Words of Affirmations

Have you ever thought of using words of affirmation as part of your healing process from blood cancer treatment? I always heard of words of affirmation, but did not quite apply it to my life at the time yet. When I went into depression, I started finding ways to help myself. By writing words of affirmation. I specifically wrote a mix of affirmations between Bible verses and positive sayings to myself. Speaking life into myself and reminding myself of the promises of God helped me tremendously! It renewed my mind and gave me a different outlook.

I've never thought about using words of affirmation and I'm glad you found something that works for you. And you are great, by the way and your videos are inspiring. Five words? That's tough. Strong, resilient, curious, compassionate and outgoing. (On my good days!) Thanks for giving me something to think about. Susan (Blood-Cancer Team Member)

Yes, affirmations is totally a thing. I've had a few friends swear by manifestation and see such a change in their worlds when they speak it into existence. I will say the road to being optimistic about whatever the trial and tribulation staying positive and seeing the other side of the battle helps many.

This was an awesome and uplifting video, <inline-mention username="Amanda Brunson" user-id="4145474"/>. I haven't been using words of affirmation but I do completely believe that we are much bigger creators of our reality than we believe. Seeing the purpose in the pain helps so much. You've given me new things to think about here. I don't know what my 5 affirmations will be, but I'll be working on them right away. Thank you.

Beautiful video <inline-mention username="Amanda Brunson" user-id="4145474"/>! Here are my five: challenge accepted; when I know better I do better; this too shall pass; look for the blessings; gratitude above all. Let's not be mean when we talk about ourselves. Let's change the voices in our heads and make them like us instead. Ha! I may have quoted Pink here. Liking ourselves despite it all lets us bring our best selves forward. Well done 😁

I'm one that just goes with the flow. Whatever happens, keep your head up, a stiff upper lip and attack it head on. Education is everything when it comes to life's crap being throw in the fan. As my dad used to tell me as I was growing up...adapt and conquer, then move forward...one step at a time. Shane (Blood-cancer.com team member)

 <inline-mention username="Shane.Lee" user-id="3652668"/> my Uncle IKE would say something very familiar too! Went a little something like “dealt with the hand you have been dealt with.” I can’t remember everything to the exact but it went something like that

 <inline-mention username="Amanda Brunson" user-id="4145474"/> gotcha! Know the saying well. Heard that as a kid as well. Funny how you look at your relatives sideways like their weird or something as a kid and they throw quotes at you. Then you get it after your an adult and realize your repeating the same quotes to your kids..lol. Shane

The words that I say to myself are: *You got this *Tomorrow is a new day *It WILL get better *Just sit back enjoy it I think I only have 4, but they get me through the rough times. Thanks for sharing. I always love watching your videos! Ann (Blood-cancer.com Team member)
