Life feels harder than it's ever been for so many of us, doesn't it? Political tension, wars, the cost of living crisis, and the uncertainty that speeds our way due to the pace of technology; all of these issues make us wonder what our world will look like in a year. When we find ourselves living under shadow of impending doom, we forget just how powerful we are. We forget the deep peace that lies within, that cannot be shaken. Try these affirmations to help you to come back to yourself and the beautiful world you inhabit. Music by Alan_Frijns

Affirmations are a great way to guide our lives in a meaningful direction that aligns with our deepest values.

Listen to these every morning for a week and watch for changes in your life.

We are going to set the day so we can rise above any challenge and meet the world from a place of gratitude,

Awareness and joy rather than the usual patterns of mindless reaction.

Sit or lie down in a quiet place and close your eyes.

Relax and focus for a moment on your breathing.

Feel the expansion and contraction of your body wherever you feel it.

As the breath comes in,

Say to yourself in your mind,

Rising.

And as the breath leaves,

Falling.

Rising.

Falling.

Try to remain with the changing sensations in the body brought about by the breathing process.

When your mind wanders,

Gently bring it back to the breath.

Now we will start our affirmations.

I ask your subconscious mind for permission to accept these words as a truth that slowly dawns upon you and brings great transformation into your life.

Repeat after me,

Either quietly to yourself or in your mind.

I am the creative force of my own life.

I can,

At any moment,

Turn on the lantern of my heart to guide me through this journey.

I am the creative force of my own life.

I can,

At any moment,

Turn on the lantern of my heart to guide me through the dark.

I am the creative force of my own life.

I can,

At any moment,

Turn on the lantern of my heart to guide me through the dark.

I am perfectly safe in my true nature,

From which nothing can ever be added or taken away.

I am perfectly safe in my true nature,

From which nothing can ever be added or taken away.

I am perfectly safe in my true nature,

From which nothing can ever be added or taken away.

I do not know what will happen today,

But I know I will be able to handle it.

I do not know what will happen today,

But I know I will be able to handle it.

I do not know what will happen today,

But I know I will be able to handle it.

I am alive,

Fully equipped,

With the faculties to handle whatever comes my way.

Infinite possibilities,

Swim in the sea of uncertainty,

I will be wide awake to opportunity.

I will be wide awake to opportunity.

A life of certainty is not only impossible,

It would be pointless and unbearably dull.

A life of certainty is not only impossible,

It would be pointless and unbearably dull.

A life of certainty is not only impossible,

It would be pointless and unbearably dull.

No matter how bad things get,

Nothing stays the same.

Everything is a sea of constant change,

And when I let go,

I float on that sea.

Everything is a sea of constant change,

And when I let go,

I float on that sea.

I float to shores of safety.

I trust you life.

I know that your challenges created me a powerful resilience and profound wisdom.

If your lessons are rightly viewed.

I trust you life.

I know that your challenges created me a powerful resilience and profound wisdom.

If your lessons are rightly viewed.

I trust you life.

I know that your challenges created me a powerful resilience and profound wisdom.

If your lessons are rightly viewed.

Now come back to your breathing.

Feeling the rising and falling that occur with the breath.

You have just planted powerful,

Life-affirming seeds.

Every time you listen to this program,

You are watering those seeds.

Get ready for the beautiful new garden of life that will slowly begin to bloom.

In your everyday experience,

Open your eyes and have a wonderful day.
