It is wonderful to start the day with positive affirmations.
I believe that our words have power and that by saying things out loud we make it possible for things to happen. For that reason, I try to hard keep negative comments from coming out of my mouth. When they do slip out, I try to immediately utter positive words to cancel them out. (I guess all that algebra was good for something). I have spent a great deal of time teaching each of my children to start each day with positive affirmations. This is what I taught them to say (substituting their own names of course), “My name is Janeane Davis and I love me. God loves me and I am special.”
People often ask me where I got the daily themes for my blog articles:
Magnificent Monday
Terrific Tuesday
Wonderful Wednesday
Thrilling Thursday
Fantastic Friday
Sensational Saturday
Serene Sunday
The answer is quite simple. I made up the names because I wanted to have not just good days, but great days. So I started the name game and stuck with it. When I wake up on Monday, I know I have to find something magnificent to celebrate. The name of the day itself is a positive affirmation that I now am obligated to live out that affirmation.
Perhaps you are a person who does not believe that words have power, or that positive affirmations make a difference, try the following experiment. Wake up tomorrow and before you get out of bed, and once an hour throughout the day say the following, “Today sucks. I am a person who no one likes. Nothing is going to go my way today.” Then on Friday, before you get out of bed, and once an hour throughout the day say the following, ” Today is going to be Fantastic Friday. I am a great person. People want to be around me. Everything is going to turn out great today.” Then on Saturday morning, get up and look at each day to see which day turned out better. I am confident that your Friday will be better than your Thursday.

Take a look in a book- there are affirmations everywhere!
There are books everywhere full of positive affirmations for every religion, occupation, and point of view. If you cannot find a book or an internet link, check out social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest are full of affirmations. If you are adventurous, make your own affirmations. Write them down on a calendar or notebook. If you are a technology nut like I am, do what I do. Each day when I see an affirmation that I like, I add it to the calendar program on my electronic devices and set it to repeat each year. This way, I never run out of positive affirmations.
Starting your day with a positive affirmation is a way to help your day turn out to be better and more positive. So, the question for you this wonderful day is what affirmation are you going to start your day with tomorrow?
