Hanging Heart…

I am safe hanging my heart on this limb…I am safe because comfort surrounds me…I am safe because the leaves of friendship are there to cradle me if I should suddenly slip…I am safe hanging my heart on this limb…I am safe for I am circled with love…I am circled with faith…I am circled with belief…I am circled with hope…I am safe because I am holding onto my own truth.

Welcome to From the Inside Out…a place where we will explore the power of positive affirmation writing from YOU to YOU.

This is the week that if you haven’t already started your journal, you will begin to do so. Hopefully, you have read the lessons that I have learned about affirmation journaling, and it was helpful to you.

This journal is entirely yours. Remember that it not only belongs to you

Personally, but it is YOU…your thoughts, your dreams, your hopes and desires that you have for yourself. This is a never-ending journey with your self.

GETTING STARTED

I hope you have found your spot where you have decided to do your affirmations daily…and your perfect pen, or pencil…even a crayon!!

That you have decided on your journal…lined or unlined…Remember all of this is totally up to YOU.

There are many different techniques that you can use when starting this adventure. Starting small is the easiest way to start that allows you to get comfortable with the process. Here are a few examples of what I have learned and used over the many years of writing affirmation journals.

1. Rapid writing: Forget about grammar….just let words flow onto the page of your journal with any thought you might have.

2. Talk to yourself: ask yourself a question and then allow yourself to answer that question on your page.

3. Write a letter: to yourself from yourself either in the present or from yourself as an older or younger age.

4. Set a timer: Do not be afraid of a blank page…don’t sit to long and stare at it…set a timer and give yourself 5 minutes. It is amazing how much you can write or doodle in that time.

5. Make lists: list how you are feeling and if you find some negative ones, find a way you are willing to turn it into a positive one.

6. Reflect: I have found that taking the time to reflect on what I have written about in my journal allows me to capture the positive at the end of the week even more.

I will be sharing my affirmation pages with you starting on Wednesday. I have been going over some of my pages from the earlier journals to show you my process. Hopefully they will give you a place to start if you are feeling a bit awkward. I will also provide you with a question that you can ask yourself if you need a prompt to get you started.

So, are you ready to start your journey? I hope that you are ready to open yourself up to growth and transforming. The key to being successful at this is the WANTING to learn and discover your positive side. So, why wait any longer? Let your adventure begin today!!

Artfully Yours,
Patricia
