Some of us use the technique of Daily Affirmations to help improve our outlook, our daily life, and in the long term, our self esteem.
Basically when you get up, go in the bathroom and look at yourself, you go through a sequence of sayings, of statements that affirm your being in a positive way....
It is hard to do this at first... often it feels silly... i have to admit i have rarely done it. At times i have, on the bust - my affirmation - not daily then, was over a mistake i had made. and i kept repeating to myself, "even good engineers make mistakes. you are a good engineer."
Some daily affirmations, very general are:
I am a beautiful person.
I am a serene being, and can center myself at will.
I am accepting of my mistakes and those of others, as part of our humanity.
These are just some examples i tossed out... any more? Any of you use this technique?
