Daily Affirmations: Enthusiastic Heart

I love this affirmation from Julia Cameron, it speaks to me of who I strive to be daily, a woman with an enthusiastic heart

“I am blessed by the gift of an enthusiastic heart. I respond
to life with lively interest, with contagious joy, with ardor
and delight. My enthusiasm is a spiritual wellspring. It graces
me with energy. it fills me with passion and with the perseverance
to see that passion out. My enthusiasm is a fuel for my
endeavors. It is a fire which warms me and my friends.
I greet the world with a lover’s open heart. I do not allow
cynicism or skepticism to sour my attitudes.”

Daily Affirmations: Timing

“I bless Spirit’s timing in my life. I surrender my sense of drama
and urgency. I recognize that the slower seasons of life are necessary
to find my showier and more rapid periods of expansion. I surrender
my need for life to be filled with large and dramatic moments. I accept
small gains, small victories. Turning away from the idea that there is
some “quick fix” which will make me feel heroic and invulnerable,
I accept the fact that I am a worker among workers, a friend among
friends. In choosing not to force the pace of my life,
I embrace wisdom over velocity. “

Daily Affirmations: Love

Years ago, when I first started writing Affirmations, I had been inspired by author Julia Cameron’s three books of Affirmations that she had published. Today’s Affirmation comes from her book, Blessings, Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life:

“My heart is a chalice for love. I am well loved. I open my  heart to feel that I am loved. I allow myself to be saturated by love. I soften my heart and gently ask it to receive the love I encounter. I do not need to earn love. I do not need to work at love. I need only to allow myself to feel the love extended toward me. I need only to accept love to know that I am lovable. I choose to remember – and cherish – the ways in which I am loved. ” – Julia Cameron – Blessings, Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life

Daily Affirmation: I Am Alert

“Money is a means to an end. It is a servant and not a master. When I ask for money, I am asking for supply. It may come to me as money, but it also may come to me in other forms. I am alert to the many forms my supply may take. While I welcome and receive money as one form, I also welcome and receive supply in all forms it appears.” – Julia Cameron, Heart Steps – Prayers and Declarations for a Creative Life

Daily Affirmation: I Relinquish

“I relinquish all agendas and timelines originating in my fears. I relinquish all rationalizations and defenses grounded in my fears. I open my heart instead to the healing perspective of compassionate patience for others and myself. I allow myself the luxury of time, the dignity of right action and right timing.” – Julia Cameron, Heart Steps – Prayers and Declarations for a Creative Life.

Daily Affirmation: Life Requires Courage

“Life requires courage. All courage that I need is given me by Life itself. I am guided and supported in every step. I need only open myself to receiving support and guidance.
