Prosperity Attraction – you create your own reality

"Today is an opportunity for hope."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
One of the primary principles of the book on which these affirmations are based is "today is an opportunity." In fact, every situation is an opportunity. Every minute is an opportunity. Every second is an opportunity. "An opportunity for what?" you might ask. "Anything you desire!" So, you come to the end of the affirmations about hope, which set the foundation for a powerful year. Resonate with hope.

About Your Process
So, what do you desire? What is your most hopeful thought about hope? I suggest that you re-visit your over-arching intention for hope that you developed at the beginning of the month. In addition, if you have made any notes about the various affirmations or about your process, review those. Reflection is part of the process of integrating and embodying the theme of hope.

About Our Next Theme
When you feel ready, please establish an over-arching
intention for February’s theme: Love. Remember, it is up to you do determine your intention, the meaning of the theme, and the application of the ideas into your life. As the month unfolds, I will share some of my insights, but they will not be nearly as important as what you tell yourself about love. During the first week, we work with (Releasing/Cleansing) Affirmations.

"I integrate hope into every aspect of my life."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
I sometimes hear people say emphatically, "Affirmations don’t work!" Well, first of all, that is an affirmation! I think they usually mean that "just saying words over and over again does not change conditions," a statement with which I can agree fully. When you consider making a change, you are most successful when your intention, thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are all in alignment. You use words to express your perceptions to yourself and to others. If, for example, you say "I feel hope" and feelings that oppose this statement (like despair) come waffling in, you have work to do! Saying repeatedly "I feel hope" is unlikely, all alone, to erase the despair. So as you’re integrating hope during these last days of January, let opposing feelings/thoughts/beliefs come up, experience them, and return to the integration of hope. Stuffing the doubts or despair back because you think you "should have gotten it by now" is counterproductive. Hope in a world of duality includes hopelessness.

About Your Process
As you are meditating or reflecting on today’s affirmation, consider what parts of your life, in particular, are ready to receive hope. Consider the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of your life. Your integration may feel like a weaving motion, or it may be a surgical procedure, or it may be a process that requires sewing, or it may feel like swimming in the ocean. As you walk, dance, or swim through today, consider what helps you to integrate hope into every aspect of your life.

"Yes to Hope!"

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Yes! is a simple and clear affirmation. All your life experiences are shaped by those ideas and events to which you give your attention. To whatever you give your attention (even if you use the word "no"), you are saying "yes." This month’s theme, of course, is hope. I personally find it very satisfying to come to the end of each month with these affirmations, as the last days bring a sense of wholeness to the theme. Integration is an important idea for me. It conjures up images of balance and blending and wholeness and harmony and peace. Breathing in and breathing out. Embodiment is another important idea, as it is helpful to embrace hope with the body.

About Your Process
You may find that you want to replace the word "hope" in this affirmation with something else: like, "life" Or, "living life fully" Or, "living all my hopes and dreams." Consider, what is your hope? Say "yes" to that, right now! If you believe that you must wait for something to happen to live your hope, I suggest that you say "yes" to changing that belief, right now! Live hope.

"I act with purposeful awareness of hope."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Acting with hope is one idea; acting with purposeful awareness of hope is another. You act with purposeful awareness when you truly know that you are hopeful, and you stay consciously aware throughout the entire time of acting. It is easy to have a plan to act in association with hope; it is also easy to reflect on an event and determine whether or not you acted with hope. However, to be in the energy of hope, purposefully aware of the hope at the time of acting, is a powerful state of consciousness.

About Your Process
Select one action you must take today. It may be simple or the large action that you have been hoping will manifest because of your focus on hope this month. When you are clear about the action, develop a statement of high intention. That is, create a statement that guides you in the action. Examples of high intention for actions related to people are: "For honest and open communications" and "To be friendly." Examples of high intention for actions related to work are: "To stay focused on my top three priorities" and "To love every aspect of my job." After the statement of intention, act! And, most importantly, act with purposeful awareness of hope and of the specific intention you have set.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Today ends the fourth week of the month; tomorrow and the two days following, DailyAffirm focuses on Integrating and Embodying the theme of hope. Today is a good day to check for a final action you might want to take to demonstrate hope. Of course, each day forward you might want to claim and demonstrate hope. A re-visit of your over-arching intention for hope also allows you to integrate more deeply all that you have learned this month.

Make this a purposeful day!

"I let every act be an act of hope."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Every action is seeded by your consciousness. Language has a rich assortment of words to describe or represent ideas about consciousness: thoughts, beliefs, energy, intention, awareness, vision, mission. Form and actions follow thought. If you choose to believe that every action is an act of hope, then you must dip into the consciousness of hope in order to manifest every action. So, today, this is the claim: Dip into the consciousness of hope for every action.

About Your Process
This affirmation assists you in considering how you act. How, not why. I find that asking why often gets folks into trouble. Certainly some questions that begin with the word "why" are probing in an empowering way, but these are rare. Watch how you let hope be the source of your actions. How, not how well. You can get yourself into trouble by over-evaluating, as well. Observe your process before, during, and/or after you act so that you can understand more deeply how the consciousness of hope propels and enhances your actions.

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:

• “Asking Empowering Questions” assists you to ask — yourself and others — questions that uplift and enhance life.
• "Your Focus of Attention is Your Key to Happiness" helps you to clarify where you desire to put your attention — your energy — which is a creative force.
• “Moving Through Puddles” describes the “Puddle Theory of Personal Development” which helps those seeking enlightenment to move more easily through the cycles and changes of life.

"I draw a circle of hope to establish myself as a radiant being."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
The simple circle. Your responses to duality can generate the appearance that you bounce from one end of a pole to another, creating a line or lines which can be confusing. However, when you show up 100% for all experiences, unafraid of opposites, you create joy. It is empowering to create and experience life as a flow, as a process, as continuous. When you drop into despair or hopelessness to such an extent that you forget that life has many cycles, you have given your power to the effects rather than accepting yourself as the powerful source of your experiences. Today, imagine a container of hope which carries your radiance.

About Your Process
What does your circle of hope look like? A plate of spaghetti? A bent paper clip? A computer generated O? An amoeba? An egg? A sphere? You may find that drawing your circle on paper or representing it in some way enhances your ability to use it whenever you desire. Knowing what it looks like assists you in making it larger or smaller, thicker or thinner, closer or more distant. You are the creator of your circle of hope — how big do you want it to be?

"I manifest all things in association with hope and peace."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
All manifestations are products of consciousness. I consider that the consciousness with which you produce or create things is far more important than the things themselves. If your consciousness resonates with hope and peace as you are manifesting, your manifestations also resonate with hope and peace. You must be what you seek (as Gandhi and many others have said in a variety of ways).

About Your Process
This DailyAffirm Affirmations Process allows you to explore life-changing issues. As you know, I view these affirmations as part of an ongoing process, not a quick-fix formula. I often hear that a particular affirmation resonates deeply for you, and more often that the regular association with the ideas/affirmations is transformational. Keep up the good work — it is the stuff of which hope is made. Consider how you enhance your life by lifting your consciousness.

About the Book of the Month Recommendation

Here is a second mention of the book recommendation for January’s theme of Hope: "The Chronicles of Narnia" This is a collection of magically hope-filled stories written for children and enjoyed by people of all ages. Of course, now, a feature-length movie is available; it is the book series I recommend. Read my book comments.

"I claim my hope.
I claim my power in all parts of my life."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Sometimes you may forget to claim what you desire. You may ask. Or beg. Or assume. Or wish. Or bargain. Or wonder. Or complain. Today, claim hope and power and … well, whatever you desire. These daily affirmations were developed by listening to spoken and unspoken words of my clients. I hear spoken words similarly to most folks; in addition, I hear unspoken words through a skill called "clairaudience." I am able to hear at different levels of consciousness. So, someone might say, "I claim my power in all parts of my life" and I might hear clairaudiently that the person is saying to himself or herself, "Oh, no you don’t." Or "I’m really powerless." The nonverbal voice may be the person’s own or someone else’s, for example, a parent or significant other or first grade school teacher. When I’m working one-to-one, I can identify these disempowering messages in the energy field and help clients to find better thoughts on which to land their attention.

About Your Process
Today, listen for your own disempowering messages. They may be loud and obvious, or quiet and insidious. If you find that you sabotage yourself in certain situations, you likely have a disempowering message operating in your energy field. If you consider that you are not doing what you desire in life, you definitely have a disempowering message operating in your energy field. You can neutralize the negative impact of this message simply by putting your attention on and claiming what you desire. Become engaged with your heart’s desires, and life opens up to you.

"I act with hope in my heart.
I speak with hope on my lips. I walk with hope in my feet."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
The words of this affirmation help to connect hope and movement with various parts of the physical body. As you read or say these words, feel the movement and experience the expressed ideas. Experience what it feels like to act with hope in your heart, to speak with hope on your lips, to walk with hope in your feet. The feelings may be sensations or emotions which generate images or symbols or sounds or thoughts. Make hope experiential.

About Your Process
As you say or think about each of these three statements, consider if thoughts come up for you that oppose the ideas. For example, You say, "I act with hope in my heart" and a pesky little voice says, "Yeah, except for…." Or you say, "I speak with hope on my lips" and you choke on the words. Or you chant, "I walk with hope in my feet" while you notice you are stuck or you feel despair. Instead of stuffing or denying your reaction to the statement, let it come forward so you can interact with it, not as an enemy but as a friend. Experience what happens. Say the statement again and notice the difference. Repeat the process until you can say the statement without an opposing reaction.

"Hope opens a pathway for travel and energizes my actions."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
The light of hope I talked about several days ago can be constantly with you on your travels, touching all that you do. Everything in life is in motion. If you feel as if you are not moving, you can easily bump up against the flow of life. You move — sometimes forward; sometimes backward — and rest; again, you move — sometimes forward; sometimes backward — and rest. Life is a cycle, or, more precisely, a series of cycles. When resting, the flow of energy is different from when you’re moving forward or retreating. Over these last several weeks, DailyAffirm has been focusing on thinking about and feeling hope. Now, it is time to act with hope.

About Your Process
Consider one or more of the following questions: To what (or whom) do you desire to travel? With what (or whom) do you desire to travel? From what (or whom) do you desire to travel in the opposite direction? Also consider what action you can take to open pathways to new possibilities. It is exciting to me how much this Affirmations Process continues to expand, traveling to lots of places. Feel free to tell others, when you are prompted from inside yourself to do so. Perhaps you consider that a particular affirmation would be interesting for someone and you may redirect the affirmation to that person.

Greetings! 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 one of our email alert lists (check the options on the navigation bar).

About Acting/Claiming Affirmations and Hope
Allow all your actions to be blended with the energy of hope, claiming your power and peace. Experience hope as an energy that propels you, especially in those areas where you feel uncertain or stuck or afraid. Step out of the bonds of illusion, knowing that hope supports and protects you. Trust the light of hope. Trust yourself to act in purposeful ways, filled with integrity and high intention. 

About Your Process in the Fourth Week
During this week, you have an opportunity to be supported by these affirmations in the various acts you take. Some of your acts may be small; some may be dramatic or profound. Some may be scary or confusing. It is time to act with hope permeating all parts of your energy field. Be gentle with yourself. Feel the fullness of who you are.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for hope it would be the affirmation for January 28: "I act with purposeful awareness of hope." This statement opens your consciousness so that you are more aware of hope while you are in the process of acting.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Hope
Allow these three days to be an opportunity to reflect and review. Rather than looking for new and fresh ideas, allow yourself to integrate the ideas that seem the most relevant and let go of those ideas that are not relevant. To integrate hope generates a picture of balancing energies; to embody hope generates a picture of becoming a container for hope to manifest.

About Your Process in the Remaining Days
During these three days, reflect and review what has happened for you this month. Pass over anything that does not fit. And take more deeply into your energy field all those ideas you desire to keep. While you are integrating hope, you will find that you have less curiosity about despair or fear or hopelessness.

Make this an energetic week-plus!

"Hope is worthy of my attention,
enhancing all my thoughts and feelings."

… Free TeleSeminar Today, see details below.

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Sometimes it is important to state that hope is worthy of your attention. Tangential to this, though, consider what else is worthy of your attention. Those things to which you give your attention thrive and expand with the energy of your attention. The more aware you are about planting the seeds of your attention, the more you harvest the manifestations that you truly desire. Some people consider it fashionable to worry, yet worry is boring, wastes good energy, pollutes relationships, and draws to you the conditions you worry about. It is not interesting to repeat and repeat again the stories of woes and disappointment, but a drain of the energy of both the speaker and the listener, generating more of the same or similar new experiences. Give up the disempowering use of this incredible energy — your attention — and give it to those ideas you desire to experience in the present and future.

About Your Process
If you are willing to be playful, imagine with me: A wise Spirit named Des Tiny sits on your shoulder, able to witness all your thoughts and visions and dreams. Based on these observations, Des decides what opportunities and experiences you will have. Des Tiny operates with one basic assumption: you give your attention to what you desire. Des does not criticize or evaluate where you put your attention, but offers one response: "yes!" So, if you give your attention to worries or bad news or fears or gossip, be assured, these will expand in your experience. Des Tiny makes sure of this. By the same token, giving your attention to joy and peace and prosperity and gentleness and honesty draws those experiences into your life. If you have past habits of attention to negative aspects, be diligent about focusing on or shifting your attention to positive dynamics in the subjects of your life. Des Tiny is watching. You create your own DesTiny.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
This is the last of the Being/Intending Affirmations this month. Before moving to the next type of affirmations, called Acting/Claiming, you may want to reflect on how you have deepened your understanding of your over-arching intention for hope. In addition, consider anything else that is relevant to you about your relationship to hope. Be certain you have clarity about this theme before you affirm actions and make claims.

"I understand the meaning of hope.
Hope is a light for freedom."

… Free TeleSeminar Tomorrow, see details below.

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Sometimes saying you understand something is a declaration; other times saying you understand helps to "make it so" when you do not fully comprehend; still other times saying you understand opens you to a greater level of understanding than you had before. The second sentence of today’s affirmation is one way to express the meaning of hope. Love and Light are two distinct vibrations: Love is the energy of creation; Light is the energy of information. The DailyAffirm affirmations are designed to be helpful for bringing Love and Light into darkness, heaviness, ignorance, and despair. Doubt and anger and fear cannot exist in Love. Darkness and pain cannot exist in the Light. Love and Light and Hope and Laughter and Peace are all pathways to freedom.

About Your Process
Perhaps you will choose to express the meaning of hope in a way that is different from the expression of today’s affirmation. I encourage you to re-visit your over-arching intention: what is your intention for the January theme of hope? Consider also, what else you wish to understand or explore about hope. Perhaps you have already chosen to explore this theme through one particular aspect of your life. If so, consider the special meaning of hope in that part of your life. What is hope to you?

Make this a freeing day!

"I remember to hope. I remember who I Am."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Remembering is not simply a mental happening, not simply the discovery of a stored memory demonstrated by using words or pictures. Often when you are asked to remember something — especially something you have not thought about recently — you may feel a momentary slowing down as you try to access the requested information. This is the re-membering process: you (re)connect with the person or thing (member) in your awareness. When the process is deep rather than superficial, you experience a phenomenon that is more like knowing than recollecting. You "know" another more easily when you recognize that you are all a part of the same whole. You are remembering to re-member.

About Your Process
To remember is simple. Life is simple, although you may have developed many patterns to complicate it. You live in a world that has many systems of knowledge to explain simple phenomena in convoluted ways. You perhaps see or participate in rewarding managers or others who are skillful at putting out fires, neglecting to recognize that they sometimes have started the fires (this is arson) that they are rewarded for quelling. Society rewards certain scientists for creating complex models to explain natural dynamics that can be explained in a few simple words. How much more simple can it be than to remember who you are? What do you need to remember today in order to live a life more filled with hope and love and joy and illumination?

I put faith in the invisible more than in the visible."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Often people ask, "do you have faith?" I find this a rather silly question, as faith, for me, is inevitable. I consider a more meaningful question is "In what do you put your faith?" Most people look to the visible for proof with little or no attention to the invisible. All the themes we focus on in the DailyAffirm Process are invisible. Certainly you can point to manifestations to illustrate your understanding of a theme, but love and hope and joy and mastery are part of the invisible realm. Today’s affirmation supports you in increasing your faith in and attention to the invisible. Please understand that I am not saying there is anything "wrong" with the visible. Rather, I say that it is essential that you shift your attention from faith primarily in manifestations and circumstances without attention to Spirit to faith in the invisible with manifestations as secondary, because it is from Spirit that all is manifested.

About Your Process
You can assist in manifesting a more loving world by being attentive to creating more love and appreciation in your everyday activities. If you have believed that you are here to make money, it is time to give that belief a rest. Money is an aspect of modern society; it is not the purpose of life. Consider how the visible and the invisible work in your life. Remember, it is from the invisible that the visible is manifest. A simple thought of kindness blended with feelings of caring can manifest in a visible world of love and peace. If you are fixated on making money (or more likely, on lack of money), shift your attention to faith that all your needs are met. Shift from the visible means of support to invisible means of support.
