What’s the point of an affirming meditation? Here’s the point. We all have an internal monologue that determines how we respond to external circumstances. These automatic thoughts are based on past experiences and some are negative, and some are positive. What you think matters. Thoughts become actions, attitudes and behaviors. With affirming meditations, you replace the negative script in your head with positive ones as the need arises. That is, by listening to or watching these affirmations, you have a catalogue of affirming, positive thoughts from which to draw for various situations. Here's the script.
I avoid toxic people. Each day, I endeavor to surround myself with positive people who bring good energy into my life. I choose my friends very carefully. I look for those who possess virtues like love, forgiveness and honesty. I stay far away from those who breed negativity and display traits like greed, anger and jealousy. I realize it is easy to get caught up in such negativity, so when I find myself around negative people, I politely extricate myself from the situation. When I surround myself with positive people, life is more peaceful and fulfilling. I spend more time embracing the goodness of others instead of focusing on their faults and trying to tear them down. I only speak about others when I have something good to say. Keeping the right company ensures that I stay along that path of living well with others. Today, I endeavor to live a clean, healthy life, devoid of the negativity of toxic people. I focus on the positive and leave the negative behind. Relationships are too precious for me to drag others through the mire or let them do that to me. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. How do you deal with a friend who displayed positive traits before but has now become caught up in negativity? 2. How can you tell if a new acquaintance is likely to bring positivity to your life? 3. Is there anything you can do to make your relationship with a toxic person less toxic?\n
