Trust for May and DailyAffirm Positive Affirmations Day by Day
Author: Jeanie Marshall

We often get distracted by the idea that someone else is
not trustworthy, or that someone else has broken a trust or
confidence, or that a particular situation is not safe. We
may or may not be correct in our assessment of another
person or place. In my view, though, the most important
question about trust is: Do you trust yourself?

Consider what it looks and feels like to trust yourself.
What do you say to yourself when you trust yourself? What
emotions do you feel? How does the energy flow?

You may also find it instructive to look at your
relationship to non-trust. What does it feel and look like?
What messages do you give yourself when you feel unsafe or
betrayed or distrusting? If you are clear what it feels
like to trust and what it feels like to not trust, then you
can more easily find your way back to trust if you
experience distrust or mistrust.

During the month of May, we explore the theme of Trust with
five different types of affirmations and practice exercises
on the DailyAffirm Process. The essence of the DailyAffirm
Process is to proceed through the month with a series of
different types of concepts, affirmations, and exercises to
explore the theme. In order to fully embrace trust, it is
helpful to acknowledge that the lack or opposite of trust
also exists. The key is to differentiate and choose.

Releasing/Cleansing Affirmations for Trust (May 1-7) The
purpose of Releasing and/or Cleansing Affirmations is to
let go of unwanted and unneeded stuff. In May, these
affirmations support you in clearing away non-trust and
releasing resistance and contradictions to trust.

Old, outdated vows may be the most potent source of
non-trust issues in your life. To experience this release,
you might request that an angel support you in keeping your
path clear of non-trust by dissolving toxicity, erasing
negative images, and cutting bonds of attachment to
non-truth and despair. Can you give yourself permission to
let the angel of trust support you?

Receiving/Accepting Affirmations for Trust (May 8-14) The
purpose of Receiving and/or Accepting Affirmations is to
open to allow something to be or to become. Open to receive
and accept trust into your life.

As you open to receiving and accepting this week, consider
the missing pieces to the puzzle of your contract with the
Universe. Is anything lacking in your life that you need to
open to? What are you ready to accept into your life? If by
accepting something or someone into your experiences you
must release something, then return to one or more of the
affirmations for May 1-7 and release, release, release to
make space to receive, receive, receive.

Being/Intending Affirmations for Trust (May 15-21) The
purpose of Being and/or Intending Affirmations is to ground
your purpose, especially your higher purpose. To be and to
intend are different, yet interrelated. Trust opens you to
more trust.

As a successful person, you most likely use many methods to
enhance your productivity and/or efficiency. A popular and
valuable tool is the "to-do" list -- you probably have one
or even several! This week as you write your "to-do" list,
be certain to also prepare a "to-be" list with such items
as:

Remember to trust

Trust myself

Remember who I am

Trust my magnificence

Acting/Claiming Affirmations for Trust (May 22-28) The
purpose of Acting and/or Claiming Affirmations is to bring
something into manifestation or to direct the energy of
your intention to a desired manifestation. Allow all your
actions to be associated with trust. Then, move through the
week energized by the movement of non-trust to trust,
distrust to trust, broken trust to trust, and so on.

Your power is in your attention. Give your attention to
trust. Align with your intention. Ponder the power of One.
Feel the energy of inspiration. Act.

Integrating/Embodying Affirmations for Trust (May 29-31)
The purpose of Integrating and/or Embodying Affirmations is
to allow the energy and meaning of the affirmations to
merge with your consciousness. It is important to
understand that it is a continuous process to allow trust
to integrate into various aspects of your life. Do it, and
then do it again and again and again.

To embody the ideas of trust that you touched on through
the month, review the previous four weekly exercises and
identify any significant learning that stands out for you.
Collect insights to remind you later in times of trust and
non-trust.
