How to Use Affirmations Effectively. Edit Article Deciding on the Content of Your AffirmationsUsing Affirmations Edited by maryann laraia, Krystle C., Amanda, Ben Rubenstein and 19 others Self-affirmations are positive statements or self-scripts that can condition the subconscious mind to help you develop a more positive perception of yourself.
Affirmations can help you to change harmful behaviors or accomplish goals, and they can also help undo the damage caused by negative scripts, those things which we repeatedly tell ourselves (or which others repeatedly tell us) that contribute to a negative self-perception.

Title – Links of Compassion By – Shelli Pitner Primary Subject – Other Secondary Subjects – Other Grade Level – K-5 Our entire school has become involved in making a paper chain, containing one link for each victim of Tuesday’s Terrorist Attack. The purpose of this is to present a tangible symbol of the number of lives lost, and a means for the students to “connect” with surviving family and friends of the victims by thinking of them as the links are glued one by one.
In addition to the construction of the chain, students have written poems, made drawings, written well wishes, thoughts for peace, etc, and attached them at different intervals. Our chain is already completely around the interior of our school, and, sadly, more links will be added as the numbers rise. The next step will be to create Origami cranes, like those created after the bombing of Hiroshima, and connect them to the chain as well. shellire@gte.net.
