Affirmations from Loving What Is

Affirmations from Loving What Is

by Byron Katie

Reality just keeps being what it is and doing what it does. When I fight it, I always lose.

I clearly understand myself and my emotions. I am a lover of what is.

I realize that all my old thoughts are untrue. I am free of thoughts that limit me and make me miserable.

I enter the dimension where I have some control - my thoughts.

Wanting reality to be different than it is is hopeless. I might as well spend the rest of my life trying to teach a cat to bark.

All the stress I feel is caused by arguing with what is. I now see things without inner resistance.

I see that everything outside of myself is a reflection of my own thinking. When I investigate my thinking I find the truth.

I am the teacher and healer I've been waiting for when I do the Work on my own thinking.

I can find no reasons to keep unhealthy thoughts. I would be more peaceful if I dropped those thoughts.

Other people are not the problem; my thinking is the problem.

Pain shows me what I need to investigate. It shows me what's blocking me from the awareness of love.

I don't have to wait for anyone to change to be happy. My happiness is my responsibility.

My family and friends are my greatest teachers; they allow me to see myself as I am and to change.

I cause my own problems, but only 100% of them.

I look inside myself to find peace.

The world is what it is - nothing more, nothing less. I am no longer concerned with what should be, only the way it is right now.

Without my story, I am able to act clearly and fearlessly. I can be a friend, a listener.

I know that there is nothing to know and that I already have everything I need, right here now.

I do the Work on thoughts that persistently disturb me and come to peace.

Everything is a mirror image of my own thinking. In discovering the innocence of the person I judged, I come to recognize my own innocence.

I make amend to myself by making amends to others.

Happiness is a clear mind. I have a clear and sane mind and know how to live, how to work and what to create.

I always have enough.

When I can unconditionally love the person who bugs me, my Work is done.

Without my uninvestigated story, I am free.

I never get more than I can handle. There is always just one thing to do - what I need to do unfolds before me.

I don't let go of my concepts - I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.

Stress tells me that I have lost the awareness that I am free. I can investigate my thinking about that.

My body doesn't think, care or have any problems. It tries to keep itself balanced and healed. It is efficient, intelligent, kind and resourceful.

Bodies come to pass, not to stay. There is only the mind to heal if I want peace.

I am 100% forgiveness.

My present pain about past events is self-inflicted in this moment. I forgive myself for the pain I have inflicted on myself.

I release my attachment to my deeply imbedded beliefs of what I think is true. I release my investment in my story and end my suffering.

When I accept reality, I can act in the kindest, most appropriate and more effective way.

What I want is what I already have.
