According to the English American Dictionary, to “affirm” is to state that something is true. *To me means an affirmation can be a negative statement*

9-27-19 – *Someone told me that I looked tired this morning and I responded by saying, “I’m always tired”. That was very negative, not true and a negative affirmation that I often use. I will never use that statement again.

*I also said,” I hate waking up early.” Which is something I do not like doing but I dislike a little less depending on the reason. It is also very negative and a negative affirmation that I use often. I will never use that statement again.

10/2/19 – *I promised my 3 year old, on Monday, that I would let him ride his bat-mobile to the neighborhood park, on Wednesday(Today). While there I remember thinking how hot it was and when it was time to leave I also remember thinking how tired I was, how the sun was sucking all of the life out of me lol. That is very negative and not true, the sun doesn’t suck the life out of me. I will never speak or think, “I am tired” ever again… I’m pretty sure it makes me tired or more tired.

10/9/19 – LOL again today, someone said I look tired and I again responded by saying, “I’m always tired.” I knew I was not supposed to say that as soon as I said it. I will improve my posture so that I don’t look as tired and make it a point to never use that response again. From now on if someone says I look tired I will respond by saying, “Really? I feel like I have more energy than my 3 year old”. Which, on a side note, would have to be a ton of energy because that little boy is on 10 from the moment he wakes up to the moment he closes his big beautiful eyes!
