Rejoice for the thing that is dying? Applaud the life that has transformed? Ignore the whole situation? Or respond in some other way? You have many options. Choose. And choose again.

"Yes to Transformation! Yes, yes, yes."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
"Yes!" is such an affirmative word! Yes to life! Yes to love! Yes to transformation! You say "yes" with words, facial expressions, gestures, energy, and actions. You say "yes" with your clothes, your business cards, your food choices, and your homes. You say "yes" when you answer the telephone, greet people on the street, and meet new friends for the first time. You say "yes" to everything to which you give your attention. You say "yes" even when you use the word "no."

About Your Process
So, to what do you desire to say "yes"? The best way to say "no" to something you do not want is to say "yes" to what you do want. As you repeatedly acknowledge your preference for what you want (rather than what you don’t want), you will find that more and more of what you want comes to you for further refinement of choices. You still get to choose, but the Universe has the capacity to give you enormous variety. As you are learning to make choices, you will be aware of many things you do not want; as your consciousness lifts you become less aware of the unwanted things and choose from among a greater variety of wanted things. Yes!

"I act with purposeful awareness of transformation."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
To welcome purposeful awareness into your life, you connect with the intention of your actions knowingly. This intention is a "place" in consciousness filled with the substance of love and light which is the wellspring of creation. It is this consciousness into which you dip when you create with high intention. You can use this substance of creation accidentally or naturally or purposefully. You get to choose. You get to choose with each act. A conscious, constant high intention feeds your every act, resulting in personal fulfillment and Divine realization.

About Your Process
Today, consider the extent to which you choose to be purposefully aware. Or identify a specific situation or habit or issue about which you choose to be purposefully aware. Watch yourself watching. Know and know that you know. It is time to fully claim transformation as a power in your life. Today, re-visit your over-arching intention for transformation as you bring to a close this week of working with acting/claiming affirmations.

About Related Articles

About the Next Type of Affirmations
This is the last of the acting/claiming affirmations this month. For the next three days, we focus on integrating and embodying transformation. If you have been taking notes throughout the month while exploring transformation, you may want to review your notes during the next three days. Eject anything that does not fit; more fully integrate anything that you wish to keep. Experience transformation. Experience transformation transform.

Make this a purposeful day!

"I let every act be an act of transformation.
I intend to show up one hundred percent."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Whoa! 100%! What a commitment! Think of what it would be like if you and everyone else in the world showed up 100%. The world would be transformed in an instant! To show up 100% requires living right now in the moment — not in the past, not in the future. No regrets about what has or has not been. No expectations or fears of what might or might not be. Living right now! Every act is an act of transformation. When you affirm this is so, you keep in the flow of life.

About Your Process
Consider if there is something from the past that holds your attention or keeps you from totally claiming your power. Perhaps an old pattern of behavior? An unresolved relationship? A disappointment? You cannot show up 100% if you give your attention to those old things. Consider if there is something about the future that keeps you from claiming your power now. Perhaps a goal that you think will bring you happiness when it is accomplished? A fear or doubt or longing? You cannot show up 100% in the present while you are giving your attention to concerns about the future. Quickly identify if you have responses to these questions, and then give your attention to what you want to experience now. All your experiences happen in the now, the ever-changing, ever-present now! Show up in its presence 100%!

"I draw a circle of transformation to establish my world of focus."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
A circle provides a container which helps you to define what you want to invite into your world; it also helps you to define your world. A circle of light composed of the energy of transformation can create a circle which is far more effective than a steel or brick wall. The substance you hold in your energy field is the material you use to create your experiences. If you are filled with anger, the circle will be composed of anger; if you are filled with joy, the circle will be composed of joy. Fear resonates with more fear; love resonates with more love; joy resonates with more joy. Your intention can evoke higher consciousness to create the perfect circle.

About Your Process
Are the circles you have drawn to focus your world attracting those things that you desire in your life? In considering this question, you may see clearly the methods you use that attract or oppose your life’s desires. You may find that you have established circles that keep out what you want rather than letting it in. For example, you want a loving relationship yet have an iron fence around you to keep you from getting intimate. If so, just change the iron fence to a circle of love. If you were in a consciousness other than love when creating a previous circle, this non-love circle can transform into a circle of the desired substance. Then you can attract and live your heart’s desires.

"I manifest all things
in association with divine transformation acting through me."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Today’s affirmation allows you to open still further to transformation of a divine nature. It is the movement of Spirit with which you want to live in harmony. To move just to move can sometimes be valuable; however, to move consciously with Spirit and to allow Spirit to move through you is empowering. When you create while being aware of spirit, you manifest your heart’s desires.

About Your Process
Consider one thing that you wish to manifest or that you are actively in the process of manifesting. After you have clearly identified this thing, step back from it. How do you perceive this thing? Look at it from a whole new perspective. How would Spirit see this thing? What would Spirit say about this creation? Now step into the thing. How do you perceive it? Repeat the process, noticing changes each time.

"I claim my transformed state of consciousness.
I claim my power."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
I find again and again that when folks claim that their state of consciousness has lifted, it lifts still further. Claiming a state of higher consciousness is a powerful act. Such a claim must be a conscious choice to walk with Spirit, with enhanced awareness of Spiritual values such as love and wisdom and freedom (to name only a few Spiritual values), and not as a claim made by an arrogant ego. Arrogance is not attractive nor uplifting. You must individually step into the awareness of your magnificence; you are also part of a collective, stepping into the awareness of the magnificence of the whole. As you lift, others lift; as others lift, you lift.

About Your Process
Today, look at your own style of claiming your power: Do you take it? Poke at it? Accept it grudgingly? Breathe it in effortlessly? Experience it and then brush it off as if it is not real? See it outside yourself? See it inside yourself? Perhaps your style is not mentioned in this list. If not, write your own description. The many situations in which you find yourself may call for different styles, so think about several situations as you work with this exercise. However, do not disempower yourself by believing the situation determines your style; instead, you determine your style allowing variables from inside and outside yourself to give you information. Then . . . claim your transformed state of consciousness. Claim your power.

About Related Articles

• "Trust: New Bottom Line" focuses on replacing trust in the visible with trust in the invisible to assist in moving to a new and more trusting paradigm.

About Guided Meditations
Experience Jeanie Marshall’s voice in empowering guided meditations. Her soothing voice prompts you to listen to your own inner wisdom. She guides with words, yet it is her voice that makes these guided meditations such a powerful relaxation technique. Guided meditation is one empowerment practice that you can use on its own or to enhance other strategies. You’ll feel a sense of empowerment, a greater awareness of well-being, and a deep relaxation.

Make this a magnificent day!

"As I act,
I know that I am transforming in every cell of my existence."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
On the surface, this affirmation may seem rather benign, especially for an "acting/claiming" affirmation. However, the realization that you are constantly changing helps you to not get stuck in patterns or believe that you are unchangeable. When you feel that you are not making progress, this affirmation assists you in realizing that you are not really stuck, even when you appear to be. Everything is always changing, including every cell in every part of your life, in all life. This affirmation awakens your consciousness as you act; it helps you to be more conscious that you are conscious.

About Your Process
Take a look at a part of your life that appears not to be changing — something that feels stagnant or blocked. Perhaps this is something about which you feel hopeless or frustrated or just mildly irritated. As you identify this subject, relax and open without any pressure to do anything right now. Notice. Feel the energy, feel the feelings. Describe as clearly as possible the attributes of this situation. Now, shift your attention to something that you believe is moving freely and effortlessly. This may be a healthy relationship or a rewarding job or a little piece of your life or a memory of a past event. As you identify this second subject, relax and open without any expectation to do anything right now. Notice. Feel the energy, feel the feelings. Describe as clearly as possible the attributes of this second subject. Now, transfer the energy and the feelings of the second subject to the first one. Say today’s affirmation again.

"Transformation energizes my actions, propelling me on my path."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://dailyaffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
Gasoline/petrol energizes automobiles and other vehicles; Spirit moving into form (trans-form-action) energizes your actions. When you take care of your cars, you find and use the products and services and practices that are most appropriate so that you can have dependable transportation. So, too, it is important to seek out the purity of Spirit and other substances to propel your life. The culture supports using toxins to move people (caffeine, drugs, etc.), when all you truly need is Spirit to guide you to proper nutrients and practices. Clients who have used recreational drugs in the past often tell me that the meditations I lead activate a grander "high" than they ever experienced with drugs — and, of course, without the negative aftereffects. It is empowering to be propelled by the purity of Spirit.

About Your Process
If you are not currently practicing meditation on a daily basis, I suggest that you start. Start where you are now. If you currently meditate once a week, increase to three times a week. If you currently meditate three times a week, increase to every day, etc. Meditation allows you to realize your oneness with the divine, to accept the purity of Spirit. Hundreds of techniques work. You only need one that works for you long enough to know that you do not need any technique at all. Select strategies that do not hurt your vehicle — not just the one with four wheels, but your own physical body.

About Meditate Now
I have developed a program that supports meditators to develop and maintain a regular meditation practice. In is called Meditate Now: 21 Days to Meditate Regularly.

Greetings! from DailyAffirm at http://dailyaffirm.com This message serves as an overview for the acting and claiming affirmations of this fourth week and the integrating and embodying of the last three days of the month. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day or simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive the daily messages by email, please subscribe to our email alert list (check the top tabs or the navigation bar).

About Acting/Claiming Affirmations and Transformation
This week’s "acting and claiming" affirmations support you in taking action and claiming your growth opportunities. It is not necessary that you take action in order to transform — indeed, you are transforming all the time! It is very popular in the fields of Organization Development and Personal Growth to say that "they/you/we will change when they/you/we are ready." To which, I say a quick and decisive, "Nonsense, they/you/we are changing all the time and they/you/we are not always ready!" So the emphasis of the week’s affirmations is that transformation is movement. The greater your willingness and readiness for acting and claiming, the more you are able to catch the opportunity. Now is the time to move from just talking about your dreams and desires as unrealized phenomena, to walking with your dreams and desires as an integral part of you.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
Ask your inner self for clarity about the action you desire to take this week in an area in which you are changing or will be changing. Just giving your attention to a specific area of transformation provides light and illumination for that area. Out of your deeply-held high intention, take action. Claim your power. Do it. Right now. And if your action is to retreat or to be still — do that decisively, as well.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent acting and claiming for transformation it would be the affirmation for July 27: "I let every act be an act of transformation. I intend to show up one hundred percent." Affirming your intention to show up 100% is potent. So, maybe you show up only 80% or 60%, even that can be powerful. Remember that many people only show up 2%, maybe 17%. Sometimes you do not show up at all! When you intend to show up 100%, you are in your power in a way that enhances your life and the lives of others.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Transformation
The affirmations in the final days of the month help you to deepen your experience of empowered transformation by integrating and embodying the chosen aspects of the theme. Of course, the idea of integrating transformation is a bit of a paradox, for as soon as you integrate one change, both you and the change change! Take these three days to integrate and embody the month’s exploration of transformation. Look at what you learned, savor what you desire to keep, and let go of what you desire to release. These are all aspects of the process of integration and embodiment.

About your Process in the Remaining Days
These are the days to reflect on what you experienced this month. What do you desire to keep? What do you desire to release? Work with any or all the affirmations for these three days. Review the whole month’s daily affirmations if you feel guided. Say yes to your enthusiasm for life.

Make this a magical week-plus!

"Transformation enhances all my thoughts and feelings."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
On this last day of the third week of July, take a deep, expansive breath to allow the energy of transformation to permeate all your thoughts and feelings. This is an example of a high intention about transformation. Today’s affirmation assists you in keeping your attention on transformation in a positive way, which, of course, provides unique experiences for you while you (with many others) participate in this process.

About Your Process
If you are one who sees energy, see the energy of transformation weave its colors into each thought and feeling that passes through or comes from you today. If you are one who senses energy, sense the energy of transformation as it flows into each thought and feeling that passes through or comes from you today. If you are one who imagines energy, imagine the energy of transformation touching and blending with each thought and feeling that passes through or comes from you today. If you have another way of relating to energy, honor your way with an intention or a thought or a feeling about the energy of transformation.

About Related Articles
We make available free to the Internet community many empowering articles, including the Marshall House Articles Section, the Empowering Personal Development Articles, the Voice of Jeanie Marshall Articles, and Jeanie’s articles at EzineArticles.com. Here are suggested articles that relate to today’s principles:

• "Transgenerational Healing: Clearing the Past for the Present" introduces a powerful process for neutralizing the negative effects of past generations.
• "Guided Meditation for Empowered Consciousness " presents an overview to approaching meditation as a practice for greater empowerment.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
This is the last of the Being/Intending Affirmations this month. Tomorrow the Acting/Claiming Affirmations begin. Consider anything else that is relevant to you about your relationship to transformation, in particular you may want to reflect on how you have deepened your understanding of your over-arching intention for transformation. Draw to you as much clarity as possible about this theme before you affirm actions and make claims, because to affirm change/transformation can be very powerful.

Make this a wonder-full day!

"I understand the meaning of transformation.
Transformation happens in small increments and in quantum leaps."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
If you are similar to most people, you understand first with your intellect or with your emotions/feelings. However, meaning which is understood deeply must connect on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Other words for aspects of life are: kinesthetic, psychological, physiological, energetic, philosophical, financial, etc. All of these, for me, are somehow contained in the designations physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The second sentence of today’s affirmation is a simple description of transformation that helps you to honor its diversity. While you might agree with me on a definition of "transformation," you are likely to have many diverse stories about how it operates in your life, since it operates in every part of life at all times.

About Your Process
What is your deep meaning of "transformation"? Or, identify the deep meaning of "change" if you prefer. You may find that you want to replace the second sentence with another that is closer to the meaning you identify or are in the process of embodying. You may even find that the second sentence is superfluous for you; if so, lop it off. If you breathe in your intention for transformation, you may hear its meaning whispered in your ear or feel its energy brush across your face. Air opens understanding, as thoughts and ideas and words and sound require air in order to be transmitted. As you breathe in air, allow the meaning of transformation to deepen.

In the previous article I have written about the “News Diet”. In this article I am writing about a similar, yet different topic, “The Mental Diet”.

You can eat indiscriminately, anything you find in your refrigerator, and you can exercise some control. In the same way, you may let every thought enter your mind freely, and you can supervise the thoughts that you think.

You may eat junk food, and you may eat healthy food. In the same way, you may think negative thoughts and you may think positive thoughts.

You can reduce the amount of food you eat, lose weight and shape your body, and you can also reject certain thoughts and encourage other, more motivating and positive thoughts.

You can follow a certain diet, and eat certain foods in certain quantities at certain times. Similarly, you can follow a mental diet, rejecting negative thoughts and too much restless and unnecessary thinking, calming your mind, strengthening it and putting it in shape.

You can take care to avoid unhealthy or fattening foods, and you can also take care of what you think, what you put into your mind.

You may fill your mind with thoughts from morning till night, as most people do, or you can choose to give your mind some rest. You can choose to follow a “Mental Diet”.

There is a diet related to eating, and there is a diet related to thinking.

How can you implement a “Mental Diet”?

1. Try to be more aware of your thoughts.
2. When you catch yourself thinking about anything, ask yourself whether these thoughts are useful and can help you in anything.
3. Acknowledge the fact that you can choose your thoughts. Thinking is usually an automatic process, but with more awareness of what is going in your mind, and with some self-discipline you can learn to reduce the time spent on unnecessary thoughts.
4. Try to choose your thoughts and reject thoughts that cause strain, stress and happiness. It is not so simple and easy, so don’t be frustrated if you fail again and gain. Keep trying, and you will gradually develop this skill.
5. Your mental diet should not include thoughts of anger, resentment and envy.
6. Your mental diet should also keep you away from thoughts about the past, and fears about the future.
7. One of the main tools of the “Mental Diet” is concentration. By improving your concentration you gain the inner strength necessary to focus your mind on the thoughts of your choice. Well-developed concentration enables you to ignore thoughts that you do not want.

Mental diet can lead to reducing the mental noise, and gaining inner peace, mental focus, and mental mastery.

"I remember to transform. I remember who I Am.
I Am Transformation."

Greetings! Our theme is Transformation at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for transformation. Following today’s affirmation are comments about the affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles. See top tabs and navigation bar links for more information and resources.

About Today’s Affirmation
DailyAffirm continues with yesterday’s thread of waking up and remembering. The three sentences of today’s affirmation are different, yet provide a panorama of remembering and transformation. The words capitalized are not mistakes, but are carefully chosen to enrich the meanings of the sentences. The "I Am" Presence is consciously evoked when you recognize the deep meaning of these words, which often is buried in the casual contraction, "I’m" or the simplified "I" or the quickly said "I am." However, all these variations on "I AM" evoke the power of creation, which intensifies and puts into manifestation the idea that follows. Example: "I don’t have any money" is an act of creation; however, it creates having no money and/or sends mixed messages to the Universe.

About Your Process
Questions about I Am: What do you say after you say "I am…."? Is this what you most want to manifest? When you know the answer to this second question, say or write a sentence starting with "I…" or "I am…" that reflects your desired manifestation.

Questions about remembering: What do you most want to remember? Your grandmother’s smile? Facts for a test? A significant other’s birthday? That you are a Child of God? The Truth of your presence on the planet? The touch of the Presence? The divine whisper in your ear? Words to a song? Each of these requires a different kind of remembering.

Questions about transformation: What is your intention about transformation? What do you most want to transform? What do you want to remember about transformation? Who are you with respect to transformation?
