Affirmations 101 - FAQS - What Affirmations Can I Use in a Recession?

So we are in a recession. Technically all the economic measurements are pointing in the direction of the economy shrinking rather than growing. Now what? Do we run away and hide? Do we protest the billions of tax dollars being given to the banking industry? Do we send nasty letters to our stock broker? Do we curse our employer who just handed us our layoff notice? You can do some of these things if you feel it would serve you but I would ask you to do something first.

Decide to keep living.

When I say 'decide' I really mean make the decision that you will keep on living...

Even if you are one of the ones who lost a home, a job, a bunch of money, a business or something else you worked really hard to get. Decide to keep living. So what does living look like?
Well, you wake up every morning and tell The Universe you are glad (and mean it) to be alive. You greet whomever you live with or around and sincerely wish them a great day. You look around you and regardless of what you see you determine you are going to expand and evolve and become better.

Here are some affirmations to get you started.

*I am open to new ways to view money

*I am open to new ways of creating income

*I am open to new ways of investing money

*I am open to having a new relationship with money

*I am open to forgiving myself and others for making money errors

*I am open to moving onwards with my life

*I am open to finding opportunities in every situation

*I am enough. I came to this earth equipped to thrive and flourish.

*My DNA is programmed to thrive and evolve. I give myself permission to grow, flourish and be strong.

*I am open to seeing myself as my source. I have all the power and resources I need to thrive.

*I give myself permission to show me solutions and opportunities to create money and wealth.

*I give myself permission to be my power and my source.

Try these affirmations out for the next 30 days and see how much better you feel and what interesting things start to happen in your life. Don't be surprised if you start to see things you never saw before and come across opportunities that you never knew existed.

I know for some of you this will not be easy. I have been affected by what is happening in the economy too. One source of income has totally blown out the window and my partner and I have had to retool and rework. It's alright. This type of thing had happening before. 10 years ago I received four hours notice that my high paying executive job was to be eliminated. Four hours notice our one income home was to become a no-income home. Oh yeah, our brand new house had its first mortgage payment due that day too. Three days later I found out I would have to take my employer to court to get my severance monies. A day after that my father in law went into hospital with heart issues. He had open heart surgery and had to be resuscitated three times to bring him back. I know what it looks like and feels like when chaos is all around. If your life is in chaos I would encourage you to stand back and simply observe what is happening. After that determine you will rise above the chaos and continue to evolve and thrive.

Go ahead and hide away in a small cave of you want to but sooner or later you will have to come out and do something and feel something else other than frustration, anger, self pity, hate, and madness. Today is the day to start moving forward and see the economic downturn as a situation that, in time, will eventually fade away. Whether part of you shrivels up, fades away and never comes back is really up to you.
