I along with a group of my buddies are doing an experiment. We wrote down brief statements of who we want to be and what we want to accomplish ... but in PRESENT tense, not future tense. Instead of saying, "I will own a home," we say "I am a homeowner. Stating "I am debt-free", rather than "I am going to be debt-free", gives it a certain power & responsibility. It becomes something you believe about yourself in the present, meaning you will begin acting as such NOW.
We decided that we would speak the statements aloud every day for 30 days, and at the end of the month come back together and see how each of us has benefitted.
I personally decided to title mine "Daily Affirmations"...
So it's been about 7 days and already two of these statements have positively affected my behavior and attitude. So I guess that's what I'll be blogging about for the next few entries ... stay tuned!
[ i'm a woman. i'm a professional dancer. i obsess over healthy living. i like to write lists. i appreciate beauty. i'm a pilates instructor. i love God. i teach children. i love to see people come into ownership of who they were created to be. i like simple things. very simple. i want to inspire others to become the best version of themselves. i plan everything. i've never met a person that i didn't love. ] these are the things i write about.
I think that is so positive.its always good 2 claim what u want in the present. Like if u have an F in a class and you claim a good gpa and do like extra credit or something to get a good grade and before you know it ur grade will be up.
