I am exactly the person I want to be

Recently, I read the quote of the last line in an Amanda Palmer song: 

I am exactly the person I want to be

In my usual identity crisis, I can not even fathom that meaning...it was shocking to consider. 

I pondered that there seemed to be a great divide between my self perception and what it would take for me to say that line confidently and unapologetically.  And know way of knowing how to bridge the gap when all you see is evidence of victimhood.

I thought, how much time do we need to turn that around?  Where do I begin?

The safest risk you will ever take is to invest in yourself, is what I thought.  

What am I?

A She-mana.  Prophetess, Creatrix, Inspiritress, magic dealer. So, naturally I made the cure, a list of affirmations than not-good-enough statements.

Suggested affirmations to tap to every morning to bring me closer to my goals and the woman I want to be: 

I am safe to release the stress of being me now, past, present, future

I am Shiva Rae

I am an entertaining and effective writer

I am in security

It is safe for me to write 

   

     

it is safe for me to breathe

I love breathing

I am a yogi

I am tech Yoda

I release all resistance with appreciation

I am in the right place at the right time

I am a blessing

this breath is a blessing

I am prosperous beyond belief 

I forgive myself for all of my inadequacies  

I love my body and my body loves me

I feel supported and I belong here on earth right now

I am a light worker

I am an artist and I express myself safely and gracefully

I am generous 

I embody my creative genius

I allow my creative genius to shine

I trust my support team

I receive the bounty of the universe with grace and ease

I feel loved, welcomed and included

I am safe to be on a team

I am passionately fit

I am health and wellness

I am abundant gratitude

I am worthy of resources

I align with all my true loves now

I am punkrockchoices

I am trust and trusted

I am the galactic portal - enter me

I receive help easily

I am infinite wisdom

And for good measure, ask these questions to close, inviting in that energy:

Why am I so rich?

Why am I so satisfied?

Why am I so successful?

Why do I feel so dang good?

What does your list look like? What does it sound like when you claim yours? Which ones would soothe your ailments? Imagine reading them upon waking and at bedtime, how it will imprint your psyche and nervous system.  It does not hurt to try.
