S......Weet

All I did was affirm what a great day it was…My brother used to tease me about doing affirmations but I wanted to test this affirmation out.  I told myself in the morning that it was going to be a great day.  I kept saying how great the day is... all through the day.... Things like, "Life loves me."  "Only Good Lies Before Me."
     So yesterday, I saw my back doctor.  He is one of the kindest doctors I have ever had.  He did something different in his manipulations and my back was a lot better.  He doesn’t crack it anymore… but moved my legs around and twisted me a lot.  It was great…I felt pretty good after.
  I came home and cleaned up my place a lot.  Still affirming.  I made two important phone calls and then went out with a friend to watch her and some other ladies do an Egyptian Dance that they are performing this week.  She had talked about this “group” a lot.  But she takes class 2 minutes from where I live in a place I would have never imagined.  There is a little industrial area by the railroad tracks and this little place has a studio in the back.  So I watched them and sitting there, I started to feel pretty bad... Alot of back pain.  After they were done rehearsing, my friend told me to lay down on a table they had that massages you.  After figuring out the controls, I turned it on and let it massage me.  It was sheer heaven.  Then they invited me in another room for wine and cheese.  It was positively lovely and unexpected.  They told me to come back and use the massage table again.
All I did was affirm all day how great the day was….

  1. I want a massage table, too! (Well, the wine and cheese part sounds pretty good, too.)

  2. Noah Elkrief seems to be a popular self help guy of the moment. He had an interesting Youtube tutorial about why positive affirmations are actually a bad thing. I kind of get what he is doing. I think he is hammering away at just being in the moment and not controlling. It is a bummer when you do the affirmation, and it goes in the opposite direction. I just thought it was an interesting take . I am not sure I am ready to toss out affirmations just yet.
