“When we first start working with affirmations they feel dumb. Hokey. Embarrassing. Isn’t this interesting? We can easily without embarrassment bludgeon ourselves with negative affirmations: ‘I’m not good enough/clever enough/not original enough/not young enough…’ But saying nice things about ourselves is notoriously hard to do. It feels pretty awful at first. Try these…..‘I deserve love.’ ‘I deserve fair pay.’ ‘I dserve a rewarding creative life.’ ‘I am a brilliant and successful artist.’ ‘I have rich creative talents.’ ‘I am competent and confident in my creative work’. Did your Censor perk its nasty little ears up? Censors loathe anything that sounds like real self-worth.”Julia Cameron
