DailyAffirm

Greetings! In this message, I’ll give you an overview of the next seven days of the DailyAffirm Process. The sidebars provide you with additional information. Read the messages Day by Day, or simply check in when the spirit moves you. If you prefer to receive the daily messages or alters by email, please subscribe to one of our email alert lists (check the options on the navigation bar).

Remind yourself of your over-arching intention for joy. Your statement serves as an umbrella over the whole month’s exploration of joy. It is especially helpful to re-visit your over-arching intention as you work and play with this week’s Being and Intending Affirmations.

About Being/Intending Affirmations and Joy
"To be" and "to intend" are companion ideas, associated also with mission and purpose. It is from your being and your intending that you create and act. Next week, DailyAffirm focuses on doing, acting, claiming, and manifesting. This week, though, stay focused on the consciousness from which you act. Many people choose to go on spiritual retreats or vision quests or to engage in dream journaling or other kinds of inward exploration in order to understand more fully who they are or who they want to become. I advocate that you choose to (under)stand right where are.

About your Process in the Third Week
So, here’s the big question of the week: what is your life mission? If your immediate response is your job or career or role, my next question is: what is your life mission? Or I might vary the question and ask: What is your purpose for being on the planet? Or, who are you here to be? You are here in the context of a larger whole. You are here to do, certainly. But, who ARE you? Who are YOU? What is your higher purpose? If you are uncertain, let yourself accept the uncertainty. And return to the questions, who are you? What is your life mission? (Please note: answers to such questions need not be the same each time. As you keep asking yourself these questions, you will become more and more comfortable with a grand variety and richness of answers.) So, who are you? What is your life mission?

About the Affirmations in the Third Week
If I were to select the definitive affirmation for the week to represent being and intending for Joy it would be "I give my attention to joy so that it expands." The Universe is ever-expanding and this expansion is based on the focus of your (and our collective) attention.
