Affirmations as Power
As an adult, you have control, you have power over those people, what they said to you, and what they did to you. Affirmations give you the power to change your feelings about yourself in a very direct way. Your Father, Mother or someone you trusted said or did something to give you the message, "you are not worthy of love," and you believed them, internalized that belief, felt and continue to feel unworthy of love, but now you say "I am worthy of love," and you will feel worthy of love. Someone said or did something to give the message "your are not valuable" and you believed them and internalized that belief and felt you were not valuable, but now you say "I am valuable," and you will feel valuable. It is contradicting the negative messages that you received and affirming the positive. It is that simple. Why? Because you have practiced thinking and feeling in a certain way. You can decide to practice thinking and feeling in a new way. As an adult, you control your own thoughts and your feelings come from your thoughts. By changing your thoughts you will change your feelings.
