Hi, I’m Cake (thecakelin) and these are my affirmations, mostly collected from other places. I’m still a little meh on the wording or message of some of them, but including all of them anyways. I’ve been trying to make them more collective than individualistic, so the wording changes sometimes.

That’s related to a technique I came up with called zipline affirmations: building ziplines between affirmations (or beliefs or cognitions), so there is always a place to land. This helps affirmations feel more authentic (ie they aren’t far from your actual feelings overall or in any moment) and it gives a path from negative (or unhelpful) thoughts to positive.

There’s a lot more places where affirmations could be reversed (”I am grateful for my boundaries”, “I am grateful for your boundaries”). This helps build the same expectations and space for others as yourself, which I think a lot of affirmations miss. I bolded ones that I feel like have been particularly impactful for me. Ones in italic are affirmations I need to add to the flashcard pile.

I’ve linked a few books, it’s not an endorsement of those authors or their viewpoints.

If this helps you or you have a suggestion/feedback, all methods to contact or connect with me are in that first link (my Beacons page).
