I also have “May the force be with you” so you’re not alone on the movie quotes either.
Actually having recently fallen in love with Ted Lasso, my first affirmation is “be curious, not judgemental” from Walt Whitman. So that’s 3/5 movie/music quotes, haha.
One of my favorites and most transformative is “All of life comes to me with ease and joy.” The original version is “All of life comes to me with ease, joy and glory”, but I prefer the shorter.
And one that turned my world upside down: “I have always been good enough”.
I forgot to put it in my questionnaire, but I have become very fond of one brought to my attention by @megwell : “I can do hard things”.
I think we can read a person’s general areas of trouble in life by the affirmations they’re drawn to.
One of my favorite quotes: “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” Positive in kind of a negative way, I guess.
“I can do hard things” is one that I use a LOT.
Also: “It is your choices that show what you truly are, far more than your abilities.“ -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
One of my favorites right now is from me. “Eat the Marshmallow”. You know that experiment where they tell little kids if they don’t eat the marshmallow they will get a second one and then if they continue to wait they will continue to get more marshmallows? I f-ing hate that experiment. Eat the marshmallow! You never know what the next second of life has in store for you! Enjoy it now, while you can. Things can change in a matter of seconds, why wait to enjoy it. (also, that experiment is totally racist and classist, but that’s another story). Enjoy the pleasures you have in front of you now.
I also like, “Everyday is a battle, but whatever, I’m scrappy.” I love this because it reminds me of my scrappy dogs but also that I’m strong and smart.
I also love this one, it describes me in a nutshell: ”the premise is wacky, but you’re gonna dig it.”

There truly are a lot of things to feel positive about these days and throughout life. I also think things change and what you need, the universe sends. I like getting to know each of you a bit more from the quotes you like now.
I’m really enjoying everyone’s different positive inspirations
I have a heap of quotes and affirmations on my pinterest boards. I especially like words that encourage me to create and write, and ones that remind me to let go of feeling anxious.
I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Vincent Van Gogh
progress over perfection
All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well. - Julian of Norwich
… and lots of quotes from Rumi and various writers and artists.
I went on a Pinterest search to get the 5 I included in my question form, but I kept coming across the same ones – not sure if my search terms were off or what.
I like seeing everyone’s choices!
I’d say my top 3 this week are:
I have the power to create change.
I am thankful for today.
Choose kindness & laugh often.
I love all these affirmations! I don’t remember what I put on my Q but one that I am really appreciating is “Nothing great was ever achieved by being realistic.” - Tom Venuto. I tend to talk myself out of things, so for me this is a reminder that taking a giant faith leap is going to get you further than you’ll ever be able to get by taking small careful measured steps. And you might end up somewhere completely unexpected!
2 more days to sign up! I am really looking forward to crafting for this swap. The days are getting shorter here, I need to hold onto the sunshine in my life!

Oh, and if you were on the fence about signing up, luck you! You have until dinner time tonight to send me your Q
Also, it’s been a minute since I organized a swap and I forgot to include an option for more than one partner so if anybody wants 2 or even 3, please comment here to let me know or find your original sign up message and reply to that, don’t send a new message please they get hard to keep track of! Thank you!
