A full Story Affirmation written for a woman who wanted to affirm her spiritual beliefs, in 2013. When asked the question: What do you most want to affirm? she said she wanted to affirm a belief in abundance, that everything she needs and wants could come her way naturally, and that she was on the path to living a purposeful life that she could be proud of and enjoy. Our conversations also revealed other things of importance to her, and all of them were included in her final Story Affirmation. Her identity will remain anonymous.
Good morning. I am _____, beloved spark of the divine descended from a great lineage of powerful and joyful ancestral women who carved the path before me and who are with me always. I am a master of living in the Now and directing my thoughts, feeling, emotion, body, brain and mind into alignment with my Inner Being. I am in the process of continually knowing, seeing, sensing and hearing my Inner Being. I have a firm understanding about the Life I came here to live. Every day brings a deeper and clearer awareness of who I am, how I can enjoy life to its fullest and how I can contribute to the evolution of all Life. Today my love for God and all of life guides my thoughts, words, and deeds. More and more abundance flows generously into my life in every area as my desires manifest quickly and easily under grace in perfect ways. Every day I awaken and say: “Thank you God. Thank you for the joy of being alive for one more glorious day.” Today I sense the perfect health of my body mind temple continually arising in every cell. I am reminded that I have lived well. I realize more with each passing day that I am a vibrant person with blessings to inherit and goodness to share. Increasingly I have the freedom to live the life I choose, with love, joy, vibrant health, and curiosity. I am guided to the perfect opportunities, people and situations to enrich my professional and my personal lives in wonderful and often unforeseen ways. More and more, abundant supply flows in from all directions, and I’m led to the work the relationships, the play, the love, and creative pursuits that are most suited to my unique and evolving mission. I know that I can achieve at the highest levels in whatever areas I choose. Each day I proclaim: “ I am now who I came here to be!”
I send this prayer to the ancient universal source of all that is, Giving thanks for all that I have and all that I will have For all that I will give and all that I will receive
And so it is.
2nd Example:
Here’s a brief simple example of one of MY Story Affirmations. I read it anytime I want to remind myself of some of my accomplishments, particularly a few of the lesser-known high points that are important to me, although very few other people even know about them. (This was written as a humorous biographical statement with a formula I learned from Susan Harrow. YOUR story will not be written with this formula.)
I want you to see an example that shows how your Story Affirmations can be based on truth but still affirm things that most people don’t know about you — true alternatives to what we usually say about ourselves, either out loud or to ourselves.
You may have already known me as a writer, dancer, or massage therapist, but you probably didn’t know that while traveling in Kiev, I once advised the leaders of a Ukrainian industrial concern on the art of forming joint ventures with American manufacturers… that I once taught African dance to children in wheelchairs and modern dance to football players in rural Kentucky schools… or that I was commissioned to choreograph a dance-theater piece for Down Syndrome students to perform at the Kennedy Center.
Of course, YOUR Story Affirmation will be nothing like either of these examples, because it will be written with your desires, priorities, values, and needs in mind.
What would it be like to have a statement that you can read aloud or record for your use in days and years to come, to affirm the most intentional, thoughtful and positive view of your Self and your Life?
