Three positive affirmations and one intention to start the day
Published September 28, 2011 | 
I Am healthy
I Am enough
I Am whole and perfect just as I am.
I Am setting an intention to go at an easy pace today and not do so much rushing around.
Try these intentions and affirmations on this morning or come up with your own. You are in control of your day. It does not have to be the other way around. If we set a positive tone at the outset of the day, we have a better chance of positive outcomes for the day. Try it!
Have a blessed day,

Five ways to be affirmed
Published July 12, 2011 | 
The definition of affirmation is “Something declared to be true; a positive statement or judgment”.
We all need to be affirmed. When we are affirmed we feel supported and the vision we have for our lives gets strengthened.
Ways to be affirmed:
1. Writing positive affirmations in the present tense with a strong declaratory voice. Really feel it. For example: “I Am Now a published writer making an excellent living”. You can add extra oomph to your positive affirming declaration by then giving thanks for it. So: “I feel so thankful that I Am Now a published writer making an excellent living. Thank you!”
2. We feel affirmed when we are encouraged by others. Choose who you spend time with. That is so important! Have in your life loving,supportive, and positive people.
3. Be a loving, supportive, and positive person yourself! Don’t fall into the trap of negativity or self pity. We get more of what we put out there.
4. Stretch out of your comfort zone and actually take action on doing some of the things you’ve always wanted to do! It is amazing how much confidence you will feel when you do something that you at first may have been hesitant or scared to do. You will then feel more courage to stretch again, and again….
5. Who are you? Who are you really. I made up some business cards about a month ago that have The Warm Milk Journal name on it, and my name with the word underneath my name, “writer”. That is who I Am. I Am a writer! I keep one of these cards on my bedside table, on my computer desk, dining room table, in my car, I use them for bookmarks, and I have a stack in my purse that I am more and more passing out to people. I am affirming myself as a writer! Powerful stuff.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
- William Arthur Ward
We are what we think. All that we are arises. With our thoughts, we make our world
– Buddha
A blessed day to you,

Considering challenges as a gift: a healing concept
Published July 5, 2011 | 
What if we took challenges and things that we perceive as an “issue” or a “problem” and reframed them in terms of being a gift instead? What would then happen?
Are there issues or challenges in your life that you can reframe and begin seeing the gifts in them rather than a problem or something to be sad or angry about?
Secondly, is there anybody in your life (including yourself) that could benefit from healing energy? For example, maybe you know someone who is under the weather or has a serious illness. Whether it is a cold or cancer, perhaps it would be helpful to think of them as healthy and well rather as sick. I don’t think sick people or poor people or anybody under distress need our pity. What they need is affirmation of their wholeness and health and prosperity.
In Peace,
Debra

Published May 10, 2011 | 
Anxiety can be caused by not asserting ourselves. Many of us are “nice” and as a result more timid than we would like to be. We give in to others’ wishes over our own and then later kick ourselves for not standing up and asserting our ideas, wishes, needs, etc. Over time anxiety and regret can take hold and this is not an optimal way to live.
Some of us may be more extroverted than others. That does not mean that we all don’t have a voice. What are some ways we can exercise and strengthen our “assertiveness muscle?”.
This morning I am going to encourage you to think about how you will assert yourself more in your daily life.
Today I have already set an intention to stand up for myself.
In my journal, I have jotted down a few ideas, such as:
1. Ask for help and support at work.
2. Express my opinions more verbally.
3. Promote myself and what I have to offer more
4. Don’t put up with bad behavior from others.
5. Believe in myself and know that the world needs to hear me.
6. I am living from a space of integrity and authenticity. What others’ think does not matter.
7. Do not ask for opinions or permission from others- simply take action.
8. Be a squeaky wheel if I need to be.
I will stop here. Your turn! In your journals, write down any ways that being timid and not taking action for yourself has affected your life. Note some ideas for you to assert yourself more.
Positive affirmations help as well. You can write things like:
I AM strong.
I AM confident.
I AM important.
The World needs to hear me.
What others think does not matter or is none of my concern.
I AM creating the life I want to live beginning now by taking action and asserting myself.
Have a blessed day,
Debra

I AM Happy Now! An affirmative journal writing exercise
Published January 24, 2011 |
In your journals, write down everything that you are. What are some great things about you and your life? Declare it! Even if it is something you feel you don’t have right now (but want it), declare it anyway, Now! Feel it. Then give thanks for it. This is a very powerful exercise and a great way to start the day- especially a Monday morning.
For example, this would be my entry this morning:
- I Am happy now! Thank you.
- I Am healthy now . Thank you
- I Am loved now. Thank you
- I Am thriving now. Thank you.
- I Am enjoying creative fulfilling work now. Thank you.
- I Am a loving and supportive partner now. Thank you.
- I Am a patient teacher and mother now. Thank you.
- I Am thankful for all my loved ones, Warm Milk Journal readers, and new friends on Twitter now. Thank you everybody!!
Have a blessed day.

Flying to greater heights
Published October 10, 2010 | 
I wish to fly above it all, to soar to a much higher level where I :
- No longer judge my partner or others
- I choose to focus on loving and serving others rather than worrying about being loved enough myself
- stop worrying about things that have not happened (and probably never will) or things that are not in my control.
- See the innocence in people I feel challenged with.
- no longer identify with my job, the amount in my bank account, or my credit score.
- know with absolute certainty that anything is possible and that I can live the life I am intended to live starting now.
