Yes, we have come to a point on this blog where I tell you that I am good enough, I am smart enough, and doggoneit, people like me.
Okay, not really. But I do have some daily affirmations to share.
While in California my friend and I decided it would be a fun adventure to go see a physic. We wanted to learn about our past lives or hear predictions for our futures, anything that may spiritually enlighten us. So, we did what anyone else would do to find a physic in 2012...we looked them up on Yelp. This led us to Mystic Journey Bookstore.
Originally, we wanted to have our readings together, so we could help remind each other of what the physic told us later on. However, upon arrival, the woman who did Meredith's reading informed us that she had to go alone because having both our energies in the room at the same time would alter the accuracy of the reading. So she chose Kat and I ended up having a reading with Antigone (which I'm positive is her real name).
I won't go into the details of Antigone's reading because those are personal, plus I don't really put a lot of weight into her predictions. I just did it for fun. However, something she did provide me with, which I was surprised, were notes with affirmations on them that I'm supposed to keep close to me and read every single day. I have definitely kept them close, in fact, they have not left my purse since the day of the reading, however, reading them has not yet made it into my daily routine. Therefore, I've decided to post them here, a place I can see them more, and others can see and perhaps hold me accountable for remembering them when I have a bad day. Additionally, I've decided to include my interpretation of each one.
Noelle's Affirmations
1. I now receive my beloved, my Divine right partner ordained for me by God. I think this is supposed to remind me that there is in fact one person out there for me and I just need to be open to finding them and not let the bitterness I feel take over my heart.
2. My income is constantly increasing and I prosper wherever I turn. She spoke a lot about my desire for money. Which I felt was inaccurate. However, in hindsight, I'm seeing this as a reminder to manage my money and allow myself to begin to think about future events that would require me to be in a better financial place.
3. I love my life and am worthy to receive all goodness and joy forever. The interesting thing about this affirmation is that she was writing while talking and I wasn't really paying attention to the notes she was making and just listening to her. Later on in the reading I made a comment about often not thinking I'm worthy enough or good enough for certain things and she pointed out that she'd already written it down but had not said it out loud.
4. I am powerful. It is safe to be me and speak my truth. Again, this is not one she shared as she was writing, but I think speaks a lot to my lack of confidence. It's important to remind myself that I need to stick up for myself and that it's okay to share my feelings with others...they're valid and just as important as anyone elses.
5. Everywhere I go, I am loved and respected by all. She spoke a lot about how being viewed positively by others is important to me. Which is true. She said that I am the type of person who is validated by praise from others and I need to remember that people think that even if they do not always say it. Man ,this chick got me.
6. I release the desperate need for love, and instead, allow it to find me in the perfect time-space sequence. This is pretty self-explanatory. But the free, you-get-what-you-pay-for online dating site, the meeting of men who aren't looking for anything more than "some fun", my feelings of loneliness and thinking that I'm always going to be alone - all things I needed to stop doing because it was making me desperate and not really like myself too much. I've since canceled my account and feel much better about where I am in the dating realm.
There they are. Daily affirmations. Small reminders to stay true to myself. Now whether these are things she could read about me because she has powers, or if its something I clearly show through my verbal and nonverbal communication, I'm not sure. And honestly, I don't care. Whether she was the real deal or whether I just want to believe she was, I feel better after talking to her. I feel more confident in my future and am taking steps to better it. Applying for jobs I may not have applied for before, deleting the dating profile and letting love find me, being more true to myself and my thoughts. In my opinion, the 30 minutes I spent with her was worth the money because it gave me confidence. It gave me hope.
