Summary

Lalitha Brahma discusses the importance of self-affirmations to overcome self-imposed limitations and recognize one's inherent worth and deservingness of good experiences in life.

Abstract

Lalitha Brahma, a proponent of the BEM (Body, Mind, and Emotions) model, shares her personal morning ritual of reciting affirmations in front of a mirror. This practice, influenced by Louise Hay's work, is intended to harmonize physical presence, emotional feelings, and mental affirmations. Brahma acknowledges her initial struggle with creating affirmations but emphasizes their transformative power, particularly when facing emotional manipulation. She encourages readers to embrace the belief that they deserve the best in life, regardless of external conditions or behaviors, and to be aware of self-imposed limitations that may restrict one's experience of good. By adopting this mindset, Brahma has observed a positive impact on her sense of self-worth, well-being, and prosperity. She invites readers to reflect on their own thoughts and beliefs about deservingness and to consider subscribing to her work for further inspiration.

Opinions

  • The author believes that affirmations are a powerful tool for integrating the body, mind, and emotions, leading to a stronger sense of self-worth.
  • Brahma suggests that societal conditioning often leads individuals to believe that good experiences are contingent upon certain behaviors or achievements, which is a misconception.
  • She posits that everyone is inherently worthy and deserving of a wonderful life without the need for external validation or changes in circumstances.
  • The article implies that by becoming aware of and changing limiting beliefs, individuals can open themselves up to greater personal fulfillment and prosperity.
  • Brahma's personal experience indicates that affirmations can help dismantle the idea that one must earn the right to happiness and success through specific actions or status.
  • The author encourages readers to explore their own thoughts and limitations, hinting at the potential for personal growth and a more abundant mindset.

Do You Limit Your Good?

Becoming aware and changing your thinking can help conquer limitations

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 don’t consider myself a good creator of affirmations but having experienced good BEM integration by using Louise Hay’s Affirmations, I am continuing to use them and through the following article, I helped readers open up a new perspective when you feel manipulated.

As I am reading today’s affirmation on the word “Deserving”, I invite you also to read the following phrases loudly:

I deserve the best in life. I deserve splendid experiences. Old people deserve happy, fulfilling lives. Like most people, I used to believe that I deserved only a little bit of good. Few people believe they deserve all good. Do not limit your good. Most of us have been conditioned to believe that the good in life can only be had If you eat Your spinach, clean your room, comb your hair, shine Your shoes, don’t make noise, and so on. Although these may be important things to learn, they have nothing to do with inner self-worth. We need to know that we are already good enough and that without changing anything at all, we deserve a wonderful Life. I open my arms wide and declare with love that I deserve and accept all good.

In the Book “Meditations to heal your life” by Louis L Hay

What changed for me?

Personally, I believe in having good eating habits, cleanliness, and being disciplined. I also don’t like to think that I am automatically entitled to something. Saying the above-specific words loudly in front of the mirror opened me up:

To accept and become aware that sometimes I do limit my good. I do feel I don’t deserve something because I am not making a certain amount of money or having a certain Position which is irrational.

Being aware and choosing to think about this new set of sentences, helped me realize that my inner worth is much more and I am already good enough and deserve a wonderful life. For sure this new thought is inspiring and contributing to my Well-being and Prosperity.
