Four Affirmations When You’re Feeling Stuck

Full transparency: I feel static. The feeling has been brewing under the surface for the majority of the week, and today it’s come to a head. I have a very clear vision of the direction I want to go, but with vision comes obstacles I can’t get over just yet. It’s an uncomfortable feeling, knowing you have dreams you want to fulfill that feel so far away. There have been days I allowed my mind to drift off into the realm of possibilities, suddenly to find that I can feel my body physically itching to make it all reality. I know this feeling won’t be forever, but in the meantime I’ve decided I need to find ways to keep myself motivated and feeling positive about being on the trajectory that leads me towards my goals. 

As a believer in the Universe, I’ve been receiving and journaling notes from The Universe Talks for quite some time now. I find they set the tone for my day; they serve as reminders that I am where I need to be. And that’s what I need right now to move through this ‘stuck’. I decided that I needed to harness the power of these messages and use them to give myself a little more of a lift. Finally, while mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, I was struck with an idea. I’ve had a few accounts on my radar that are all about the power of positive affirmations. I’ve never been one to practice daily affirmations, but upon a bit more research I realized that they completely align with my level-up lifestyle. 

“...words have a powerful impact on your daily life. Like prayers and mantras, one sentence can have the power to change the course of your entire day.” - Eleven11 affirmations

“...affirmations became a daily ritual in our households. Stating them changed how we felt in an instant. But more than this, we both noticed that the positive effects these statements were having on us ~ feeling empowered, confident, energized, inspired, motivated, and at the same time peaceful, calm, open ~ these feelings persisted well after we were done speaking the words.” - Love Powered Co.

This was exactly what I needed to find (I’m pretty sure the Universe helped me get there). So in hopes of feeling all of the above, I’ve poured over the notes the Universe has sent me over the course of the year. I’ve pulled out the core messages that resurface again and again and turned them into the following 4 affirmations:

I am doing my best with what I know.

I learn from yesterday, because today I’m better than before. Everything flows in direct proportion to my every day preparation. The magic works through me. 

I already have whatever I’m looking for.

There is no need to look outside myself. I was born with the courage to do whatever little I can each day from wherever I am. I hold the directions.

I am naturally inclined to succeed at everything I do.

I am poised for greatness. All I have to do is begin. I act as if my dreams have already come true. I simply imagine the end result.

Following my heart is the best way to help others.

Choosing the positive makes others look to me. When I do big things, others will too. There is more than enough from everyone to have it all.

Even after simply typing them out, I feel better. These are the things I know to be true. They’ve been on repeat in my inbox for the better part of a year for more than just journaling purposes. It is my intention to use these messages that I know are imprinted on my heart to keep propelling me higher. To get me out of the static. And I hope you can find something for yourself in them too.
