Here’s my Dare To Love Yourself Challenge Video Day 2 – I share with you my “This Too Shall Pass” Moment:

I have tried affirmations in the past without a huge shift – but I never did stick to it every day for 3 weeks. When I do them I feel like I am lying sometimes. When I’m not in a good mood I can’t possibly believe that many of those phrases could ever be possible.

A friend of mine on Facebook, Nancy Barry-Jansson has taught hundreds of people how to get the most from affirmations and is a coach. Her comment to my Day 1 Challenge video yesterday was “Be kind to yourself, Andrea. If affirmations were *true* you wouldn’t benefit from saying them ~feeling like a stretch means they will stretch your consciousness (if you stick with them). If they are too much of a stretch, you can baby-step them.” The part I bolded really helped me feel better.

I’ve been listening and repeating as much as I can with a full time job, a family, a drastic change of lifestyle and preparing for the Dare To Love Tour. How appropriate to start this tour with loving myself, since as Heather says “You cannot give what you have not received.” I am really enjoying checking in on the private Ning group and hearing stories and getting motivated by knowing I am not only making a difference in my own family, but also in getting others to do this with me.

I do want to put emphasis on what Heather says in the Affirmation Introduction: “Say them with conviction, as if they were your absolute code for living.” Make sure you are putting PASSION into your reciting of the affirmations. If you can’t do this, tweak the affirmations so that they are specific to your needs.

Have you personalized your affirmations?
