A ffirmations are powerful tools for correcting our misperceptions about ourselves. We replace the negative tapes playing in our minds with nurturing, truthful ones. These new messages call our attention to the choices we make in our lives minute by minute, day by day as we feel our own feelings and allow our own experiences. It takes time to see the results of affirmations, but they are powerful in affecting change. If you feel resistence to doing affirmations because they seem untrue for you today, trust the fact that you are right where you need to be.
Affirmations simply plant seeds for new thoughts to grow.
They become new truths over the long-term. The following affirmations were adapted by Nancy C. Stewert from Melody Beattie's books Codependent No More and Beyond Codependency.

I begin by accepting who I am and where I'm at.
