October Affirmations 2022

I have a habit of being a rigid person. I’m learning why that is in some spaces. I’m learning what parts of my life I get on guard about, what I subconsciously feel I need to protect, what is a nonnegotiable. While I can show myself understanding, I also know that I want to always maintain my belief that I’m safe. I want to always know that I don’t have to defend myself, I don’t have to be on guard. This, of course, requires that I guide and change my mind. I came across this quote:

“Very often, a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.” -A.C. Benson

If left unchecked, I can bring myself to believe that I am unsafe where I am, that where I am has to change. When really, all that’s needed is my knowing that I am safe. That I am Loved. That I am secure. All of this happens in the mind and doesn’t depend on the outside world around us. For this, I offer us all these affirmations:

I trust that I can shift my own mindset.

I guide my mind to comforting thoughts.

I am reminded that I am safe.

I am open to different perspectives.

I remain willing to learn and grow.

I am always open to changing for the better.

I release rigidity.

It takes willingness, but once we have that, we can do anything. Onward, to better thoughts. You are safe, you are Loved, you are worthy. Happy October! 💛
