HAPPY CHRISTMAS ‘WEEK’

Affirmation Tools Short Form Affirmation and Secrets of the Universe for every day from Monday, December 19 to December 15th Christmas Day!

MONDAYDecember 19, 2011

Make this your full day of forgiveness. Focus on forgiving what and who that needs your forgiveness.

Affirmation Tool The Extended Toothbrush Exercise

Get up in the morning and just before or after you have brushed your teeth, look into the mirror and say, “Hey Self, you are a mighty fine person. You are lovely. I now forgive everyone and everything that has ever hurt me. I now forgive myself. I love, respect and approve of myself just the way I am.”
When you have finished go on about your day.

Note

When you say ‘ever’ this goes right back to creation, to the time when you were in your mother’s womb. So if too many hurtful and negative memories surface at the same time just say firmly and with authority, "One at a time please!" This way you can deal with each negative memory on its own and forgive completely so you never have to do it again.

Short Form Affirmation
"I,(your name) now forgive everyone and everything that has ever hurt me.I now forgive myself, I love, respect and approve of myself. I am free, joyous and happy."

Note

This may be the time to forgive that family member or friend.

Secret<of the Universe/strong>

This one of the secrets of the great Universe—True and complete forgiveness benefits and gives healing mostly to the person doing the forgiving---and that would be you.

TUESDAY, December 20, 2011

Focus on your thoughts today and discover and uncover where your thoughts are residing.

Affirmation Tool Thought Watching

Really think about what you think about! Purchase a small notebook and put three columns— (a)Same as yesterday; (b)Negative;(c)Positive

For today just watch your thoughts and record them under the appropriate column. This way you will soon discover and uncover just where your thoughts are taking up residency. Should you discover you have too many negative thoughts, you created them so you have the power to uncreate them and replace them with positive, happy thoughts.

Think about all the people you will be with this Christmas Season, family, friends, associates, etc. Also think about a family member and/or friend you may have negative feeling for from the past or now.

Bring the situation back into your memory, feel the pain momentarily and then slowly but surely release that negativity and let it go. You will feel so much lighter and better.

That person is dealing with his or her own challenges and life situations and that incident, event was them venting their own stuff. It is NOT your stuff so let it go completely.

Create a picture in your mind of you and that person enjoying a happy Christmas time together with family.

This creates happiness for all involved in Christmas gathering or Christmas dinners, etc. Change your thoughts and change your mind and change your life accordingly.

Short Form Affirmation

"I, (your name) now become aware of my thoughts and just where they are residing. I easily replace negative ones with happy and positive ones right here and right now!"

Secret of the Universe

This one of the Secrets of the great Universe. You are in complete control of your thoughts. No one can jump into your mind and think your thoughts for you, nor can you do that for another.

WEDNESDAY, December 21, 2011

Focus on your wonderful, healthy and glorious mind today!

Affirmation Tool Mind Power and Self-Talk

Uncover and Discover Affirmation Tool

Go within, deep into your mind and check your thoughts and information therein. Are your thoughts happy and uplifting? Or are they negative and depressing? What words are you using when you speak to yourself about yourself? What words are you using when you speak to and with others? Are they encouraging? Or are they ‘put-downs’?

Whatever you are thinking and saying is setting up future events and conditions for yourself! Let’s do some ‘mind cleaning.’

To help you do this, get a pail or pot of dirty water. Place it in a sink where the water can overflow easily. Now turn on the tap just a little bit and allow the clean, fresh water to go into the pail or pot of dirty water. After a while you will discover that all the dirty (negative) water has disappeared and in its place is fresh, sparkling water. This is the way with your mind. Become aware of your negative thoughts and replace and fill them with positive, happy and constructive thoughts that become words that become your reality.

Your mind is now filled with happy and positive thoughts just as your pail or pot is filled with clear, sparkling water.

Short Form Affirmation

"I, (your name) am filled with peace, joy and happiness. I enjoy my new, happy and positive thoughts. I enjoy thinking wonderful, positive and happy thoughts!


Secret of the Universe

You and you alone have the power to replace negativity with positive, happy thoughts. You created them and you and YOU alone have the power to uncreate them.

Focus today on the power you have within to create your life as you wish it to be using the Affirmation Tool of Creative Visualization.

Affirmation Tool Creative Visualization

Use your power of Creative Visualization (Seeing in pictures).When you use Creative Visualization, you are creating pictures and scenes in the future—what you wish to happen in your life.

Affirmation Tool of Creation

Close your eyes and visualize in vivid color a movie of what you wish to take place in your life during this Christmas season. (a) First see the situation as it is in the present moment; (b)Visualize exactly how you wish it to be (that is in a‘perfect’ world) ---Oh yes, please add the safety clause, here (to the good of all parties and situations concerned);(c) What changed?

CHRISTMAS EVE

Focus today on Preparation and Celebration, remembering not to ‘sweat the small stuff.’ Never allow negative remarks or actions from another person to affect your happiness this Christmas Season or any time. You have the power to say, “Cancel, cancel, or delete, delete,” to that negativity so it cannot enter your computer (your mind). When you do not allow it in, you do not have to deal with it.

Affirmation Tool Hourglass

Preparing for Christmas Eve Celebration/Dinner or
Preparing for Christmas Day Celebration/Dinner

Some people celebrate Christmas Eve when they have their family dinner and exchange gifts and others celebrate it on Christmas Day. (Modify this information to suit your individual family tradition.)

TODAY

Say the following Affirmation over and over, “I am too blessed to be stressed!” And really concentrate your energy on becoming this Affirmation statement.

The Faith of a Tiny Mustard Seed

Have FAITH that everything is working out perfectly for you, and it is! When you need to be reminded, just look at this tiny mustard seed attached and think, ‘that is ALL the faith I need! (and I have it now!)

Do ONE task at a time

Make a list of all the things you need for your dinner/celebration.

Hints

If you ask a family member or friend to bring cranberry sauce, just make sure you have some on hand in case that person is late or forgets.

Keep Your Faith

And remember your ‘Mustard Seed,’ knowing that that is the tiny amount of faith needed to move mountains!

My Experience

One Christmas Dinner we asked a family member to bring the buns and she was an hour late for the dinner so one of our group had to run out at the last minute on Christmas Eve and buy some dinner rolls (buns).

We had to hold dinner until he returned with the buns. Now we make certain that we have things like cranberry sauce, buns, pickled beets, pickles, staples, etc. on hand as a back-up plan.

Making a list of what you are making for Christmas Dinner/Celebration is always a good idea so you will not forget something important. It just takes a few minutes and pays off in dividends. Not only that you will feel better that you have your ‘back-up’ plan in place.

Don’t stress out that everything has to be perfect ---remembering--'It is what it is!' And it is perfect for your dinner, family and everything!

Hints

Always remember the greatest ‘gift’ (present) we can ever give a person is the gift of our time, listening and being supportive.

You can make place cards of where you wish your guests to sit. If you remember that Uncle Rueben and Cousin Ralph are argumentative, then simply set them at the opposite end of the table.

Make little cards and place under the plate with a special, individual message for that family member, friend, and/or guest. Say something like—

“I am so blessed to have you in my life! I love you.”
“Donna you are so helpful. Thank ho for all the help you gave me when I most needed it. I love you!”

And of course make up your own.•

I suggest putting the messages in little envelopes so that the person can either open it up and read it then or put it away and read it later.

It is always nice to have a person say the Christmas Blessing/Prayer.
Make up your own traditions.

After dinner you can go around the table asking your guests what they are thankful for and what are their plans, goals for the upcoming New Year of 2012.

Make some home made gifts.

Do Random Acts of Kindness at the Holiday Season and all the time and encourage others to do so as well.

Don’t make Christmas all about gifts and what you receive, instead make it about the Christmas Story (whatever you believe in) and being together.

Don’t stress out about getting that ‘perfect gift’ for someone or worry that it won’t be what they like or want. Just do the very best you can do with what you have, then let it go and get on with the business of living your life now to the fullest!

And most of all E N J O Y that special Holiday Time with your loved ones. Also send happy, loving thoughts to people that are not as fortunate as you. Ones that have lost a loved one; are suffering; and having the Holiday Season alone. I believe that these loving, happy and positive thoughts stay in the area of their aura until the person you sent them to is willing and/or able to receive them.

Short Form Affirmation

"I,(your name) now easily complete one task at a time. I know I have time to complete everything I need to in the allotted time frame easily. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Secret of the Universe

You can only do successfully ONE thing at a time. Being overwhelmed is being in a state of unrest and frustration. Avoid it.
