You can add creativity to your journal by writing your affirmation with colors, maybe adding pictures or key words cut out from magazines, drawings of your own, clip art, or quoations that appeal to you
The first quality from my affirmation is compassion. A specific experience in my life when I demonstrated that quality was when my friends grandfather passed away. I was there for her at school, nearly everyday after school, and as much as I possibly could. He was like a father to her, and the family took it very hard. I showed compassion towards them, by being there to help cheer them up and help them move on. I was there to help her get her mind off things, and I was there for her when she was grieving and needed a shoulder to cry on. This is just one of the many times that I have been compassionate. I think that I am naturally a compassionate person. I always have been since I was young. I have a big heart and when others hurt, I hurt and I want to do anything I can to make them feel better.
The second quality from my affirmation is good-listening. A specific experience in my life when I demonstrated this was when my best friend told me her boyfriend cheated on her. It took her quite awhile to get over the pain. But I dindn't complain once. I didnt mind talking about with her everyday, and Im glad that she felt like she could come to me to let her pain out. I listened and gave her my opinion, and what I like to think is good advice. I'm always there to listen to people's problems. If they are going through something and I feel like I can help them, then I'm all for it.
The third quality from my affirmation is encouraging. A specific experience in my life when I demonstrated this was the same instance I mention before about my friend's boyfriend cheating on her. She was very sad and felt like she wouldn't be able to move on with her life, but I assured her that she would be able to. I told her there were plenty of other people out in the world that would love to date her and treat her the way she should be treated. I gave her hope, in a sense, because she was a complete mess, and who would blame her. She was hurt and sad, but I encouraged her to move on with her life and just learn from the experience. I would love to be the reason why someone gets something accomplished in their life. Just knowing that I had even a little part in their right decision would satisfy me.
