Greetings in the 1st week of May with the theme of Trust at DailyAffirm, which you may want to immediately re-designate "Self-trust." In this message, I will give you an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day, or simply check in when the spirit moves you.

About Your Over-arching Intention
If you have not already done so, please identify your over-arching intention for Trust. That is, develop a statement that guides you in the exploration and embodiment of trust. Intention is the energy or consciousness from which actions emerge. If you are uncertain how to write this intention, just make an attempt. Keep it simple. You have 31 days to work with the intention and the theme, so let your statement change and deepen. Here are a few suggestions for statements of intention about the theme of Trust: *To experience the world as a trusting place. *To resonate with the consciousness of trust. *I am trust, trusting, and trustworthy. *To trust myself. *To be a place for trust to thrive.
About Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations and Trust
It is possible (although by no means certain) that as you are releasing and cleansing this week, energies / emotions / thoughts of the opposite of trust might appear: for example, distrust, mistrust, broken trust. To this dynamic I say: trust the process! The process is working. To live in a state of trust you must also know how to recognize distrust, mistrust, broken trust, or other resistance.
Consider this. You meet someone for the first time. You immediately feel distrusting. Where does this distrust come from? The several possibilities are: from you, from that person, from the environment / situation / others, from all or any combination of these. You are not responsible for the trust / distrust / mistrust that someone else carries in his or her energy field, nor do you need to fully understand it in the specific situation. You are, however, responsible for your own trust / distrust / mistrust because you will connect with others who are similar in their relationship to trust. Put your attention on self-trust and everything else will find its rightful place.
About Your Process in the First Week
As you proceed through these first seven days of May, I suggest that you pay particular attention to how you and others use the word "trust." Just notice and learn about the consciousness of trust by the way the word is used to represent this consciousness. It is the consciousness that is more meaningful than the word chosen to represent the consciousness.
I recommend that you write one or more of this week’s affirmations. I have developed a process which is described in the book, "Affirmations: A Pathway to
Transformation" and in an article entitled, "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment."
About the Affirmations in the First Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent releasing and cleansing for Trust it would be the affirmation for May 1: I give myself permission to release fear and anger from every level of the energy field, with effortless grace. You may prefer to use words other than "fear" and "anger." Choose words that are most relevant to your own needs.
Make this a wondrous week!
