DailyAffirm

Today is an opportunity for clarity.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying clarity at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
"Today is an opportunity" is printed on the inside flap of the book on which these affirmations are based. When you consider that every day is an opportunity, you are right! You find what you seek. Feel Clarity in every cell of your being as this month comes to a close.

About Your Process
This is the last day of April; this is the last day for exploring clarity as a theme on DailyAffirm until next year. But, as with all the monthly themes, you will find that clarity is an important energy to tap into on a regular basis. As you reflect on your experiences this month, consider how you have changed. Many of you send email messages to tell me how these affirmations are supporting you in changing your consciousness. When you notice your own evolution, you evolve even more.

About the Next Type of Affirmations and New Theme
This is the last of the Integrating/Embodying Affirmations, and the final affirmations for Clarity. Tomorrow, DailyAffirm begins a new month and a new theme. The theme is Trust. I encourage you to develop an over-arching intention for Trust so that you can benefit more deeply from the affirmations. During the first week, we work with Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations.

Make this a yummy day!

Yes to Clarity!

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. These last days of the month we work with integrating and embodying clarity at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Yes to Clarity! Yes to Life! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! "Yes" is one of the shortest, clearest affirmations you can say to create your heart’s desire.

About Your Process
As you talk with someone, notice where the clarity is in the conversation. As you eat your meals, notice how clarity shows up in the food or on the plate or at the table. If "nonclarity" comes into your awareness, no problem, just use the nonclarity to remind you that you want clarity.

About Related Articles
Please check out our many empowering articles in different locations, including the Marshall House Articles Section, the JMviews Empowerment Blog Articles, the Voice of Jeanie Marshall Articles, and Jeanie’s articles at EzineArticles.com. Here are suggested articles that relate to today’s principles:

• "Say Goodbye to Struggle" encourages us to end the practice of glorifying struggles of life.
• "One Thought at a Time" is a short poem about a simple approach for experiencing greater happiness as a result of intentional positive thought choices.

About the Book of the Month Recommendation
This month’s recommended book speaks eloquently to the importance of living in the present moment. Greater and greater clarity comes into our lives when we practice awareness of the now. The constant now is a clear consciousness from which we can create magnificence. I recommend The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. Please read my book comments.

Make this an affirming day!

I act with purposeful awareness of clarity.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
It is easy to be aware of something, yet to be purposefully aware of clarity in the moment of an act is powerful enough to uplift your consciousness. Your awareness is a gift — to ourselves and to others. In addition to giving your purposeful awareness to clarity, also give it to your life mission and to the little situations of your life. To be aware in and of each moment is one of the primary goals of the human experience. Rejoice in the opportunity to be alive and awake.

About Your Process
Today you may find it helpful to reconnect with your over-arching intention for clarity so that the integration of this week’s affirmations is based on the intention you have chosen. Perhaps the over-arching intention feels different now from the time you first set it. If so, this might be because you have been becoming more purposefully aware each day as you have given your attention to clarity. Change your over-arching intention, if necessary, or reflect on its deeper meaning.

About the Next Type of Affirmations
This is the last of the Acting/Claiming Affirmations for this month. During the next two days, Integrating/Embodying Affirmations end the month’s focus on clarity. Today is a good day to check for a final action you might want to take to demonstrate clarity. Of course, each day forward you might want to claim and demonstrate clarity and facilitate its integration.

I let every act be an act of clarity.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
I feel the best way to learn clarity (or anything else) is through experience. Actions are one type of experience. So today — and any day that you want to know clarity — associate each action with the concept and/or energy of clarity. You can know great power in the naming of your experiences. If you decide that every act is an act of clarity, it is (even if you initially experience nonclarity). This is focus, not denial, because an experience of nonclarity is a call for clarity.

About Your Process
Here is an exercise you can play with today. In every action that you experience or observe today, see (or hear or sense or feel or imagine) clarity. Even if you are not quite sure what the clarity is, affirm that it exists in the action. If you watch a sports event, notice clarity in the activity. As you talk with someone, notice where the clarity is in the conversation. As you eat your meals, notice how clarity shows up in the food or on the plate or at the table. If "nonclarity" comes into your awareness, let that be the aspect of clarity that you are exploring.

• "Moving Through Puddles" describes the "Puddle Theory of Personal Development" which helps those seeking enlightenment to move more easily through the cycles and changes of life.

Make this a terrific day!

I draw a circle of clarity around myself
to enhance my familiarity with clarity.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Here is a poem by Edwin Markham that supports today’s affirmation:

He drew a circle that shut me out –
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

About Your Process
Let your circle of clarity expand and shrink as necessary today. When you communicate with someone on the telephone, the Internet, or in person, consider how large the circle is that encases you and the other person or persons. Also consider qualities of your circle other than size: color, sound, texture, density, vibration, depth. Envision the whole planet in this circle of clarity — sharing your gift of consciousness with all humanity.

I manifest all things in association with clarity.
I breathe clarity into my body.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
Everything in the physical plane has been manifested; that is, everything you see/touch/hear, etc. moved from the invisible to the visible. This is true of you as a human being; it is true of your computer; it is true of a song. Every thing. Every being. When you dip into the consciousness of clarity, either you create something which is clear or you use the energy of clarity to cleanse something which has already been created.

About Your Process
With today’s affirmation in mind, you might enjoy experimenting with your breath. Think of yourself as a clarity-breathing (rather than a fire-breathing) dragon or other creature. Breathe clarity into your physical body, into today’s top-priority project, into your kitchen, into your telephone calls. Let yourself experience the lightness of this process. (Oh, if you become light-headed, you are hyperventilating. Slow down. You will accomplish more by slowing down.)

I claim clarity. I claim my power.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
It is important that you not be deceived by the simplicity of today’s affirmation. Instead, accept its truth. From time to time you may have a clear vision of what to do, yet hesitate or doubt. Hesitation and doubt can be your friends when they lead you to ask meaningful questions, but not when they stop you from taking the actions you know you want to take.

About Your Process
If you struggle with claiming clarity and/or power, you might like to try this simple technique. Select an object in your home or office — anything will do: a stapler or plate or toothpick. Place or observe the object sitting on a table or desk near you. Let the object take the role of "clarity" or "power" or a specific vision or decision. (Even a toothpick ought to have an opportunity to play a role now and then. After all, you get to play roles all the time!) Then claim the object effortlessly and playfully — perhaps you seize it or lift it up with your two hands joyously or put it in your pocket secretly. Notice how you claim the object — claim your power and clarity as effortlessly.

About Other Articles
Often I mention articles posted at my Web Site that are related to the daily affirmations. Today I want to list titles that I do not mention regularly.

• "Guided Meditation for Empowered Consciousness " presents an overview to approaching meditation as a practice for greater empowerment.
• "Laughter, Play, Fun, Joy, Happiness" discusses the value of these dynamics in our lives as a reminder to laugh and play in a spirit of fun and joy.
• "New Meeting Paradigm" describes the old and new meeting paradigms and strategies for moving from the old to the new.
• "To Dance with Jim His Last Dance" is a true story about the author’s experience while enjoying a social evening, dancing to the music of a blues band with friends at a local nightclub.
• "Watch Your Language" lists common negative expressions, encouraging you to avoid their use.
• "Youthing, not Aging" challenges us to consider how our thoughts can make us feel older or younger.

Make this an excellent day!

I act with clarity in my heart.
I speak with clarity on my lips. I walk with clarity in my feet.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
I just love this affirmation because it associates the idea of clarity with the physical body. You may sometimes have high-minded thoughts that you do not carry through in your actions. Clarity can be seen in the physical world. It can also be felt and sensed and spoken and touched. To feel a vision of clarity in your heart helps you to embrace the idea. To taste a vision of clarity in the cells of your lips helps you to speak the idea. To sense a vision of clarity in the soles/souls of your feet brings the vision into manifestation.

About Your Process
A process I often use with individual clients involves energetically moving a vision (or goal or desired result) from the head/thinking area downward through the body. When a vision is integrated into your feet, it is easier to step into its manifestation. Incidentally, I take the vision even further than the feet so that it is anchored below the feet, sometimes as far down as the center of the earth. When a vision of high intention is anchored into the earth, you are supported by the energy of Mother Earth. You manifest Heaven on Earth. What is your vision of clarity?

Clarity energizes my actions.
Every breath I take clears my energy field.

Greetings! Our theme is Clarity. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming trust at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.

About Today’s Affirmation
The first Acting/Claiming affirmation this month is a slow and gentle one. It starts with something you do most of the time unconsciously: breathe! You can empower your breath, which is always with you, to bring clarity to your energy field. In addition, let clarity energize all your actions — walking, sitting, eating, talking, minor and major decision making, and everything you think and do.

About Your Process
I suggest you take a few moments to consider at least one action that you expect to take this week that requires that you be especially clear. It can be an action that is small or large, a one-time event or repeated actions, an inner-directed or outer-directed activity, a situation involving just yourself or many others. As soon as you have identified the action, remind yourself of your over-arching intention for the month. Writing all this down will enhance your process and make it easier to reflect after the event or actions.

Greetings! This message serves as an overview for the acting and claiming affirmations of this fourth week and the integrating and embodying of the last three days of the month. Read the information on the sidebars for additional information. The messages will be here for you Day by Day. Check in as often as you want; participate in the ways that are appropriate for you. If you prefer to receive the daily messages by email, please subscribe to one of our email alert lists (check the options on the navigation bar).

About Acting/Claiming Affirmations and Clarity
To act with clarity is powerful when you acknowledge divine clarity. If you believe you know who is right and wrong and who is bad and good, this is not divine clarity, but self righteousness. A clear and high intention sets the foundation for actions that are clear and rewarding. Every action you take is an opportunity for personal development and empowerment. More important, every action is an opportunity for joy and further clarity.

About your Process in the Fourth Week
Each day this week, you may want to become more conscious of each action in these ways: (1) Set an intention for the action; (2) Write down the intention; (3) Be fully present in the action; (4) Reflect on the action afterward to determine if what you manifested was in alignment with the original intention; (5) Be good to yourself while you are learning as well as after mastering this process.

About the Affirmations in the Fourth Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for clarity it would be “I let every act be an act of clarity” which is the affirmation for April 27. It associates the idea of clarity with everything that you do.

About Integrating/Embodying Affirmations and Clarity
These two days, following the four weeks of April, present an opportunity to integrate the ideas about clarity that you wish to take with you on the rest of your journey. Anything that does not fit, leave alone. If you try to take on something that you cannot assimilate, you will make the releasing work of the beginning of May more difficult. Trust yourself to know what works for you.

About your Process in the Remaining Days
You may find it helpful to identify some of the affirmations that stood out as particularly meaningful to you this month. If you have kept a journal, you will reinforce and therefore further integrate the ideas by reviewing your journal entries. Rereading selected messages for this month will assist you in embodying the concepts.

Make this a powerful week-plus!
