I was in the middle of transferring my old stories to this site and that's when I realized I must have created a powerful affirmation which started my traveler identity.
Flashback to the time when my friend came back from England and was telling me I had to, HAD TO, go to England 💂 because the boys were so cute there! 😍 I swear, right at that moment, I must have made the strongest affirmation ever. "I'm going to England!" She came from a family of money, I did not. But let me tell you that didn't stop me from getting what I want! The next year, I was in that British-American Exchange flying to England! ✈️
Technically, I had been traveling before that. I used to go to Florida in the summers to see my grandparents and escape the dreaded home life I had. That started when I was eight. So at eight years old I was flying on planes by myself. I grew up in a family that always said we didn't have money yet THIS eight year old made shit happen! 💪
So back to the England story, I worked my butt off at jobs to make the money to go. I took matters into my own hands and made things go right instead of crying on my bed, screaming that we were too poor for me to travel the world. 🌏
In college, a friend of mine scored a trip to the Bahamas where we went for Spring Break. We drove down to Florida, Spent time in Miami, hopped on a cruise to the Bahamas and then stopped off in Orlando to see my family. Like I said, somehow I always ended up traveling. 🌴
Affirmations are statements considered to be true. That's the simple definition. It has grown to also include self-affirmation such as "I am confident" or positive affirmations (used to manifest the future) and is quite popular belief today amongst humanity. I think more and more people are realizing that our thoughts contribute to the outcome our lives.
I know I have practiced them over and over and my life is proof that it works for me. However, I don't push that reality on someone else. One must figure out what's true for them.
Do you say or write affirmations? If so, which ones?
