I have heard it a million times. “You know to get yourself out of a rut you should try some daily affirmations.” Daily what? Yes I know what they are, but my next question is always the same ” do they work for you?” . I never get a real answer back. “Well I guess, but I only remember to do them like once a week.” Well how does that help me?!?! That’s like going to the doctor and asking, “hey doc is this medicine going to make me better?” “Well it might, but then again I don’t really know” If my doctor gave me that response I would be out of there faster than green grass through a goose.
I digress, my point is this daily affirmation thing seems like a bit of a waste of time for me. Every book or blog I have 
read on it says I need to stand in front of my mirror with my note cards pre-filled with affirmations and say them to myself in the mirror. I can already see the look the cat and dog are going to give me for this one. “What the hell is she doing talking to that piece of glass on the wall?” ” She looked way less crazy when she was asking us what shoes she should wear.”
Maybe I just need to get past the “feeling silly” stage and actually concentrate on the words. I still have so many questions though, where do I come up with this affirmations? If I can think them up doesn’t that mean I already think them and therefore don’t need to chant them to myself in the mirror every morning? What if I have so many that I can’t get through them in the hour and half I give myself to get ready for work? Can I split them up or do they loose their effectiveness if not said daily?
I don’t know, maybe I should just do what this Jessica did and be silly about it…although she is going to have to teach me how she did that dance at the end. Left, right, right…wait you lost me.
