Starting tomorrow morning, I am going to start each day by stating something positive about myself. I have a list of items that I can go over each day...and I want some feedback on this

Have you seen Legally Blonde one or two? I took the idea of the Snap Cup from there for my altar. It kept me from sinking right after the divorce. I would write an affirmation on a piece of paper, fold it up and place it in the cup. I didn't do it every day, just when something remarkable happened that gave me hope. Whenever I felt down, I re-read the affirmations and it brought back those situations, outweighing my depression or anger at the time. I don't think they were cheesy or contrived at all because they were the truth - something I needed to be reminded of in the bad times. When I stopped writing them, I had about a dozen. Some were praise, some were general positive observations and others were goals. Recently, I've come to a place of strength and have felt a need to destroy the Snap Cup papers in an effort to move forward. That release was incredibly liberating. I'll always remember the situations that prompted the affirmations, but I'm no longer anchored to the physical reminders of a painful past

I like the index card idea. It's a touch of randomness.

And that's possibly as well. It's a reasonable fear, too.

Fal has me repeat the same one over and over again anytime I look in the mirror. I have to look at myself and say what I need to say.

I kind of like the random-draw method. And don't forget to add cards to the deck whenever you come up with a new affirmation.
