I’ll admit it, they make me queasy. Affirmations and meditations seems to be popular tools among self-help authors. At best, they’re promoted as tools to help center and ground the participants, at worst they promise you the moon and the sky.
However, in light of Lynn’s request to “let me be the coach” and “be willing to take risks and try new things”, I’m trying my best to hush the nagging, critical inner-voice (a.k.a the gremlin). So voila… here’s my affirmation:
My practice fulfils a real need. People enthusiastically recommend my service.
How about yourself? Have you created an affirmation that triggers “negative beliefs (to) quickly surface”? If so, have you attempted the charting exercise on page 55? Is it working?

I’m tapping into my natural assets – curiosity and enthusiasm – to battle my natural tendency to view the glass as 1/2 full. I’ll report back what I’ve learned.
