6. Only good comes to me.
5. I speak with love and am heard with love.
4. I eat food that nourishes me and makes me feel great.

I gotta tell you, dear readers, this stuff WORKS! I've never felt better in my whole entire life. Never. Better. Since I started doing this I have gone cold turkey off my meds for this, that and the other. Every time I start to panic about all I "know" can be a side-effect of such a move, I turn my thinking around and say, "I am in perfect balance and harmony in my body, mind and spirit."
** Read Lee Wolf Blum's comment below, she is TOTALLY right, and I was irresponsible in suggesting otherwise! Please, dear readers, don't go off your meds!
I feel FANTASTIC! And, look at the clock! 7:26! I just awoke from a an 8 1/2 hour SOLID sleep filled with gentle dreams!
This affirmation stuff works. Try it, you'll like it! Believing is seeing!

I need to get back on my affirmations. I got out of habit awhile back and it does make a difference. Congrats, Carrie!
sorry...I am in disagreement here Carrie :(
Going off your meds might be fine for you, but I have met waaaay too many people who must stay on their meds...ie: bi-polar and other mental illnesses. (I could write a blog on what I have seen when people who need to be medicated....aren't!)
Studies of the brain show that some people must take certain chemicals synthetically b/c they don't get them naturally. I am all for positive affirmations and Dialetical Behavior Therapy (which is what these are) BUT...I don't advise going off meds for the majority of the population. For the average "I need Prozac b/c I am moody" fine...but the others we are talking DANGER WILL ROBINSON here!
Sorry for my long comment...love your blog...love your writing...love dialectical behavior therapy...don't love advising going off meds.
thanks!

I bought myself a sign for my kitchen, it says" good things are going to happen". I believe.
Not enough to stop my Effexor, but enough to make me feel optimistic and hopeful.
I smell some Louise Hay.
I recognize those affirmations - I can hear her saying them into my ear - as she did for so many years during grad school.
Thank you for this. I'm ordering up some Louise RIGHT NOW.
xo
Happy for you :-)
I read this twice.
I agree, some folks really need meds and should never go off of them, but I don't think you were "advising" anyone by writing of your experience.
Not to be all Tom Cruise, but pharmeceuticals are super hyper WAAAAYYYYYY over prescribed. Anyone can write for them. You don't have to be a mental health specialist. You can get them in one visit at the gyn office. Anyone can get them for anything. That's not how it was supposed to be.
It's a big money maker and many people would do better to look inward and face their issues.
You go Carrie. Do what you gotta do. Medicated or not you are awesome.
Feel good.
Love.
While the caution about going off meds is valid, I'm so glad that you felt 'resourced' enough to explore going off. For people who do take them for therapeutic reasons, the whole point is that the medicine give the brain(chemistry) and mind (awareness) a new ground, a new normal, a healthy range to experience. Once embodied, with proper resources, one ideally tapers off and utilizes internal awareness to 'regulate' their state. With the body memory of a new 'ground', the work then becomes using other tools to 'return' to the stable state.
I think people aren't encouraged enough and given the skills to access that new state without medication. And that would be the overuse of meds due to lack of better therapeutic options.
Wow! I can hardly wait to see where this path takes you. You are strong and brave and amazing. Much love to you.
Carrie,
Love that you are in a place where you don't feel the need for your medication anymore. I think that is such a GREAT place to be, and I am really happy for you. BUT, be careful going off the medication cold turkey, please. I know you know this, but you really are suppose to wean off. It is just not healthy for your body. Be careful!
Beautiful affirmations Carrie, just beautiful.
XOXOXO
KISS and seize the day,love, Ann xx
