thirteen affirmations coz I need 'em:

1. the universe is expanding, and I am with it. even if i do nothing to improve myself or grow today, I am bigger than I was yesterday. the growing is happening within me.
2. there are no mistakes, only decisions made with limited information - limited by not getting it, not understanding it, not wanting it. I can open myself to new information in order to make different decisions in the future.
3. my soul wants what is best for me.
4. everything is made of light and energy, which means we can see each other and connect with each other lightly and from the basis of all being one. connecting as energy keeps the flow going rather than connecting as mass which can become an obstacle, a solid rather than a fluid. I have no idea what that means, but it feels intuitively true!
5. I am not my body; I have a body.
6. I am not my feelings; I have feelings.
7. I am not my thoughts; I have thoughts.
8. I am not my soul; I have a soul. These things provide a measure of detachment so that I can look at my body, feelings, thoughts, and soul and say, "What is well with you and what may I do for you?" When I become those things, I am stuck. When I look at them, I can move.
9. now, the present moment, is the only time that exists.
10. love exists.
11. I can always do my best.
12. I can stop making assumptions.
13. I can be impeccable with my words.*
plus this bonus:
14. I can take nothing personally.
