★Have you tried to affirm right after a break down?

I love the awkward moment of calmness after crying my soul out, when the bathroom floor is nice and cold.

I love the state of helplessness that enables me to let go – let God.

I had my most powerful affirming moments right after my just-hit-a-rock-bottom moments!

Could be because of the desperate need of hope that I believe so strongly in my affirmation ; my way out. However, I don’t affirm WHILE breaking down, it doesn’t work for me. I have to feel relaxed to accept what I’m saying and therefore believe myself.

Needless to say, it’s been quite some time since I felt bad or even close to it.. Thanks God I’m so grateful, I really,really am!

I’m just analyzing the past ..

Hi Aisha!
I have had similar rock bottom moments in my life and having gone through them I now see them as life affirming miracles. That cry for help was your most ultimate humble connection with God….like you said, you let go and LET GOD!

Its at times like this when we take it back to basics and quieten down the external noise and form a life long reconciliation with God/Universe/Higher Power – or however you choose to call/view it.

I read you post yesterday….a couple of times but didnt quite know what to say, but today the words are coming out of me because I guess all I really need to say is I hear you and most importantly, God hears you and you are not alone….

This desperation is a gift and its the miracle that carries you forward – which you will see when you look back after having gone through it.

Thank you Aisha for reminding me of this as it has brought gratitude back in my heart regarding a similar place I too have been. I am so grateful for having that spiritual awakening and reconciling with God – it paved the way for absolute excellence in my life today…..and it will for you too.

Dont look back with anger – run with this gift and the possibilties are endless now!

Love and blessings,
Anoushka

Aisha you are such a true person and it’s very nice to see someone talk about their feelings. Recently my former sister-in-law passed away. I cried because it really hurts to miss someone. Death is normal but I really don’t like it. My nephew was crying with all his heart and would stop because someone told him to be strong.

I told him, “go ahead and cry as much as you need too your mother just died” he said, “everyone keeps telling me to be strong” I told him, “It’s because if you start crying they want to cry too and that means weakness.”

It is not a sign of weakness but of being human tears are given to us for a reason. They help to heal your soul. Then you can look up and see a brand new day. We come equipped with everything we need to live in this world.

Peace,
Mary

Mary you are making sooo much sense to me.. Sometimes I look back and don’t like what I see and how much time I wasted feeling sorry about myself… but then, as you said, my soul is healed now..

“It is not a sign of weakness but of being human tears are given to us for a reason. They help to heal your soul. Then you can look up and see a brand new day.” Ahhhh, Bless your keyboard for that!! :-D
