The Crafty Scribe's Favourite Quotes - 21 and Project of the Day

Dear Scribbers

Back on Favourite Quotes 11 I discussed affirmations. Here's another quote 'affirming' my thoughts:

"Affirmations are like prescriptions for certain aspects of yourself you want to change." Jerry Frankhauser.

Don't you think that a positive thought backed up by a statement is a stronger medicine than reaching for a pill bottle? Obviously, if you have been prescribed by your doctor, there is a reason for taking tablets, and this is NOT medical advice.

This is a symbolic quote, meaning: it's better to be positive to help heal yourself through your own thinking, than look for outward solutions, blame your situation and expect other people to fix you.

Project of the Day - Create a crafting project with the title - 'My Prescription for A Better Me' include upbeat positive life-affirming photos/drawings/writings to show all the aspects of your life you want to change. Underneath each item of change, write a positive affirmation, written in the present, to assist you on your way.

Have fun with this one. Now, take two affirmations and call me in the morning!
Happy Scribing!

The Crafty Scribe's Favourite Quotes - 11 and Project of The Day

Dear Scribblers

I believe in the little things that you can do for yourself, that can make a big difference.

"An affirmation is a strong, positive statement that something is already so."  Shaki Gawain.

Affirmations are short sentences written in the present to create a better attitude and focus in your life. It can be simple and wide-ranging such as "I am positive and happy" or it can relate to a specific goal, "I am a talent writer of spy novels."

The only rules are:

• To use positive language
• Write it as if it is already happening
• It relates to you personally
• Write it out, or read it every day

Project of the Day - Create an affirmations, or a set of affirmations for yourself following the rules above. Focus on the areas of life you would like to improve. It is the repetitive daily positive action which will help you make outstanding changes to your attitude and life.

How do I know? It's worked for me many, many times. I write out my affirmations every single day, and I see the difference it makes.

Happy Scribing!
