This Act Helped Me Make Healthy Choices
Affirming that my body is a good friend
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.
I invite you to read the article titled “This May Help if You Are a New Driver,” where I shared how a Teen Driver can move past the fear of driving by saying an affirmation of the word “car.”
Isn’t it true that we go into the “Default mode” of saying, “I am fat,” or “I am dark colored,” Or “I am not beautiful?”
Keeping in mind the judgment we make of our body, I am picking up the page titled “Body” from the book Meditations to heal your life” by Louise L Hay, and let us say the following affirmation:
Body
My body is a good friend that I take Loving Care of. I love my body. My body is perfect for me at this time. My body weight is also perfect. I’m exactly where I choose to be. I’m beautiful, and every day I become more attractive. This concept used to be very hard for me to accept, yet things are changing now that I’m treating myself as if ever someone who was deeply loved. I’m learning to reward myself with healthy little treats and pleasures now and again. Little acts of Love nurture me by doing things that I like such as quiet time, a walk in nature, a hot soothing bath, or anything that gives me pleasure. I enjoy caring for myself. I believe it is okay to like myself and to be my own best friend. I know my body is filled with starlight and that I sparkle and glow everywhere I go.
