Name it and claim it

One of the most powerful declarations we can make begins with "I am." "I am unemployed." "I am worried about..." "I am not very popular." Imagine what these statements are attracting: being without a job, more things to worry about, and loneliness. We are claiming the very things that we think we are trying to avoid or change. Is it any wonder that we wander through life feeling miserable? Consider creating new declarations. "I am prosperous." "I am worthy of good things happening to me." "I am open to possibilities that contribute to my happiness." If you begin to believe that you are deserving of what the Universe has to offer, then you will begin to see evidence of these beliefs manifesting for you. One of my declarations was, "I am overweight." And so I carried many more pounds than were healthy for me. When I was ready to change my self-image, the resources to do so were made available to me. That was forty pounds ago and I have kept the weight off stating, "I am healthy and look great at this weight." The interesting part of this was that it did not involve depriving myself of food. This approach of positive declarations can be used for anything that is a challenge for you. You will always be given what you need to move forward with your life. Remain open to how the Universe responds and do not attempt to control what you think the outcome should be. If you do, you may miss what the Universe sends. What are you ready to claim today with your "I am" declaration?
