Affirmations are the start of a journey. If you don’t already have a muscle of self-affirming inner talk, affirmations may begin to build and strengthen it.
For some, it’s as far as you will go. And it may be enough.
For those who are willing, ready, you can lay aside the affirmations, the mirror talk, and acknowledge the shadow creating a need for them.
You can bring that darkness into the light.
For you, concealing truth will not work.
Your affirmations will feel like a fine layer of mesh. And you know, it’s not going to hold.
Clearing the actual shadow being masked is the game changer, it’s the only necessary action, it’s where the alchemy of turning words to matter actually occurs.
Action, as they say, speaks louder than words.
