Relationship Affirmations

Every time I see an opportunity to help others, I

Every time I see an opportunity to help others, I do so joyfully.

I am willing to help anyone I meet who is in need, and I do so joyfully. I consider myself fortunate to have the means to help others.

I believe that small gestures really do matter. A cathedral would be but a foundation without the blocks that give it shape. A symphony would be flat noise without the notes that compose it.

Likewise, when I act kindly or generously, I help give shape to the goodness in the world. When I assist a neighbor who’s moving furniture or when I give a cup of coffee to the homeless man on the corner, I am fully aware that I am not changing the world with my actions. And yet, I know that I am contributing to making the world a better place. After all, each gesture can have a significant impact.

I believe that giving to others not only helps the recipient, but me as well. What I send out comes back to me, ten-fold, sometimes in kind but often in a form that is different but equally valuable.

When I give generously and without expectation of fanfare, I expand my spirit and open myself up to receive much good in return.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.Do I appreciate or resent those who need my help?
2.In what ways have I been physically, emotionally, or spiritually rewarded by helping others?
3.What opportunities to help others have I passed up because I felt the gesture was too small to matter?

Family Affirmation

My family is there for me. I feel fully supported by them.

I am a strong person and I can stand on my own. I am able to support myself and I take pride in my strength and what I have accomplished in my life. I also take pride in the fact that I can, should I need it, accept help from my family.

Family is important to me and I appreciate the fact that I feel supported by my loved ones. It may be true that I can support myself, however, I welcome help when I need it.

My family supports me and is always here when I need them. They are filled with love for me because I, too, love them. I am there for my family and I am supportive of them just as they are supportive of me. We share an unspoken love toward each other that no one and nothing can tear apart.

Today I appreciate my own bravery, but I allow my family to strengthen me. I appreciate their support and I bask in the glow of their love. I also offer myself to my family because we share an unbreakable bond.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    How can I strengthen the loving bond with my family?
2.    Am I open to receiving the loving guidance from my family?
3.    How can I reciprocate the love and support that my family gives me?
