Affirmations for the Inner Child

by Rokelle Lerner

Book Overview

All of us need positive affirmation throughout our lives. As children, these powerful messages helped us to know that we were worthwhile, that it was all right to want food and to be touched, and that our very existence was a precious gift. The messages that we received from our parents helped us to form decisions that determined the course of our lives.
If we were raised with consistent, nurturing parents, we conclude that life is meaningful...

Daily useful book

this is a kind of book that everybody who needs a help to start the day with good feelings and strong faith, I enjoy to read it every day.

Filled with HOPE!!!

I believe this little daily meditation book was designed to be read by the calendar date indicated on each page. If you are looking for some sense of direction this book is an absolute MUST. Even if you read it by just letting the book open to any page, you will find that there's something going on in your life TODAY that the daily reading will address. These are ideas on which to focus as you go through your day with simple ways to shift your perception of the events in your life. This is a way to sense and enjoy freedom each and every day. Remember that though you may have forgotten times in your life, the child that lives within you has memory of everything and you now have the opportunity to re-train your child into a serene, responsible, joy-filled adult. Take 5 minutes to give you a wonderful gift first thing every morning when you awaken.

Affirmation For the Inner Child

I read this book in 1991 and many times since.It is a precious book that I hate to lend to anyone else for fear I might not get it back but really really want other people to get to know it.These Afirmations are done with a calendar date on each page and that is how I used them the first time through now I use the index in the back of the book to choose the topic I need a particular day. The little stories let me feel safe and right and ok with where I am.They teach me different ways of looking at myself so I can put down the baseball bat that I use to beat myself with. They help me make sense of my thinking which without this book seemed to be the thoughts of a crazy woman. Long after the hoopla of the Inner Child revolution stuff has past this book stands out as one of if not the most meaningful book I have read. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Rokelle Lerner.

Not just for people in recovery

I have given this book to many of my friends, including many of them that are not in any formal recovery program. They have all told me that these readings help them in a variety of ways. I own many daily reading books and this in the one I carry in the car. This is truely a book for healing the inner child in all of us.

This Book is a Soothing Recovery Tool of Mine.

I do have other affirmation books, but I think this applies to any type of recovery. It is not easy to build a good self-esteem when one already suffers from low self-esteem. Often I feel that I don't deserve a relaxed life, but this book encourages me to have fun in life instead of putting myself into a misery. This book has been a good guide to a better life for me. Also, I like the size of this book. This pocket sized book is always with me.
