=== Breaking Free: Activity #10 - Positive Affirmations ===
<blockquote>Make a list of positive affirmations about yourself. Write them on note cards and place them where you will see them regularly. Change the cards often so they stay fresh. When you read affirmations, close your eyes and fully embrace the meaning of the words. Observe any tendency of your mind to reject the affirmations in favor of old, deeply held beliefs. 

The following are some possible affirmations: 

• “I am lovable just as I am.” 

• “I am perfectly imperfect.” 

• “My needs are important.” 

• “I am a strong and powerful person.” 

• “I can handle it.” 

• “People love and accept me just as I am.” 

• “It is OK to be human and make mistakes.” 

• “I am the only person I have to please.”</blockquote>
