affirmation station!

hola.  mash here..

below is a list of affirmations that i found on an eating disorder recovery website a while back.  i have used affirmations many times in my life, as a means to re-programing my mind.  they are really the most consistent thing that i have used for the last 4 years of my life, as i have gained more and more power in my life.  there have been times that it was affirmations that helped me get out of bed in the morning.  when my phone alarm said "i love my life.  i want to live.  i feel good when i am awake and alive!"

i have affirmations all over my walls.. on my phone screen, laptop desktop, in my purse.  everywhere!  one of my favorites lately is

     my highest choice is love.. whenever in doubt, i open my heart!

i also use some affirmation starters from something called "Conscious Language" ... a few being

• I AM...
• I CAN...
• I WILL...
• I CHOOSE... 
• I EMPOWER MYSELF TO...
• I REQUIRE...

so when i find myself starting to say something like "i can't take this.  i want to eat something.  i need help..." etc...

i might "upgrade" the thought to "i choose to love myself.  i can love myself.  what do i require in order to love myself?  i require support.  i empower myself to call someone and pray.  i will be at peace.  i love myself." (or something along those lines)
