7 Affirmations For Mental Toughness
I’m reading the book UNFU*K Yourself by Gary John Bishop. He’s an author, speaker, and philosopher. https://garyjohnbishop.com/
In his book he has seven affirmations designed to get you out of your head and into your life. Here they are:
I am wired to winI got thisI embrace the uncertaintyI am not my thoughts; I am what I doI am relentlessI expect nothing and I accept anythingThough not a Christian, many of the principles of this book have the ring of truth. Truth is truth whether it's revealed from nature or revealed from God. But without divine revelation, truth about ourselves is incomplete. So, I’ve added to Gary’s principles where they lacked Biblical structure and depth. Here’s my revised version:
- I am called by God and willing to go
- God calls people.
Follow Me, and I will make you...I am wired and gifted by God to answer that calling- We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand. (Eph. 2:10)
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed…(1 Cor. 12)I got this by the power of the spirit- Think of your life as a train track...
You will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you (Acts. 1:8)And with great (A)power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and (B)great grace was upon them all.I embrace the uncertainty - For we walk by faith, not by sight
Hebrews 11I am not my thoughts; I am who God says I am and what I do- Ephesians chapter 1
I am relentless- I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:14)
I expect difficulty and I expect the providence to cut a path through it- Again Paul… (2 Cor. 11:22-28)
