I sang this song in church growing up. I would belt it out! It has more meaning for me now than it did back then.
Today is about affirmation. Time to squelch those negative thoughts that pop up when we think or hear positive statements about ourselves. You know it's funny (not funny ha ha) how easy it is to believe the negative; and how hard it is to believe the positive.
I want you to do this exercise: recall the people and times, you and your creativity, were wished well. Write them down. Try to remember specific compliments or encouragement recieved. You'll be amazed at your response. Your confidence level will rise. You'll automatically smile. You feel better! You are becoming the little engine that could.
Now, I want you to come up with a personal affirmation. A couple I read and liked in The Artist's Way are, "My creativity heals myself and others". Or, "My dreams come from God and God has the power to accomplish them." Whatever you come up with, repeat it often. Say it every morning in the mirror after you brush your teeth. If a negative pops up, turn it into a positive. We are our own worst enemy. Don't hold yourself back. Instead, propel yourself forward. You. Are. Unstoppable.
And I have faith in you.
Today's quote: An affirmation is a strong, positive statement that something is already so. -Shakti Gawain
