This was a hard week, more holiday shopping, planning, cooking, partying, stressing and what not but we still had 14 responses and some great scores! Thanks for participating no matter your points! You get 1 million bonus points for taking the survey!! GO YOU!!!!
53.8% of you are in the realm of writing them, saying them and seeing changes already! Some are a little shy or are just going with the flow and that's ok too. I hope you will try this again in the future sometime!
WOW! I don't think I've seen many a pie graph come out perfectly split like this! HAHA! Makes me wanna go switch my vote and break the tie! At least 100% of you WILL or MIGHT do declarations in your future! I'll take what I can get! Lol!
Yay!! We enthusiastically await this week's challenge! No one is annoyed by people or scared by them enough to back out even before we've begun! I can't wait to see how this one goes!
What one thing did you learn about yourself while writing and saying your AFFIRMATIONS & DECLARATIONS last week?
I am still awkward about it and don't really understand the concept that well
I can make small changes in the way I spend my time to help me not do less important things so I can do more of the important things.
I am special to my Heavenly Father!
Just deciding in my declarations helped me think about what I really value. Thank you!!
I forget to say stuff out loud. I have to really be intentional about it. I have a 1000 mantras but saying does help me focus.
Be intentional about what you ask for/declare because it will come to you!!
its seems such a small thing, but is really powerful
I just felt so much positive energy that lasted for lengthy amounts of time!
They are important. It can be very hard to look in the mirror and say them to myself
I hadn’t focus on affirmations seriously and didn’t feel I had anything to give but by the end of the week I changed my time and am ready to create a vision board and be a positive supporter of Me!
I need to learn to dispel the self-doubt that can creep in and just stick to the absolute statements and declarations I make for myself, have faith and believe them.
I discovered that my vision board is full of declarations of how I want my life to look! I love that!
Oh, how I LOVE what you all had to say about this!! I hope you read each other's answers and those who are less sure can get confidence and encouragement from those who have seen it work power in their lives. It's neat to see how even in one week some of you felt it transform you in different ways... even the process of writing them helps!! KEEP IT UP!!
Will you please share a quick story to inspire the group about how someone was an ANGEL to you, or how you got to be SOMEONE'S ANGEL?
1. My two daughters offered to share their time with me to help me with a needed project.
2. I prayed about who to visit while on a trip and had a great time visiting old friends and relatives. They loved that I cared enough to visit them.
I had a friend in Oregon, who was so easy to talk with, and I felt so safe. I learned a lot fom her, and actually felt saddened when she moved after a few years. She was most certainly like an angel to me.
I have an actual angel who was once my youth leader at church. She was always looking g out for me and doing cute funny things for me. Once I was driving home later at night as a teenager (1:00 AM) and kind of upset about…I don’t remember what now. While driving I was shocked to see her sitting out in front of her house on the curb facing the street. Apparently she and her husband had just had a spat. I stopped the car and she got in. We drive around for a while and talked about our problems. Well. I think it was mostly me that talked about my problems! But that’s always been a special night for me. I knew god sent her to be my angel and she said I was sent to be her angel. The story even gets better from there!! Ask me if you want more!!
Once when I had a broken ankle and 3 children under 3 I was having a really difficult morning crawling around trying to take care of my newborn and my toddlers and I finally just broke down a cried. Within a few minutes a sister in my ward who I only knew a little bit showed up at my door and said that Heavenly Father had told her to come right then. I knew my Heavenly Parents were aware of me and loved me. Ever since then I really want to be like my friend that could hear a call to help so precisely and follow it. That’s a gift. She took my kids to the park and kept them all afternoon.
I got to be an angel to a doggy- get him back to his owner!
A few months ago I wrote a thank you card to a teenager who had been in my young women’s group at church. She and her mom had dropped some flowers off for my birthday. I had written saying how touching the unexpected gift was and that it meant so much to me.
I learned afterward that the teenager had basically locked herself in her room for 4 days - blocking her family out and not taking her medications. Her mom told me when the card was delivered she slipped it under the door of her daughter’s room and not too long after her daughter unlocked her door to her room with a completely different attitude and countenance. The mom said the card was an answer to her prayers as she did not know what more to do for her daughter. It is amazing to me how god can answer others prayers without us even being aware of what impact the things we do might have in the moment. It is so cool.
My daughter was an angel to me when she could see I was stressed and over worked and offered to pick up our exchange student from an event. She had already worked a long day but was willing to do that and I don’t think I realized how tired I was or how much that meant until she did it!
This past move has been a rough one and a bit lonely. There’s one lady that goes to church with me that has gone out of her way to say hello and be kind. I tried stepped out of my comfort zone from shying away from activities because my social anxiety has been so high and decided to just ask if she was attending. She immediately decided to go recognizing I really needed someone I could feel safe with in an uncomfortable situation and I was so comforted that she made the extra effort on my behalf and I survived the evening. 😉
A few years ago, after my divorce, before my second marriage, I was living alone in south Gilbert and one day I was feeling particularly gloomy. I just felt terrible and I couldn't shake it. I decided to get out my scriptures and really dive into some verses. I said a prayer and asked God if He could see me and if he still loved me... and then I started reading. Right then my doorbell rang! What I found was a huge pile of lovely things, all with an ALOHA theme! A cute flowery make-up bag, candles, a huge lavendar fluffy blanket, treats, a picture frame with a cute Aloha picture in it! There was a note that said that she heard me say once that I wanted to run away to Hawaii, but that she hoped I would stay here and just enjoy these Hawaiian things and know that I was loved and everything would be ok! That she had wanted to run away once and was glad she stayed. Later on I figured out who did it! She barely knew me but wanted me to know I wasn't alone! It was sooo sweet! I'll never forget how I felt when I opened my front door!
Thanks for sharing your stories, everyone!! There are more to come! I hope you all feel inspired and excited about this week and can share some of the love and positive energy we have been building for 12 weeks! Let's SPREAD THE LOVE!!
