June 24, Positive Affirmation for Joy
"I claim my joy.
I claim my power in all I do."
… Greetings! Our theme is Joy. This fourth week of the month we work with acting and claiming joy at DailyAffirm. Here are comments about today’s affirmation, suggestions for your process, and information about related articles.
About Today’s Affirmation
I use the word "claim" to suggest action, not to suggest grabbing. When you are grabbing or taking, you are not in your true power. You may look powerful to yourself or to others when you grab. You may even feel powerful, at least temporarily, when you grab. This kind of "power" is short-lived, however. It is force. When you claim joy from inside yourself, you are empowered. When you are truly empowered, you do not grab or hit or blame or ridicule or complain. These are the actions of powerlessness. The power that is True Power equals joy.
About Your Process
Here are two situations to recall: (1) Remember a time when you felt powerful because you took or grabbed something from someone else. This may be a physical thing, air time in a conversation, a job, or an idea. Now, remember just before the grabbing (be honest), how did you feel? You felt disempowered, didn’t you? Or perhaps not quite disempowered, but certainly not truly empowered. (2) Remember a time when you felt powerful from the inside. Nothing that anyone said or did could change that feeling. Perhaps eventually you lost this, but right now, remember that time of true unshakable empowerment. Of these examples, which do you prefer to claim, (1) or (2)? Either choice is perfectly valid at different times, but just consider which do you prefer to live?
