Anchors of Acknowledgment Build Layers of Confidence and Self-Trust
_____________________________________________
Stand up, move your arms out to the side, shoulder height, take a deep breath, release the breath with arms extended, and say;
I am amazing!
I have done some pretty cool stuff this year!
I have created many lasing memories!
I am not done yet!
I have unlimited possibilities and I intend to move forward on some of them!
I am living a life I love!
I am true to myself, my dreams and my deepest longings!
I am ready to marvel in my magnificence!
Add as many of your own affirmations as you want here.
Now, get a piece of paper, and write down 10 things that you accomplished, took action on, completed or that others acknowledged you for doing for them in 2015.
For each of those 10 things you claimed, go back and write how you felt either during or after each of those 10 things were completed.
Now, read what you did and how you felt and after each one, take a deep breath to claim and anchor each success and the experience.
It might sound like this. I cooked lunch and shared it with friend and I felt connected. Then take a deep breath and claim that moment.
Notice how you feel as you move down the list. Notice if your breathing gets deeper, if your body softens, relaxes, begins to smile or cry. Just notice any subtle shift in thought, emotion or insight as you shower yourself with acknowledgment and anchor in those experiences.
This is claiming the action and anchoring in the feeling whether you thought it was worth noting or someone else took the time to tell you it was appreciated.
When we anchor in our successes, accomplishments, actions or things we feel really good about having done or said, we build layers of confidence, self-trust and clarity about who we are and what matters to us.
It's too easy and automatic to focus on what didn't get done at the end of the day. This process is designed to shift your attention and energy in a positive direction so that you are better equipped to make choices in alignment with what you say is important to you.
Integrating a habit of claiming and anchoring at least 5 actions, tasks, accomplishments you feel good about or acknowledgments from others per day will allow your energy to flow in the direction of joy, ambition, excitement, fulfillment, self-worth, dignity, etc.
Acknowledgment is also a form of completion. Completion frees you up for what is next.
I am here to support you in asking questions, offering practices, action steps and giving feedback to move through any situation in life that is currently having you live a life on hold. |
