Support This

I had a way a for all of us to gain “instant” affirmation type support with whatever is going on in our lives currently.

With a single one-liner affirmation respond to a members’ post with a positive affirmation—and or respond with a current issue of your own that could use a fresh affirmation.

Here’s my very current issue:
I just got through doing a lot of what needed to be done and still much to go. I’m grateful for having what it takes to do what I’ve done, though I seem to be fizzling out. I will be taking a needed break and part of that is writing this—I thought it would be more productive to start a support-type thread to gain assistance or give it when asked for(:

Hi Laurie, I can totally relate to you. My business is very holiday business driven and it seems like just as the season is about to wrap up, my energy has been a little depleted.

When I am most exhausted, I like to take a little mental break. I make myself a nice cup of Green Tea and do some deep breathing exercises… nice, long and slow breaths to calm myself and bring back life into my body. As I breath in, I say to myself, “I am breathing in energy”. As I breath out, I say to myself, “I exhale all stress”. The Green Tea is just my little reward to myself. It has no specific ‘magic cure’ for me. Within 5 or 10 minutes, I can get back going again.

Good Luck. I am sending positive energy your way!

Hi laurie, another great thread!

I know the fizzling out feeling very well, when I feel like this I also take a short break and do something totally different, like read a book or go for a walk in the park.

The affirmation I use for times like this is: I channel the energy of the infinite – it is definitely one of my most often used affirmations!

In response to Lee Nutter’s post:
Thanks Lee!

The reminder(: to breathe and a treat from meditatingmama,and your affirmation suggestion (getting infinite energy) are refreshing solutions.

And as always thanks, Lee for the kind words about the choice of thread.
It is my pleasure to be involved in this community.

The biggest saying I repeat to myself is that ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and I find myself saying it to everyone who is going through problems or confusions. It helps me not get too caught up in disappointments or the good ol ‘doom’ stage, I always say it so that I look to the future with better prospects when something hasn’t gone the way I intended.

My favorite statement to myself lately (came from a bmindful member) ... It’s what’s the alternative? It seems to center me…reminding me I’m doing things of my own choosing.

Affirmations: something I read…. next time you are about to stop doing what you want/need to complete or have opposed views about beginning…/or completing …tell yourself that there is nothing in the world more important than what you are doing (or about to do) at this very moment.
