I was thinking of starting an email list of affirmations among Dopers and friends. All I’d need from anyone interested would be for you to email me an affirmation and then as I get to it (first come, first served in the queu), I’d send them out daily to everyone in the group.
So, does anyone think they might want to do this? If so, just post in this thread or email / PM me with your e-dress. Thanks guys!
I don’t know if it is or not. I’ve always heard of them surrounding support group type stuff, like AA. Here’s just one type of sample from a handout I’ve gotten…
Date: May 4th
Subject: Giving Time
Quote: “You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it’s a little thing, do something for others – something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.”
~Albert Schweitzer
Explanation: People honor us when they allow us to help them. It shows trust – trust that we will not look down upon them for being weak or needy, trust that we weill not hold them in our debt. There is no gift too small to matter – no gift that doesn’t give back to us as much as it gives to others.
Affirmation: I can do something for another person today. It doesn’t have to be a big thing. A small gesture can be all that is needed to make a difference.
Hope that helps.
