Today we will be practicing listening to and repeating affirmations to enrich our lives and ease our medical symptoms and challenges.
While meditation has been a daily part of my spiritual practice for many years,
I have only recently started to practice affirmations following the birth of my daughter and then even more so since becoming diagnosed with breast cancer.
In fact,
In our family,
Affirmations have become a daily practice for us all.
Affirmations are commonly encouraged and used in symptom management for many medical challenges and studies show that patients who participate in listening to affirmations report less symptoms such as pain,
Nausea,
Drowsiness,
Depression,
And anxiety than those who do not engage in any affirmation practice at all.
So regardless of whether you are encountering a specific medical challenge at this moment,
All of us experience daily challenges in our lives that may leave us feeling physically and or emotionally depleted.
May these affirmations that my daughter helped me write bring you comfort and ease as you continue throughout your day.
Following each affirmation,
There will be a pause for you to say the affirmation aloud or in your mind.
It may also benefit you to listen to these affirmations passively when you wake up first thing in the morning or as you fall asleep at the end of your day.
