One Of A Thousand Ways

Published: 7 Feb 2025 | Updated: 7 Feb 2025

Herein you'll find my entry for the February 2025 Indieweb Blog Carnival, hosted by Joe Crawford. The theme is: affirmations. If you have a site, why not also participate?

While much gets written about affirmations and their positive benefits... It's never made it passed my intense skepticism. Why should I repeat to myself things which might not be true?

I always thought they had more impact if they came from others, but depending on the outside world to receive them... It's out of your hands.

Writing and reciting your own is a way of taking back control.

Besides, isn't it akin to a gratitude list or journal?

Call it trite, overly positive, unrealistic, or strange...

At its heart, it's just one of a thousand ways of cultivating joy.
