PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTING

THE NEW SELF CONVERSATIONS

SETTING UP THE INITIAL AFFIRMATIONS

Go to the listing of your major negative affirmations and statements. (For Barbara: Barbara’s Top 10 Tunes on The Site. Click on the links to go to the issues.)

Follow through from those to any related piece. (Enter the issue into the search engine to find related pieces.)

Example: Barbara’s page for “I am powerless little girl” would take you to the

general main page for “I am powerless”, a page that applies to anyone.

Copy and paste any affirmations onto a Word document.

Save the word documents in your computer files under

SelfDev/Psych/Affirmations or, if you wish under SelfDev/Psych/Issues and

then under the issue. (See Organization main page on The Site and follow

instructions under "Organizing One’s Computer Files".)

Put all of these sheets into a notebook behind a tab or into a file.

Look at the affirmations lists you compile and decide any rewording or upgrades you think would help.

You can also find other affirmations from general sections such as Self Esteem and, of course, the Affirmations Main Page for the site.

SETTING UP A REFERENCE STRUCTURE

All of these require a place to reference them. That place would be a section of your Reminders Notebook, which is being assembled over time. (Caution: Do not use this notebook for anything but the more frequently referred to items. Keep the other items in subject folders or files.)

You would set them behind a tab labeled “Affirmations” (though you can break this section into smaller sections if you wish). If there are multiple pages of different types of affirmations, you would list them on a sheet of paper in the front of the section in the order they are in the notebook; you can number them for easier reference or have them in alphabetical order if you wish.

SET UP A STRUCTURED TIME TO READ THE AFFIRMATIONS

Daily, at least, though twice a day is better, read the affirmations in the area you want to focus on or your Key Affirmations Page (you would supplement the latter by going to the key areas of affirmations, such as self worth, power, loneliness, etc., doing each area for at least a week).

Be sure to read daily your Daily Reminders Reading (Keith's), when you prepare it. Another example: Barbara’s Daily Reminders Reading page, which she is to read daily and hone over time) plus other items on your checklist, such as declarations of intention and the like (see Barbara’s Daily Checklist for ideas).
