Affirm Your Relationships

Because affirmations are so versatile, you can apply them to any area of your life and see improvement. This includes relationships.

Let me tell you my story.

I got divorced at the end of 1997, beginning of 1998. It left my self-image battered and broken. I didn’t believe I would ever find someone who would take on a woman with two school-aged children. It seemed hopeless.A number of months later, I entered into a relationship with a man who was loving and wonderful. But he feared commitment. He wanted a perpetual girlfriend. He also had a knack for being around mostly when the children were not. Having children, I couldn’t settle for that. It didn’t feel right.

During this time, I began affirming the right person for my life. Simply repeating to myself that I have a strong marriage to the right man. When I began doing this, I was hoping it was the man I was dating. That didn’t work out. What we think we want is not always what is right for us.

Instead, I found someone completely new. Paul and I married in 2000. Our life together has gotten better each and every year.

So, how can this apply to you?

Do you have a relationship you would like to see deepen? Would you like to bring a new relationship into your life?

Remember, it doesn’t have to be a romantic relationship. This can apply to friendships, relations with your parents, children or siblings, or even with yourself. I am using my own situation as an example.

Determine what you would like to change. Keep in mind that you cannot change another person with affirmations, only yourself or your view of that person.

Once you’ve determined what you want to change, create an affirmation that addresses this.

When you have the affirmation the way you want it, begin putting it to use.

Some of you will see more immediate results than others. Whatever you do, don’t give up.
