In order to experience something new, we need to become familiar with the thoughts and feelings in our minds and guide them to be consistent with the life we want to live. When we shift our thoughts and self-talk, our approach to life changes. Everything and everyone around us will be touched by that shift, and we will have the opportunity for a new experience as a result.

Use these weekly Affirmations and Tips to try out a new thought or approach. Let me know how it works for you. I’d love to hear from you!  

 

 

Heard 

I deserve for my feelings and needs to be heard.

I am heard when I speak of my own feelings and needs. What I have to share is significant and worth hearing. I begin by carefully identifying and validating my needs, hopes and values. Then I focus on sharing my feelings using “I statements.” As I take care in recognizing I am expressing my unique truth respectfully, I allow others the opportunity to hear me.

  

 

Tip: If you feel unheard, reflect on how you are communicating. Are you coming across in a blaming, shaming or accusing way? Make sure you are sharing about yourself rather than about what the other person is or is not doing. In this way, you create an atmosphere in which it is easier for the other person to hear you without becoming defensive.
