Affirmations

What is an affirmation anyway? According to Wikipedia, an affirmation is the practice of positive thinking - fostering "a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything." For me however it is the life source that cures (coining a phrase from Louise L Hay) our “severe emotional malnutrition.”
Each day must of us “feed and water” ourselves as if we too are part of an outside source rather a wonderful person in whom is loved, and lovable. The pattern to criticize ourselves and the life in which we have created has become a habit as natural as breathing.
But what if, just for fun, we discovered that by starting with an affirmation everyday we could begin seeing a difference in the way you viewed yourself? What if, just for fun, we discovered self love and in doing so discovered so much more?
I ask you than to try these affirmations everyday for one month, to look yourself in the mirror each morning and repeat the affirmation (s) below.
It is okay if start off thinking it is hokey, it is okay if your start off not believing a word; what I would be interested in is what happens along the way. What happened at day 10? Day 20? What about at day 30?
