Affirmations for my mind.

We are going to be experiencing and affirming our relationship to the mind,

By becoming more intimate with the mind.

The mind,

In this context,

Is a stream of information,

Also known as thoughts.

This ongoing stream that we can either invest energy in,

Or step back from and be the witness to allow thoughts,

The space,

To come and go.

I am a spiritual being,

Having a human experience.

Hello mind,

You've been here all my life,

Thank you.

My mind has helped create who I am today,

And it can bring moments of meaningful connection for me.

The old Asian proverb,

The mind is a wonderful servant,

But a terrible master,

Is making more and more sense to me.

Dear mind,

You are unhelpful sometimes,

When I let you use me,

To be a master of me.

You are,

However,

So helpful,

Especially when I put you to use,

To be a servant for me.

The helpful thoughts that you have given me,

That have nurtured me,

Nurtured those around me.

I am grateful for you,

Dear mind,

For giving me thoughts that are a reference point for me to choose from.

The choice of whether I give energy to,

Or not give energy to,

The thoughts that come into my mind.

I am grateful for the opportunity to observe my thoughts,

And choose the ones that serve me.

I love the fact that you have given me this contrast between helpful thoughts,

And unhelpful thoughts.

This empowers me.

I understand you more,

Dear mind,

By noticing that the thinking patterns you give me,

Are just thinking patterns.

I choose to use these two categories of helpful,

Versus unhelpful.

Nothing more,

Nothing less,

For distinguishing between the thoughts that pop into my mind.

I choose to look at you,

Dear mind,

Through the eyes of choice and opportunity.

I am not my automatic thoughts,

Unless I choose them,

Unless I give energy to them.

I'm coming to know,

More and more,

That what I am the witness to,

I cannot be.

I am beyond the words.

I am awareness.

I am magnificent.

I am essence.

The observer,

The observer,

The observer.

I am the witness that looks out from behind my eyes,

The watcher,

The noticer.

I am the intelligence behind the words that form in the mind.

Dear mind,

You have helped me connect to people in my life that I care about.

These dear,

Sweet souls that I love.

You have helped me plan for things.

Things that have been necessary for me to organize.

Things that I have created.

Things that have been fun.

Things that have been an adventure.

Things that have helped me take care of myself and nurture my soul.

I choose to remember that I am a spiritual being,

Having a human experience.

My consciousness is evolving every single time I notice a thought,

Simply as a thought.

Today,

I choose awareness.

Today,

I choose compassion.

Today,

I choose.

Today,

I choose.

My dear,

Sweet mind,

I appreciate the contrast.

Thank you,

Thank you.
