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!

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

May 22nd, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, 5-Integrating/Embodying Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Trust, Week 4-Plus, Weekly Messages 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!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of April 22-30, Clarity

April 22nd, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, 5-Integrating/Embodying Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Clarity, Week 4-Plus, Weekly Messages 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. Read the information on the sidebars for additional information. The messages will be here for you Day by Day. Check in as often as you want; participate in the ways that are appropriate for 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 Clarity
To act with clarity is powerful when you acknowledge divine clarity. If you believe you know who is right and wrong and who is bad and good, this is not divine clarity, but self righteousness. A clear and high intention sets the foundation for actions that are clear and rewarding. Every action you take is an opportunity for personal development and empowerment. More important, every action is an opportunity for joy and further clarity.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
Each day this week, you may want to become more conscious of each action in these ways: (1) Set an intention for the action; (2) Write down the intention; (3) Be fully present in the action; (4) Reflect on the action afterward to determine if what you manifested was in alignment with the original intention; (5) Be good to yourself while you are learning as well as after mastering this process.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for clarity it would be “I let every act be an act of clarity” which is the affirmation for April 27. It associates the idea of clarity with everything that you do.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Clarity
These two days, following the four weeks of April, present an opportunity to integrate the ideas about clarity that you wish to take with you on the rest of your journey. Anything that does not fit, leave alone. If you try to take on something that you cannot assimilate, you will make the releasing work of the beginning of May more difficult. Trust yourself to know what works for you.

About your Process in the Remaining Days
You may find it helpful to identify some of the affirmations that stood out as particularly meaningful to you this month. If you have kept a journal, you will reinforce and therefore further integrate the ideas by reviewing your journal entries. Rereading selected messages for this month will assist you in embodying the concepts.

Make this a powerful week-plus!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of March 22-31, Balance

March 22nd, 2008 Jeanie Marshall Posted in 4-Acting/Claiming Affirmations, 5-Integrating/Embodying Affirmations, Monthly Theme: Balance, Week 4-Plus, Weekly Messages 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. Read the information on the sidebars for additional information. The messages will be here for you Day by Day. Check in as often as you want; participate in the ways that are appropriate for 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 Balance
Since everything is constantly in a state of change, it is important to be cognizant of balance when you are moving as well as when you are still. Whether you are moving from the inside to the outside, from outside to inside, from higher to lower, or from lower to higher, tap into your desire to to achieve balance. Act from balance; act in balance; act to balance; act as balance.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
Think of balance as an energy that fuels your thoughts, feelings, and actions. During this week, you may wish to focus on one specific priority in your life to direct the flow of balance. Keep your focus on both balance and the priority, and you cannot fail to achieve balance. Put your attention elsewhere and you fuel that other thing. Balance. Priority. Balance. Priority. Balance. Priority.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for balance it would be the affirmation for March 27: “I let every act be an act of balance. I act from deep integrity.” This keeps the attention on both actions and balance (the week’s process and this month’s theme respectively) as well as integrity.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Balance
Let this week’s affirmations support you in reflecting on the month’s exploration of balance. Every situation can teach you about balance. Say Yes! to balance today and every day. You do not need to wait for any particular event or circumstance to change. Acknowledge balance right now.

About your Process in the Remaining Days
Select your special techniques for embodying and integrating ideas, feelings, and experiences. For example: journaling, reflecting on highlights, reviewing the previous DailyAffirm messages and any exercises you may have done with the affirmations. As you meditate on balance, reflect on the whole month and weed out anything on your desk or computer that makes you feel imbalanced, indecisive, or overloaded.

Make this a wonderful week-plus!

Positive Affirmations for the Week of February 22-29, Love

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

Greetings! This message serves as an overview for the acting and claiming affirmations of this fourth week and the integrating and embodying affirmation for leap year day. 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 (see navigation bar).

About Acting/Claiming Affirmations and Love
The affirmations focus on acting in partnership with love this week. Include love in the planning and expectancy of your actions (future), in the experience of your actions (present), and in the reflection of our completed actions (past). Every time you speak, make a claim about who you are or what you think or feel. This week, become more aware than ever that these claims are made in association with love. Each word is an action; each thought is creative and therefore can be considered an action. Move through the week fueled by the energy of love.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
How are you going to claim love or self-love this week? What is the most important action you can take to demonstrate to yourself that you love yourself or you love someone or something else? How can you show that you love your computer? your car? the clerk in the supermarket? the parking lot attendant? Your action may be as simple as a smile, as gentle as a kind look, or as engaging as a playful statement. Consider for a moment, how the whole world would be transformed if you and everyone else in the world smiled a genuine smile of unconditional love at everyone else. Wow! What a picture.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for love, it would be the affirmation for February 26: “I draw a circle of love and encase myself in it.” I find the image of a “circle of love” very powerful.

About the Integrating/Embodying Affirmation and Love
It has been eight years since the Integrating/Embodying Affirmation for love has had its own separate day. Love is a powerful energy to integrate. Happy Leap Year Day.

About your Process with this Integrating/Embodying Affirmation
How are you going to integrate love into your life? You may decide to do it by reflecting on the month’s processes and ideas. Or, you may decide to mediate on love without any content. Or, you may notice how you have changed this month. Or, you may notice that other things in your life have changed. Has your concept of love expanded?

Make this a lovely week!
