Reblogged from Integrity Project:

I had an insightful conversation with my partner last night. We've seen each other quite little recently because of his work commitments and I really felt like we needed to catch up to see where we are at. We've been together for a decade, but it feels like we're still learning new things about each other every time we dare to really open up.

What a great way to look at our thoughts! :~)

Affirmation, Gratitude and Cooperation

Today’s Affirmation; I, Stephanie, (insert your name here if you like) love that I fiercely believe in the goodness in my heart and yours. I observe the emotions emitted by each heart I meet honouring them and doing my best to keep my emotions centred, calm and compassionate during all my interactions with everyone I meet. I challenge myself every waking moment to be peaceful, kind and friendly in every situation as that arises. I witness the behaviour of others as if everyone is only five years old, including myself and it is easier for me to be infinitely patient, as patience is free you know. I value things like laughter, kindness, curiosity, delight and cooperation in myself and others. I love to create in the people I meet, a smile or a giggle in the hopes of causing their brain to make life sustaining dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. I choose to laugh at myself in the hopes that the whole world joins in with me and laughs at me too.

Today I am grateful for befriending myself, being patient with myself and being of service to all who cross my path for saying hi first, being able to start a conversation with a stranger just as I witnessed my father doing (as somehow I was happy when I dad chatted up people he just met) and for getting to be on the Board Of Directors of the Inspire Shawnigan as I am the new treasurer, I will be learning lots. :~) Thank you for laughing with me today. Thank you for sharing your humour with me. I Love You. ♥ :~)

I love my own company! :~)

Affirmation, Gratitude and Death

Today’s Affirmation; I, Stephanie, (insert your name here if you like) choose to believe that even though I am going to die one day in the far away future I am still able to enjoy the present moment I am living now, in fact, I think knowing deep in my bones, that I am going to die, actually helps me to savour, relish and bask in being alive. I taste, touch, smell, see, hear and experience with my entire being so that the whole Universe senses my awareness of being alive. I thrive when I realize that I my purpose here in the physical realm is to share myself with myself as I believe you and I are one. Which is why giving and receiving are one and the same, when I give to you I am giving to me, as when you are giving to you, you are giving to me too. So today I make sure to love the parts of me I see in you. I love the calmness you possess as well as the frustration because both of those live in me too. I love the love you possess as well as the angry because both of those live in me too. I channel my emotional energy so that I am not channeled by it, knowing deep in my soul that I am in charge of where I invest my time energy and emotion. So today I invest in joy, patience, forgiveness, compassion, delight and unconditional love so that my spiritual bank account has much be shared with everyone I meet.

Today I am grateful for being able to speak up for my needs, as for years I was good at caring for the needs of others while totally negating my own needs, for speaking my truth through I statements, taking full responsibility for my thoughts, feelings and actions so that I feel empowered and for the letter I received a few days ago from the son of a friend of mine who has been receiving my personalized affirmation for about a year now asking me how to cope with being alive all the while you know you are going to die one day in the future, What is life all about? Thank you for your precious moment spent with me today. Thank you for empowering yourself through being responsible for you. I Love You. :~) ♥

I love the pain as I love the pleasure as they are two sides of one coin.

Affirmation, Gratitude and Loving Me

Today’s Affirmation; I, Stephanie, (insert your name here if you like) choose to enjoy all parts of me. I enjoy the helpful, caring, late, on time, frustrated, joyous, easy going and forgiving person that I am every day. I am excited that I consciously go into situations eyes open, allowing each person I meet to express who they are in their own way, knowing that what ever they choose to be, I choose to be kind to them, honouring who they are, by accepting who they believe themselves to be and doing my best to keep reminding myself that each person is a grand spiritual being here to express consciousness perfectly. I witness who we are in every minute of my waking day through the perspective of curiosity and I feel connected to the Universe. I embrace diversity with an open heart and I grow in wisdom, understanding and grace. Thank you for being here with me today. Thank you for expressing consciousness in your perfect way. I Love You. ♥ :~)

Today I am grateful for being able to change my mind as I have had many habits, ideas, thoughts and beliefs that needed fine tuning as I learned over the years that I am a powerful spiritual being that incarnated to love, for understanding that my perspective of myself effects every interaction I have, so today I believe I am worthy of abundance, unconditional love and affection which creates in me a feeling contentment and for realizing that I am teaching people how I want to be treated every moment of the day by how I treat myself, talk about myself and express myself, so today I honour me, love me unconditionally and express what I enjoy about me more often throughout the day which brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart! I approve of me. Thank you for joining me here today. Thank you for loving yourself today. I Love You. ♥ :~)

The best person to love unconditionally is me as that way I get lots of practice so that I may love everyone experience I meet with love.

Affirmation, Gratitude and Frustration

Today’s Affirmation; I, Stephanie, was challenged this morning by Mary Timmons Brown to think only positive thoughts today which was easy to say yes to, as that is my daily goal. So today to help me stay focused on the love in my life I am generous with my energy, as is the sun, so that way I am aligning my heart to the best of my ability with the law of abundance. I think before I act or speak so that all my words are consciously spoken and kind. I am open to the emotions in all situations and I embrace the areas of my life that cause frustration in my heart as that is the fertilizer I need to expand my capacity to love all parts of life the painful, as well as the joyful. As feeling is what I incarnated to explore, enjoy and embrace. Thank you for joining me in joy today. Thank you for sharing your emotions with me, as I have the exact same emotions as you and everyone else on the planet. I Love You. ♥ :~)

Today I am grateful for observing my emotional state even though sometimes what I am witnessing is frustration or fear as that way I am able to understand when the people in my life feel frustrated or fearful so that I am empathic and encouraging, for being responsible for my emotions as my emotions are generated inside of me, because of the way I am perceiving my life in the moment as I could be impatient or patient in any situation the choice is mine and for being able to express my emotions in a manner that is easy to hear, inspires understanding in the listener, creates in me a feeling of being heard and creates in both the speaker and the listener a connectedness of hearts. Thank you for being here with me today. Thank you for witnessing my words and thoughts. I Love You. ♥ :~)

Taking responsibility for my thoughts, feelings and actions empowers my heart.

Affirmation, Gratitude and Self Talk

Today’s Affirmation; I, Stephanie, (insert your name here if you like) listen to my self talk today, those thoughts that come to mind throughout this day so that I embrace myself with patience. I listen to my inner voice and what it is saying so I can understand myself and the people who cross my path. The more I understand my thoughts, emotions and actions or reactions the better I am able to understand the people who cross my path. When I listen to my thoughts, feelings and actions I validate me, as I am the most important person to please, because really I am the only person I can please, as everyone else must listen to their own hearts to find out what is pleasing for them. I trust the wise sages words of wisdom I have read, that when I find the peace in my heart all is peaceful. So I go forth today with peace in my heart holding my electromagnetic vibration as my most precious possession, as that is what is creating my future with the belief that my peaceful vibe encircles the world and offers a feeling of warmth to all who are searching for connections of the heart. Thank you for connecting with me today. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I Love You. ♥ :~)

Today I am grateful for getting to celebrate my sweet man’s Birthday today Robert Cerins with music, mirth and merriment, for the nap I took yesterday and going to bed on time last night, as this morning I feel rested, relaxed and ready for this day of celebrating and for the gift certificate I received from the Community Farm Store from one of my Happiness Is Healthy pilot projects participants as a show of appreciation, because she said I am so intuitive with my personalized affirmations that the words I write her fill her with a sense of calmness which renews her commitment to love herself and her life.

Affirmation, Gratitude and Art

Today’s Affirmation; I, Stephanie, (insert your name here if you like) view my earthly journey with a sense of humour and I feel more relaxed, using humour to ease the circumstances of my life brings peace to spirit. I allow humour to fill every cell of my body trusting it is a balm for my heart. Humour fills my body with healing endorphins infusing my DNA with the building blocks of joy. I laugh easily, earnestly, and sometimes even loudly. My laugh causes the people who hear my resonate tone to smile and on occasion even join in with me. Laughter is my friend, my confident and my constant companion helping me to flow with the events of my day. I love to share laughter as when it is shared it is in its most powerful state as a connector of hearts and spirits. Thank you for connecting with me today. Thank you for sharing your humour with me. I Love You. ♥
