Every single thought I have and every sentence I speak is an affirmation. It is either positive or negative. Positive affirmations create positive experiences, and negative affirmations create negative experiences. My new affirmation habit is to only speak of the good I want in my life. Then, only good will come to me. I use my affirmations wisely.

Your security is not your job, or your bank account, or your investments, or your spouse or your parents. Your security is your ability to connect with the cosmic power that creates all things.

What I gave out in the form of words would return to me as experiences.

I accept myself unconditionally right now

I release the past with ease and trust in the process of life.

I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.

You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
