For me affirmations are like the acorns of the spiritual world. From the little seed of thought that affirmation plants in our mind, the possibility of something so much bigger can come into being. All we have to do is nurture it and believe in it.

Affirmations form a large part of my life, and I use them every day. I write them, I speak them, and lately I’ve taken to creating art out of them.

Here are a few I use to remind me to be happy no matter what:

• I AM worthy of happiness!
• I go with the flow. My life is fillied with easy and happiness.
• I see and appreciate the beauty in my surroundings.
• I enjoy everything the world has to offer! I give myself permission to celebrate!
• I choose only the thoughts that nourish and support me in a loving manner.
• I relax and accept the good that I know I deserve in my life.
• I follow my heart. I AM happy!

Using affirmations such as these allow me to celebrate the good things in my life. I’m a worrier at heart, so having positive affirmations in my arsenal allows my to step back and plant the “thought seeds” necessary to allow me to refocus on the good stuff when I notice myself getting too wrapped up in the stress of the day.

I didn’t always do so well with thoughts like these. There was a time when I didn’t believe a word of it. But I’m getting better, and now just even typing these words out to share with you has me smiling and breathing deeply and knowing that indeed I do deserve to be happy.

I hope that you find them as useful as I do. :)

Be Happy!
