June 30, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 30th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 5-Integrating/Embodying Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"Today is an opportunity for joy."

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Truly, every day is an opportunity for joy. DailyAffirm names this last day of June as a special opportunity for joy. When you declare an opportunity, you open a space for joy to show up. Here is a quotation to end this theme: "Where there is joy there is creation. Where there is no joy there is no creation: know the nature of joy." — Upanishads [c. B.C. 800]

About Your Process
I encourage you to take some time today to review your month’s exploration of joy, which has, of course, included some non-joy. Make notes (mentally or in your computer or on paper) about your progress. Identify what you need to do to bring closure to the theme of joy for you. Remind yourself what it feels like to live in the consciousness of joy.

About the Next Type of Affirmations and New Theme
Tomorrow is a new day. A new month. A new theme. The theme is "Transformation." This is a big word for big change. What does it mean to you? Identify your over-arching intention. That is, what intention do you wish to hold with respect to transformation? Here are a few examples intended to inspire, not limit you: "To be in the flow of life." "To drop the old for the new gracefully." "To change/transform from the inside out." "To transform my human consciousness to my higher self consciousness."

Make this a joyful day!

June 29, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 29th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 5-Integrating/Embodying Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"I integrate joy into my life with every breath I breathe."

… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Your breath is always with you. And you take many breaths each day. One in, paired with one out. Followed by another breath in and out. Some breaths may be shallow; others, deep. Some breaths may be relaxed; others, strained. When you embrace the idea of this wonderful affirmation, you use your breath to integrate and embody joy. In my guided meditations I often say, "breathe in light and breathe out anything unlike the light." And I say many other variations, for example, "breathe in joy, breathe out non-joy." Breathe in what you desire to feel, breathe out what you do not need or desire. Every breath gives you an opportunity to embody joy.

About Your Process
Do you have two minutes? Just two. Good. Take a long, deep breath that clears you with the out-breath and opens you with the in-breath. Very good. Now relax. Slow down. Identify one situation or project or relationship — something that you have been focusing on this month. Close your eyes for a few seconds if that helps you to identify a relevant subject. Continue to breathe deeply. Breathe light into this subject; breathe out heaviness. Breathe in joy; breathe out non-joy. Continue to relax and integrate joy and embody light. When your two minutes have passed, congratulate yourself for receiving this gift of joyful relaxation.

June 28, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 28th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

I act with purposeful awareness of joy.

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

About Today’s Affirmation
All this month, you have been building up to be able to say and believe today’s affirmation. To be purposefully aware of joy, you must sometimes put aside hardship and give your attention to joy. Of course, there are times when you must give your attention to managing hardship. When you are in a mature state of consciousness, you know when to do what. It is important that you not use either hardship or managing hardship as an excuse to push aside joy. Today, act with joy while you are aware of both your actions and your joy.

About Your Process
To what are you giving your attention today? What are the actions? What is the consciousness from which you act? Decide. If you make an intentional and purposeful decision, you are more likely to be aware of that which you truly desire to be aware. What more do you need or want to accomplish with respect to joy? Tomorrow and the next day, the affirmations help you to embody and integrate joy. Enjoy in joy.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow the Integrating/Embodying affirmations begin. Today is a good day to check for a final action you might want to take to demonstrate joy. Of course, each day forward you might want to claim and demonstrate joy. A re-visit of your over-arching intention for this month also allows you to integrate more fully all that you are experiencing.

Make this a purposeful day!

June 27, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 27th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"I let every act be an act of joy.
I show up to tell my joyous truth."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
You can label any event or action whatever you desire to label it. You can call an act "difficult" or "wonderful" or "long" or "simple" or by any number of other adjectives. A name or label is a powerful means for orienting you to a thing or a person. So, with this in mind, today name every act an act of joy. The second sentence of this affirmation is also powerful. When you show up to tell the truth, you are in your power. Sometimes the truth seems joyous, sometimes not. But from the highest perspective, the Truth is always joyous.

About Your Process
Take a moment before you finish reading today’s message to consider the various acts you will perform today. Can you call them joyous? If you say an enthusiastic "yes" — bravo. If you say a hesitant "maybe" — what would stretch you into the enthusiastic yes? If you say a resounding "no" to the original question, what work do you need to do on yourself to move your answer to the hesitant maybe or an enthusiastic yes? Remember all needs for change in your life are indications of needs for change in your consciousness. Just show up and tell your joyous truth.

  • "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.

Make this a truthful day!

June 26, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 26th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"I draw a circle of joy to establish who I am."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
A circle has no beginning and no end. When you give your attention to the energy of joy, you create a space that helps you to focus more clearly on what you want. Your circle establishes how near or far you are willing for something or someone to come to you. Clear boundaries are essential for your self-awareness and development. However, if they are too rigid, they can keep out what you want, so fill your circle with joy so that you resonate with joy.

About Your Process
Today, look at your circle of joy. Is it round or irregular? Is it solid or wobbly? Is it permeable or impermeable? Is it flexible or rigid? Is it simple or complex? The more you can describe your circle of joy, the more you can access it if you find yourself during a distressful situation. When you are in a joyous and enlightened consciousness, notice the qualities or components of this consciousness. Noticing these characteristics can help you to more easily find your way back, like sprinkling bread crumbs (although, personally, I’d rather leave less edible markers because my bird friends are likely to think I have left the bread for them).

  • "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.

Make this a meaningful day!

June 25, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 25th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"I manifest all things in association with joy."

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

About Today’s Affirmation
To "manifest" means to show or reveal or demonstrate plainly. It also means to be evidence of or to prove. You manifest physical reality from non-physical reality (Spirit). Joy is a powerful energy available to you to propel your desires into manifestation. Often there is a fear associated with a desire, especially an unrealized desire. Fear is also a powerful energy which propels manifestation, but manifestation of those things you most fear, unless you move through the fear to discover its positive opposite.

About Your Process
What do you most desire? What do you most fear? Let these be companion questions today — and try not to fear either the question or the answers that may surface. As you identify a desire, ask yourself if a fear operates amidst the desire. If there is no fear, so be it and bravo — you will soon manifest what you desire. If there is a fear, become acquainted enough with the fear to communicate with it. Ask the fear what it needs to tell you, as succinctly and quickly as possible. Let the fear be your friend, with whom you can communicate openly and honestly.

June 24, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 24th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"I claim my joy.
I claim my power in all I do.
"

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

About Today’s Affirmation
I use the word "claim" to suggest action, not to suggest grabbing. When you are grabbing or taking, you are not in your true power. You may look powerful to yourself or to others when you grab. You may even feel powerful, at least temporarily, when you grab. This kind of "power" is short-lived, however. It is force. When you claim joy from inside yourself, you are empowered. When you are truly empowered, you do not grab or hit or blame or ridicule or complain. These are the actions of powerlessness. The power that is True Power equals joy.

About Your Process
Here are two situations to recall: (1) Remember a time when you felt powerful because you took or grabbed something from someone else. This may be a physical thing, air time in a conversation, a job, or an idea. Now, remember just before the grabbing (be honest), how did you feel? You felt disempowered, didn’t you? Or perhaps not quite disempowered, but certainly not truly empowered. (2) Remember a time when you felt powerful from the inside. Nothing that anyone said or did could change that feeling. Perhaps eventually you lost this, but right now, remember that time of true unshakable empowerment. Of these examples, which do you prefer to claim, (1) or (2)? Either choice is perfectly valid at different times, but just consider which do you prefer to live?

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

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

About Today’s Affirmation
You may notice that sometimes you talk about the idea of joy or some other concept like honesty or integrity or freedom, yet find that truly living the idea is a challenge. To speak platitudes about joy is not enough. To repeatedly say you believe in joy is not enough. You must be the joy you talk about. You do not need to wait for anything. Claim joy now! You are here to live in joy. To claim joy, place your heart and lips and feet all in alignment with joy.

About Your Process
This is a "walk your talk" affirmation. If you have difficulty experiencing joy, consider some of the following questions. What do joyous people say? What do joyous people look like? How do joyous people walk? How do joyous people touch others? What do joyous people think about? What do joyous people laugh about? To what do joyous people say "yes"? Are you one of the joyous ones? If you are, hurray! If you are not, no need to wait — start today. Walk this talk.

June 22, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 22nd, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"Joy energizes my actions.
I re-negotiate my contract with the Universe
to advance along my path joyously.
"

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

About Today’s Affirmation
"Energize" is such a zingy word. It makes my shoulders lift up and my feet tingle to its vibration. Joy is energy. You are advancing along your path even though sometimes you may feel that you are stuck or blocked. It is an incredibly empowering concept to recognize that you create your own experiences. This is scary for some people, especially those who find themselves in circumstances they do not like! Please note that it is not an accusation, but rather an encouragement that if you do not like where/how/what you are, you can change it. I think that is one of the most empowering concepts you can embrace.

About Your Process
You probably already know the suggestion I am going to make: (re)view or (re)negotiate your contract with the Universe. Contracts are usually most effective in writing, but can be verbal or in one’s head and heart. Gather your helpers in Spirit: Spirit guides, angels, other beings of light. Honor your own belief systems as you clearly state your desires to your spiritual committee. For example, if you are uncomfortable in a relationship, clarify what assists you in living more joyously. If you feel overwhelmed in your job, describe the changes that would help you feel more aligned with your inner joy. You get the idea. Warning: Do not get trapped into believing that something outside yourself will bring you joy. The purpose of your contract is make adjustments (or affirm you like your circumstances) so that you feel a greater alignment with the joy from inside yourself.

Positive Affirmations for the Week of June 22-30, Joy

June 22nd, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, 5-Integrating/Embodying Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy, Week 4-Plus, Weekly Messages No Comments »

Greetings in the last week-plus of June with the theme of Joy at DailyAffirm. This message serves as an overview for the acting and claiming affirmations of this fourth week and the integrating and embodying affirmations 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 an email alert each time a message is published, please subscribe to the Feedblitz announcement (see the lower part of the navigation bar).

About Acting/Claiming Affirmations and Joy
This week’s affirmations help you to step out in joy and with joy. You have been clearing yourself and readying yourself for these outward expressions and manifestations. If you are not quite ready to ACT from the consciousness of joy, then the better choice is to retreat or stand still. Acting from non-joy is detrimental. Focusing on these affirmations keeps your attention on joy and can make you more ready to claim joy later if you are not quite ready now.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
Here is a suggestion for working with this week’s affirmations. Each time you act, ask yourself, "Am I in the consciousness of joy?" Of course, you "act" hundreds of times a day. It may seem unreasonable to you to consider asking yourself "Am I in the consciousness of joy?" hundreds of times a day. Yet, think about it…. you are asking yourself something, so you might as well enhance your awareness with questions such as, "Am I in the consciousness of joy?" Or, "How can I act in the consciousness of joy?" Some of the questions you ordinarily ask yourself may be disempowering, for example, "What have I done wrong this time?" Or neutral, for example, "I wonder who that is (on the phone or at the door)?" Or empowering, "Is this worthy of my attention?" Let the questions you ask yourself this week be about manifesting with joy.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
Usually I find it easy to select the definitive affirmation for the week — or I make up a new one! This week challenges me because I love how most seem to embody so many of the aspects of the ideas of acting and claiming joy. So I select the one which represents an idea that I have experienced many folks are working on right now: "I draw a circle of joy to establish who I am." — the affirmation for June 26.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Joy
I love the idea of integrating learnings and experiences. I jokingly say that I developed this fifth category of affirmations because I had to do something with those remaining days of the month, but the truth is that this concept of integration is essential and not an afterthought. It is often missed. It is important to honor the in-breath as much as the out-breath. One aspect of the process of integration is to let go of anything you do not need during or after an experience while you keep, use, and experience what you desire.

About your Process in the Remaining Days
As you say "yes to joy" and open to let every situation be an opportunity for joy to express, give yourself permission to release any ideas that do not resonate for you. Be as specific as you can. At the same time you sort through the thoughts and feelings to release, allow your consciousness to embody all those thoughts and feelings you wish to keep. If you have been journaling about the affirmations or if you have completed other exercises, review those. Clean up your email files, etc.

Make this a powerful week-plus!

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.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow the Acting/Claiming affirmations begin, so you will

and about your relationship with joy before you work with these
action-oriented power affirmations.

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 19th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"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

June 18th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"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.

June 17, Positive Affirmation for Joy

June 17th, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 3-Being/Intending Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Joy No Comments »

"High intention operates in the midst of joy.
Joy operates in the midst of high intention.
"

… 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
This affirmation is effective when using either or both sentences. Joy is an energy that makes the environment more fertile for high intention. High intention is a consciousness which fosters joy. This DailyAffirm process works regularly with the principle of intention because it is a powerful concept, frequently overlooked as the source for all actions. Perhaps you are often unaware of your intention, especially when performing ordinary or regular tasks. By asking "What is my/your/our/the intention?" you bring to the surface the intention you desire to live from and with. You convert ordinary activities to extraordinary activities by raising your intention as high as you can.

About Your Process
Select a project or task that has your attention today. It matters not if it is big or little, just one that has your attention. Got it? (Pause and reflect, if needed.) Now, state an intention with respect to that project or task. Maybe it is simply "to get it done." Now ask yourself, is this a high Intention? A high intention might be to use the task, "to open communication between my boss and me." If your original intention does not seem high enough for you, change it. Now ask yourself, is this high intention joyful? A joyful high intention might be, "to appreciate every moment with my boss as we deepen our relationship." Adjust your intention however you need so that you have a joyful high intention for this task. As tasks present themselves to you throughout this day, you will find it easier to move directly to realizing a joyful high intention.
