About Today’s Affirmation

Ode to Today

Today, today.
Today is everyday.
Today is all I know.
Today is when I grow.
Today I created from yesterdays’ todays.
Today I create tomorrows’ today.
Today is an opportunity.
Today I trust.
Today is.
I Am.

About Your Process
So, whad’ja gonna do today? Are you going to let today be an opportunity for trust? Are you going to make today be an opportunity for trust? Either approach works, if it is appropriate for you. If you are in a Receiving/Accepting mode, let the opportunities for trust come to you. If you are in an Acting/Claiming mode, create the opportunities for trust to occur.

About Our Next Theme (When Tomorrow is Today)
It is a new month: June. The theme is Joy. When I originally meditated on this theme in preparation for the daily writing, I heard the song "Joy to the World" ringing in my ears. This is not the version sung in Christian churches at Christmas time, but the delightful 3-Dog Night version, the one about "joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, joy to you and me. Jooooy to the World." During the first week, we work with Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations.

Make this an opportune day!

May 30, Positive Affirmation for Trust

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Every means every. Every aspect of your life includes the places and things and people you think about as well as the obvious aspects, such as career, relationship, health, family, home. As you give your thoughts — your attention — to other people, places, things, and ideas, you include them in your life. So it is important that your thoughts be worthy of your attention.

About Your Process
Is there any little — or big — part of your life in which trust needs to be integrated? You may find that simply inviting trust to exist in this place is all that is needed. Perhaps you feel it is more complicated or that something else has to happen first. Can you trust yourself to let go of all the conditions and qualifiers and excuses and complaints and habits to just trust? I believe in you. I believe you can just trust, starting right now. Today. This minute. Instantly. At once. Immediately. Instantaneously. Unhesitantly. Tout de suite. Now.

"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.
"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 whole day!

"Yes to Trust!"

About Today’s Affirmation
Yes, this is a time of integrating trust. Yes, this is a time of embodying trust. In an article that is online at my Web site ("Strategies for the Highest Good"), I include the following as one of the strategies: "Know that the Universe has only one response: it is yes. When you say, "I hate that," the Universe says "yes" by providing experiences of hatred because hatred has your attention. When you say "I love that," the Universe responds with experiences of love because love has your attention. The beliefs and thoughts you hold have an energy that travels; that same energy travels back to you, magnified."

About Your Process
To what do you desire to say "yes"? Is it trust? Is it deep trust? Is it trust in a particular thing or idea? Is it trust in yourself? Is it trust in the Universe? As you focus firmly on your vision of trust, be certain that you use this powerful concept expressed in this affirmation to produce the experiences you truly desire. Yes is a powerful fuel that activates conditions and experiences.

"Strategies for the Highest Good" presents simple techniques for living in the consciousness of the highest good.
"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.

May 28, Positive Affirmation for Trust

May 28th, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Trust, positive affirmation, trust No Comments »

"I act with purposeful awareness of trust.
I show up and speak my truth."

… Greetings! Our theme is Trust at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust. 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
For most people, "truth" is likely to be on their list of top ten values. Yet, so often, people do not speak their truth. So often, they do not even show up! You can hold the idea of the importance of truth, yet sometimes find it difficult to act from that idea. You might have past associations of "telling the truth" as tattling or informing authorities about your siblings or peers. Or "telling the truth" may be associated with a punishment that followed the act of telling or not telling the truth. Trust and truth are closely related — you can be purposefully aware of both as you act.

About Your Process
Identify something that you have difficulty telling your truth about. This might be a very private exercise — no one has to know about it but you. Tell your truth to yourself and trust yourself to know when it is the appropriate time to show up and speak your truth to others involved. Be courageous and wise. Above all else, trust yourself.

"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.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
This is the last of the Acting/Claiming Affirmations this month. During the next three days, we focus on integrating and embodying trust and the affirmations that we have worked with throughout the month. This is a good day to re-visit your over-arching intention that I suggested you establish at the beginning of the month or, if you joined during the month, when you joined.

Make this a truthful day!

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

About Today’s Affirmation
The name you give something can greatly impact how you relate to that thing. Call it "fearsome" and you tend to be afraid. Call it "beautiful" and you tend to see beauty. Call it "trusting" and you tend to trust. Of course, the thing is more than the name you give it — you do not want to confuse yourself by thinking the thing and its name are synonymous. Today, allow all your actions to be named "trust" while at the same time, dip into the consciousness of trust. If every step is a step of trust, then your steps move you from trust to trust and away from non-trust and distrust.

About Your Process
If you have a specific action that today or tomorrow calls you to trust deeply, take a moment to be with that act in consciousness. That is, be with the idea of the action — both before and while acting. Touch the essence of the action, taste the feelings of the action. Let the act itself be an opportunity for trust to flow through you: be with the idea of trust, touch the essence of trust, and taste the feelings of trust. Act and trust. Trust and act.

"I draw a circle of trust to establish my world."

About Today’s Affirmation
Each time you intentionally draw a circle of trust or love or peace, you expand its light. This circle is more than a line drawn in the sand, although such a line can represent this circle for you. The circle of trust is, perhaps, more appropriately called a "sphere of trust" for it is multi-dimensional. Once established, its energy grows and grows. And, of course, if you construct your circle of non-trust, that grows and grows. So, be clear about your intention before you establish your circle.

About Your Process
Have you ever experienced broken trust? That is, you believed that you had a relationship with someone or with a group and then. . . well, something happened. It does not really matter the facts here, so try not to get hooked on who did what to whom, when, where and why. Just invite the situation or person(s) into your circle of trust. Or, if you prefer, draw a circle of trust around the person or persons and, of course, draw your own circle around yourself and/or your family and/or your business. Envision all circles of trust expanding.

"I manifest all things in association with trust. Trust and I are One."

About Today’s Affirmation
The idea of manifesting all your creations with trust is a powerful one. This affirmation helps you to minimize past manifestations that were created with non-trust; it can also create future experiences that are more trusting. All this month, the DailyAffirm affirmations have been acknowledging and honoring various relationships and associations with trust (and non-trust). The process has encouraged you to talk with trust, set intentions about trust, release non-trust, take trust with you, feel trust, sense trust, and experience trust as a friend. Today’s affirmation moves you from the idea of being separate from trust to being one with trust. Trust and I are One. Or, if you prefer, Trust and I is One.

About Your Process
At this time, you may feel as if you are walking through a wall in one or more parts of your life. (And if not, just appreciate that you are not walking through a wall and/or support others as they walk through a wall.) The wall may be made of stone or wood or brick or soot or anger or despair or rage or something else. This is the time to walk through the wall, knowing that you are not alone. You are One with Trust.

"I claim my trust. I claim my power."

About Today’s Affirmation
Claiming trust and claiming power are not exactly the same; however, they tend to run parallel to each other. Persons hesitant to trust themselves are also often hesitant to live in their power. The "power" I speak of is the true and lasting power that comes from within, not the artificial and temporary power in politics or organizations. The power I speak about is not "power over" another person or thing, but empowerment that supports you in being your authentic self. This is not the power that comes from fear; this is the power that comes from love and trust.

About Your Process
Identify one area in which you desire to be more powerful. You may choose to select a big area, such as your "whole life" or a more focused area, such as your job or a particular task you have responsibility to perform. The more precise and clear the vision, whether comprehensive or narrow, the more likely you are to see your desired results — maybe even instantly! Let your vision of trust guide you to be in your power, trusting yourself.

"Empowerment at Work" defines "empowerment" (as I use the word) and describes empowered persons and empowered organizations.
"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.

May 23, Positive Affirmation for Trust

May 23rd, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Trust, positive affirmation, trust No Comments »

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

About Today’s Affirmation
Trusting in your head is only a starting place. All manifestations on the earth plane start with an idea, a thought. This idea, however, must move out of your head in order to be manifested. Many people have beautiful ideas in their heads — pictures and dreams of peace and harmony, with no clue how to manifest the ideas into physical reality. Creation happens through movement of thoughts. Living in your head or in isolation does not test your trust; movement tests your trust. Thoughts propel your movement: feelings tell you the extent to which your intention and your movement are in alignment.

About Your Process
Identify an act you might take today that is a demonstration of your trust. It need not be a profound act (although profound is fine!). Perhaps your act of trust is speaking up in a situation in which you have considered yourself to be powerless. Perhaps your act of trust is making a decision that has been hovering over you for a long time. Perhaps your act of trust is exploring a deep issue you have been hesitant to look at. Perhaps your act of trust is taking a step in a different direction. In order to experience trust, you must put it out to the universe. You must give it away.

"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.
"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.

"Trust energizes my actions and propels me on
the path to transformation."

About Today’s Affirmation
Wow! You have propelled yourself along your path by trust, the best kind of gas/petrol! (And the price does not go up at the pump.) Get energized with Spirit, with trust, with truth. Life is a process. A popular phrase is "trust the process" — in fact, that has been a popular phrase in all the years that I have been actively involved in personal and organizational development. When you feel non-trusting, that is the time you must remind yourself to trust the process. As you trust, you are propelled further. And you often inspire others to trust more, which inspires you even further. And so continues the process.

About Your Process
Today is a great day to ponder what it means to be on a path to transformation. As you know, these affirmations are based on a book which uses the title, Affirmations: A Pathway to Transformation. I carefully call the affirmations "A" pathway to transformation, not "The" pathway to transformation. Many paths and pathways can lead you to transformation, to transformations of many types.

Make this an exhilarating day!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of May 22-31, Trust

May 22nd, 2009 Jeanie Posted in Affirmations, Personal Development, Theme: Trust, positive affirmation, trust No Comments »

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 at DailyAffirm. 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 at the bottom of the navigation bar).

About Acting/Claiming Affirmations and Trust
First of all, remember that "stop" and "silence" are also aspects of acting and claiming. I say this so that you do not interpret the affirmations this week as needing to be aggressive or noisy. Trust, itself, has a rather quiet energy — smooth, and calming. When you envision yourself or others acting with trust, you usually see confidence, assurance, peace. Trust is, first and foremost, an act of self-trust. When you trust yourself, you know when others are trustworthy.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
Since your "process" is about "how" you do things, you might want to focus on how you act when you trust. Observe yourself, for example, when you trust yourself or a situation or another person. . . How does this feel? How do you think about the objects of trust? How do you speak? How do you give your attention to something or someone? How do you show that you trust? Observe yourself, also, when you do not trust yourself or a situation or another person. . . How does this feel? How do your feelings connect with your thoughts? How do you speak? How do your actions, words, and thoughts align with your attention?

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for trust it would be "I let every act be an act of trust," the affirmation for May 27. When you know the truth of this affirmation, you learn about trust through everything you do.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Trust
Bless these remaining days of the month, days that allow you to integrate and embody the theme of trust. It is not so important that you learn something new, but that you know what you have learned in the deepest possible way. Breathe trust into your lungs and cells and muscles. Relax; reflect.

About your Process in the Remaining Days
If you have been writing about your experiences this month, you might want to review your notes. Anything that does not fit can be released. Relax and allow the integration to happen effortlessly. Rejoice in the consciousness of trust.

Make this a splendid week-plus!

May 21, Positive Affirmation for Trust

"Trust enhances all my thoughts and feelings."

… Greetings! Our theme is Trust at DailyAffirm, http://www.DailyAffirm.com. This third week of the month we work with our being and intention for trust. 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 appreciate the simplicity of today’s affirmation. The idea that every single thought and feeling is enhanced by trust is uplifting. For this affirmation to be effective, you do not need to be concerned about your definition of trust, nor do you need to identify the specific thoughts or feelings that are enhanced. Definitions and specifics are bonuses. The essence of this affirmation is to let the energy of trust work for you through your intention. Show up and trust. All else flows from that consciousness.

About Your Process
This last day of the third week is the perfect day to re-visit the over-arching intention you set at the beginning of the exploration of Trust. After clearing out in the first week, opening up in the second week, and relating to trust in specific situations in this third week, you perhaps have a deeper connection with your over-arching intention. You may want to check that your over-arching intention is clear and simple, one that works for you at all times, in all places, with respect to trust.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
Tomorrow we shift to the Acting/Claiming Affirmations, so consider anything else that is relevant to you about your understanding and relationship to trust. Next week’s action-oriented affirmations are quite different from this week’s statements and exercises.

Make this a thoughtful day!

May 20, Positive Affirmation for Trust

"I understand the meaning of trust.
I know that when I trust myself, I trust others."

About Today’s Affirmation
Today’s affirmation is the one which best presents my own definition of "trust." When you truly know the meaning of trust, you transcend the mental processes, that is, you do not merely recognize or think about trust, you know trust. The deepest meaning of trust is an experience which no words can convey, yet it can be empowering to attempt to find the words that represent or name the experience as authentically as possible.

Here’s an example: I facilitated a corporate team building event for five powerful persons for whom "trust" had been an issue repeatedly identified in the advance interviews. On the afternoon of the second/last day, one of the participants said, "This is it. This is trust." We all paused. In the silence we could feel it. In that moment, words to describe the feeling would have been hollow, indeed, yet his clear and succinct words named the moment for us to breathe in and experience.

About Your Process
Identify a situation (a relationship, place in nature, book, teacher, prayer, silence, etc.) in which you know trust. You have no doubt; you know trust. Breathe in trust. Feel it. Sense it. Notice its texture. See its color. Hear its vibration. Let your lips touch it as you whisper or shout "trust." Describe it. Throughout my many years as a group process facilitator and consultant, I have repeatedly observed positive results when folks verbalize their visions and dreams and goals to others, especially others who care. If this feels appropriate to you (trust yourself to know if this is appropriate or not), share your Trust Vision Statement (as described with yesterday’s affirmation) with a trusted friend.

"Building Trust: A Quick Tip for Regular Practice" focuses on a simple tip for practice building trust, practicing again and again.
"Fire Free Bird" recounts a true story about a bird who flew into my fireplace to teach a powerful lesson.
"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.

"I remember to trust. I trust myself.
I remember who I Am."

About Today’s Affirmation
Sometimes you just forget. Acknowledge your forgetfulness as an aspect of the human condition, without falling into the trap of blame or guilt. Forgetfulness can be the result of any number of possible causes, and sometimes is just as simple as having the focus of your attention on something other than the subject you have forgotten. Today’s affirmation challenges you to remember on many levels: to remember the idea of trust, to remember yourself, and to remember the divine. It is time to remember; it is time to re-member.

About Your Process
As you are understanding yourself and trust more deeply, you may find that a Trust Vision Statement supports you. Your vision statement may be your over-arching intention for the month, the dream(s) in which you trust, your definition of trust, or your desired manifestation. When you have developed a Trust Vision Statement that you are pleased with, put it in a place that allows you to give it your attention at various times throughout the day. Let the Trust Vision Statement change if needed. It can help you to remember who you are.

"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.
"One Thought at a Time" is a short poem about a simple approach for experiencing greater happiness as a result of intentional positive thought choices.

May 18, Positive Affirmation for Trust

"My mission is to embrace trust in my world."

About Today’s Affirmation
This is a worthy mission! As you embrace trust in ways that feel personal, you make a powerful contribution to the world. Think of what a different world it would be if you and everyone else trusted each other! Wow! In an instant, the world would be transformed. In the meantime, though, you can transform Your World, because Your World is where you give your attention. "World Peace is a Personal Choice." You get to choose the world in which you live by the focus of your attention.

About Your Process
You have your own unique, individual, personalized, and singular process. Running parallel to your unique process is the universal process. If you look carefully, you are likely to find that your process and the universal process are astoundingly similar. This similarity does not diminish your uniqueness, but supports and honors it. Perhaps you have stepped through a dark wall of despair, fear, doubt, and toxicity. Throughout history, humans have been clever about stepping around the wall (denying it), going over it (overcoming it), blasting into it (forcing or struggling with it), and lifting it up (glorifying it).

It is time now to walk through it with your light. Oops! Be careful not to drop the light, believing that the darkness is omnipresent. The heaviness you are experiencing in yourself and/or others right now is the confirmation that the transformative process is working. You are walking through the darkness with your light. Embrace your mission.
