I believe that who we are or who we are being is merely the words that we have in our mind. The words or language that exists in our mind defines who we are in the world. It also guides and determines much of our behavior, what we do in the world, with others and towards ourselves. If we are to change our state of being, who we have been being, we need to change the words and language that exists in our mind. One way to do this is through the constant use of positive affirmations. Many if not all of the individuals in recovery, esp early in recovery, have very negative language or words that make up their daily existence. Positive affirmations, more specifically, the constant and repetitious use of positive affirmations will change a person’s state of being and actually make a difference in the recovery process for that person. It is recommended that individuals in recovery explore and start to utilize the technology of positive affirmations.
