After Reading This Piece I Love and Respect Authority More
It feels empowering to say I am the author of my life
I practice a few rituals in the morning that help me integrate and live my BEM (Body, Mind, and Emotions) model. One such ritual is saying Affirmations. I have observed that by saying Affirmations loudly in front of the mirror, I get to see myself, hear my voice, watch my body language and feel my feelings. To me, it serves as perfect coordination of how I am physically showing up, emotionally feeling, and mentally present to what I am affirming.
I started saying affirmations several years back when I lost my job and embraced self-employment as a blessing in disguise. Saying these affirmations have tremendously helped me move through major life transformations from mother to empty nester to mother-in-law to grandmother smoothly. In the professional arena, saying affirmations have helped me be determined with grit and gratitude when expectations are not met.
By saying an affirmation about beauty from the book “Meditations to heal your life” by Louise L Hay, I realized that as I look for beauty, it showed up.
Real spiritual authority has to do with the truth of the actual words being spoken, and the spirit of the person behind the words. Authority is about the truth: honest-living truth.
Keeping the above quote in mind, I am picking up the page titled “Authority” from the book Meditations to heal your life” by Louise L Hay, and let us say the following affirmation together:
I am the main authority in my world. I am the author of my life. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind. As a child, I accepted authority figures as gods. Now I’m learning to take back my power and become my authority figure. I now accept myself as a powerful, responsible being. As I meditate every morning, I get in touch with my inner wisdom. The school of life is deeply fulfilling as we come to know that we are all students and all teachers. We each have come to learn something and to teach something. As I listen to my thoughts, I gently guide my mind toward trusting my inner wisdom. Grow and blossom and entrust all your affairs on Earth To your Divine source. All is well.

It is your turn now:
What does “authority” mean to you? How has saying this affirmation changed your thoughts when someone is authoritative? Can you permit yourself to take back power and become your authority figure embracing humility? Can you accept yourself as a powerful and responsible being?
