Reflections: Another Day of Growth

What have I learned in the last few days that I did know when I started this journey? I am learning not to be persuaded by the demons of addiction. My demons are not as monstrous as hard drug or alcohol addictions--but they are addictions nonetheless. My nemesis are fear and food. When I become overwhelmed or fearful with the events that beseige my life, I find solace in eating without purpose. I don't need it to sustain my life force but it only serves to diminish my state of health.

I am now realizing that I don't need this crutch, because it is not an enabler but a disabler. I have decided to be more committed to a lifestyle change. When I want to drive a point home for my own well-being, I find affirmations. So here goes. . .

Affirmations for Health

I have the power to control my health.
~I am in control of my health and wellness.
~I have abundant energy, vitality and well-being.
~I am healthy in all aspects of my being.
~I do not fear being unhealthy because I know that I control my own body.
~I am always able to maintain my ideal weight.
~I am filled with energy to do all the daily activities in my life.
~My mind is at peace.
~I love and care for my body and it cares for me.


Amen!

  1. Pamela,

    Thank you so much for posting your affirmations. I can hear these in my head also. Sometimes when having a very hard day and even running is overwhelming, I will try to have a pep talk with myself while running. After some time, it begins to work and before you know it I am done running.
