If you remember the TV show, Saturday Night Live, then you probably remember the segment of the show, Daily Affirmations with Stuart Smalley. Stuart was played by actor Al Franken and was best know for his affirmation “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”
The show was a hoot . . . especially for those of us that are familiar with 12 Step Programs and the use of affirmations. However, it’s portrayal of affirmations did little to perpetuate the effective use of affirmations to change your thinking.
Research shows that if you can work 
with a well-crafted affirmation for 30 consecutive days, your thinking actually begins to change. Are you willing to give it a try? Before you say “yes,” take some time to think about what is likely to change if you get rid of that one garbage thought and replace it with that one sticky affirmation . . . .What really changes for you and how will your life be different?”
If you’ve been reading my recent posts, it’s likely that you’ve been collecting the garbage (in your head) and creating your own sticky affirmation. On Thursday, I’ll show you how to put that little chunk of supportive self talk to work . . . .
