June 21, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 21st, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"Joy enhances all my thoughts and feelings."

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
The essence of this week’s process is embodied in this last of the Being/Intending affirmations. Joy that permeates your thoughts and feelings comes from within you. While you are learning to be joyful, you might remember joy as an afterthought or an add-on. However, true joy is an energy in which you live and move and have your being. When your thoughts and feelings are bathed in joy, they are transformed. And so are you.

About Your Process
I encourage you to re-visit your over-arching intention today, since it is likely to have deepened as a result of working with Being/Intending affirmations all week. Change it or embody it more deeply or define it more clearly or just leave it alone. If you do this with the expectancy of joy, you will find the process enlightening. You will want to be certain that you are clear about your intention and your relationship with joy before you work with the power affirmations that begin tomorrow.

action-oriented power affirmations.

Make this a thoughtful day!

June 20, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 20th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"I understand the meaning of joy.
I know that joy is a deep freedom.
"

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
I have been reflecting on the meaning of "deep freedom" and how that might compare with just "freedom." Freedom is often thought of as "freedom from," for example, freedom from an unhappy relationship or dissatisfying job or slavery or oppression. The joy of such "freedom from" is often short-lived, likely followed by recreating bondage in either similar or different forms. By "deep freedom" I am attempting to convey the depth of freedom that is possible when you live in joy, a joy that comes from deep within you regardless of the outer circumstances or life dramas or relationships with others. (Incidentally, DailyAffirm explores the theme of freedom in October.)

About Your Process
What is the true meaning of joy for you? And if you define joy as a freedom, is it "freedom from" or "freedom to"? Through what experiences have you gained your understanding of the meaning of joy? I suggest you take a few minutes to write — preferably stream of consciousness writing — about the meaning of joy. Let the energy of joy bubble up to teach you its deep meaning. Nothing I nor anyone else can say can teach you as much as you can learn from clear listening deep within you.

June 19, Positive Affirmation for Joy

"I remember joy. I remember who I Am.
I am alive with the expectancy of joy."

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Each sentence in this affirmation presents a different nuance about remembering joy and being joyful. I like the rhythm of all three. I also like the rhythm and meaning of each one, worthy of exploration for many days, gosh, many years! This remembrance that you affirm today is more than remembering historical events, it activates memory at the core of your soul. I Am that I Am.

About Your Process
Consider what it means to remember joy. Re-member means to reconnect, to be associated with a body. When you consider what it means to re-member joy as a consciousness, you reconnect with a body of consciousness. As you say today’s affirmation, feel the buoyant resonance of the word "expectancy." Compare this resonance with the vibration (feelings, senses, sounds) of the word "expectation," which is often heavy pavement on the road to disappointment. Let expectancy lift you up to the possibilities; let expectancy help you to feel the aliveness of joy.

June 18, Positive Affirmation for Joy

"My mission is to bring joy to my world.
I give my attention to joy so that it expands.
"

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. This third week of the month we work with being and intending for joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
What a beautiful mission! What you give your attention to expands. If you give your attention to lack, lack expands. If you give your attention to joy, joy expands. If you give your attention to fighting disease, you expand fighting disease as well as both fighting and disease. If you give your attention to abundance, abundance expands. This is a Universal Law, which more and more people are referring to as the "Law of Attraction." The Universe interprets your giving your attention to something as your interest in experiencing more subjects similar to that one. After all, you surely would not give your attention (which is your energy) to anything that you do not want to experience, would you? Think about it.

About Your Process
So, what has your attention today? Is it joy? agony? satisfaction? pain? What? After determining what has your attention, consider…… Is that where you desire your attention to be? Is it worthy of your attention? If your answer is no, change the focus of your attention. If you accomplish nothing else today but to shift your attention from what you do not want (e.g., pain, discomfort, regret, loss) to what you do want, this promises to be a powerful day. Your life will be even more powerful if you practice shifting your attention many times each day.
