Daily Affirmations for Forgiving and Moving On

by Tian Dayton PhD, TEP

Overview

There is a point in our lives when we seem to stand in the center of our own decision about who we are and how we want to be. It comes after enough of the past pain, resentment and grief have been spent, enough deep holes and yearnings have been filled, enough baggage from the past has been dealt with. Now that we've restored ourselves to a "good enough" status, we're ready to meet life more or less as it is happening.

At this point we need to recognize which attitudes and behavior patterns will serve us throughout the rest of our lives and which need to be let go. Can the lives we have envisioned for ourselves flourish under the weight of carried resentment from the past? What does it cost us in terms of happiness and well-being to hang on to the blame and hurt?

BELIEVING IN INNER HEALING

January 1

Today I will do my part to follow through on an inner change. When something inside of me has truly been worked through and released, I will believe in it. I have been restored to sanity. It is my ability to believe in this that will make it real in my day-to-day life. When I refuse to really accept that an inner transformation has taken place, I sabotage my own getting well--I take away the inner healing by telling myself that it is not real. I have the courage today to believe that a Higher Power is at work in my life and that I am meant to be whole and happy.

I have the courage to heal.

Work and love--these are the basics;

Waking life is a dream controlled.

--George Santayana
