Do you do daily affirmations?

[DishLady]

Hi Guys and Gals,

In one of my jobs I've been advised to promote daily affirmations. However small they may be, hearing a positive affirmation before heading out the door helps "manifest" a better day.

As someone whose life tends to be a running blooper reel of experiences I then use to help others get through work-life road bumps, I do check in with myself... make sure I'm on track... my mantras tend to be a bit on the sarcastic side, like... "Ok, coffee, we've got this..." as I grab my keys and head out the door.

Do you use daily mantras? I'd love to hear some of the mantras you use -- sincere or sarcastic.

Yeah.

Nah.

I don't really believe in the whole daily affirmations thing and I always feel silly even thinking about saying them to myself at any point.

However, I did do a deep introspective dive using ChatGPT and asked it to give me the daily affirmations I might benefit from. I won't mention them as I do feel they expose my fears and insecurities maybe a little too accurately to share comfortably 😂

AI is getting to the point where it can easily replace psychologists/psychiatrists if trained properly.

I can relate. Although the bit we all group recite in church is cool. It's all of us talking to God and not to myself.

"AI is getting to the point where it can easily replace psychologists/psychiatrists if trained properly." as an AI enthusiast I'd strongly say it won't be ready. AI can derail and hallucinate, so if people try to use AI for therapy that can go well until it won't. there's been instances where a poorly made therapy bot encouraged someone to kill himself, if your not in a healthy mindset where you can't see that as a mistake you shouldn't use AI for therapy.

Heh, the guy should have recorded it and then beat that machine to pieces. 😂

I do believe in the spiritual , plus for the most part I have time , so its a daily ritual for me in which I focus on the crystal stones as part of the affirmation / mantra , it will generally be quite general ( if I can say it like this ) , to lead me away from the toxic and towards the opportunity , to bring vast sums of money into my life and to help me distribute and share amongst those who really need it , to give me clear spiritual vision and clear thinking , to bring to me all that I deserve , to make be better person to others , to make all my associations positive , and to bring lifes spirit and energy to my soul.

I was originally introduced to this by a very successful Asian business guy , and I've followed the mantra ever since , I will mix the stones at random in the light , so that their material vision and focus gives me clear direction.

I don’t maybe I should. But ok, coffee, we got this I absolutely love lol

I've used many affirmations in the past.. one that immediately springs to mind although not my own, but fits, is this.


“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light , not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves. Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous , talented and fabulous?
Actually who are you not to be?”


From the poem “ I dream of this “ by Marianne Williamson

No, my soul hates the idea. Do I do encouraging words to myself yes sometimes, but affirmations as I sometimes see it from spiritual people trigger to many red flags in my brain. If I say something to myself to "manifest it happening" such as stating something that hasn't had a sign of happening as if it were true it flags it as delusional in my mind, so I can't do it since I don't allow myself to deceive myself.

Back when SNL was still a great show.

This is what quality comedy is about. You're not allowed to do it anymore since they banned free speech.

[DishLady]

Sigh...

[Staximus]

My daily affirmations happen every time my alarm goes off to wake up at 10pm and go to work. They are "get the fuck up" and "the bills aren't going to pay themselves".

[DishLady]

LOL. Love it.

[NathanDavis]

"screw mosquitoes..."

[DishLady]

Lol.

[NathanDavis]

what can I say... I don't like those suckers

[Spencer10]

I resolve every day to commit at least one act of kindness.

[DishLady]

Aww… love it!

[MicahRaine]

It's been a long time since I've done daily affirmations. I'm getting back into it though :)

It's been helpful for me and has given me a lot more drive, so I think it'll help in the long-run

[OlderAndWiser]

“Okay now. I’ve got enough experience and intelligence to bluff my way through almost anything, so no reason to worry!”

[Sonorous]

Nah not really. I used to listen to stoic affirmations in the past though. Didn't really do anything so I stopped.

[exitseven]

I did not even know what a daily affirmation was until I read this question.

[Dargil]

I know what I believe and I witness when I get the opportunity. I don't Make affirmations exactly. I just slip in what I believe. I just did.

[Grond21]

I used to, then realized they don't work that well when you don't believe in them. But I shut down negative self talk

[Ironco]

I try to give pep talks to other people, but I don't do much for myself. I feed the cats and go. Lol

[robocop666]

I use hypnosis and stuff regularly but not that oddly

[strateguy632]

No but good examples

[Flower7]

I never have but it sounds like a great idea.

[Caroline005]

Yes letting each other they still exist.

[CubaPirate]

Nope 🙅
