Affirmation #8: I trust myself to do well

“You can’t get anything right,” can completely undermine my self-confidence. I take a deep breath and say these feel-good words to bring back the energy that I need to make it through the day, or sometimes just make it through the hour. I know that I make mistakes, but I ferret out and find my mistakes. I do well because I make mistakes and I correct them as I go along. These feel-good words give me the confidence to start a project and continue. It makes me realize the value of interim results.  That’s a lot for one affirmation to do, isn’t it?

I trust myself to do well.

I trust myself to do well.

I trust myself to do well.

This affirmation (“feel-good words”) is from my forthcoming book, I FEEL GOOD!  It will be available in electronic, print, and audio versions.

I FEEL GOOD!

• Boosts self-esteem and self-love;
• Counteracts and inoculates against negative self-talk;
• Offers a 2-to-3-minute easy-to-do physical practice that’s based on a combination of QiGong, Yoga, and Meditation techniques.

This unique mix of content fosters mindfulness and makes it easier for children and adults to relax, rejoice, and rejuvenate:

1. Saying affirmations three times, each time emphasizing a different part of the affirmation. Repetition builds resonance and fosters internalization.

2. A Build Your Own Affirmations section assures that affirmations are relevant. This section explains a simple 7-step process for writing affirmations that resonate.

3. The Monkey-Away section provides a two-to-three-minute physical practice that calms the mind and body.

4. Deep breathing is encouraged by illustrations and text. Deep breathing provides the body with a significant amount of fresh oxygen. It purges stale carbon dioxide from the lungs. Both the body and the mind are calmer.

I FEEL GOOD! is being vetted prior to publication. I am particularly interested in getting feedback from parents; teachers: librarians; practitioners of Yoga, Qi Gong, Reiki, Meditation, and other healing arts.  It will probably take you between 15 and 30 minutes to peek inside the manuscript and provide feedback.
