Trust for May and DailyAffirm Positive Affirmations Day by Day

Copyright 2006 Marshall House

We often get distracted by the idea that someone else is not trustworthy, or that someone else has broken a trust or confidence, or that a particular situation is not safe. We may or may not be correct in our assessment of another person or place. In my view, though, the most important question about trust is: Do you trust yourself?

Consider what it looks and feels like to trust yourself. What do you say to yourself when you trust yourself? What emotions do you feel? How does the energy flow?

You may also find it instructive to look at your relationship to non-trust. What does it feel and look like? What messages do you give yourself when you feel unsafe or betrayed or distrusting? If you are clear what it feels like to trust and what it feels like to not trust, then you can more easily find your way back to trust if you experience distrust or mistrust.

During the month of May, we explore the theme of Trust with five different types of affirmations and practice exercises on the DailyAffirm Process.

To experience this release, you might request that an angel support you in keeping your path clear of non-trust by dissolving toxicity, erasing negative images, and cutting bonds of attachment to non-truth and despair. Can you give yourself permission to let the angel of trust support you?

Receiving/Accepting Affirmations for Trust (May 8-14) The purpose of Receiving and/or Accepting Affirmations is to open to allow something to be or to become. Open to receive and accept trust into your life.

As you open to receiving and accepting this week, consider the missing pieces to the puzzle of your contract with the Universe. Is anything lacking in your life that you need to open to? What are you ready to accept into your life? If by accepting something or someone into your experiences you must release something, then return to one or more of the affirmations for May 1-7 and release, release, release to make space to receive, receive, receive.

Being/Intending Affirmations for Trust (May 15-21) The purpose of Being and/or Intending Affirmations is to ground your purpose, especially your higher purpose. To be and to intend are different, yet interrelated. Trust opens you to more trust.
