    I would say, I can sit at a computer with ease and comfort.

    I agree with zumba, try to remove the negatives, and stay in the present.

    It's a very subtle difference!

    That's too much of focusing on situation, or body. When I first found Dr. Sarno I slowly became aware that he was right about everything. So I began to transform my life. I began to affirm things like "my body is ok....I'm fine...I'm healing..." But those were way too superficial. You need to say things like, "I deserve love...I have value...I am."

    When I spoke to the guided imagery gurus in the late 1990s they were telling me to affirm love and forgiveness. I didn't understand it back then but I see it clearly now. These types of affirmations go to the heart of the cause. The other affirmations might help some by calming the mind, but they don't address the reasons.

    Try, "I forgive myself...and I deserve love." These are the biggest sources of rage.
