7 DAYS OF AFFIRMATIONS FOR NONVIOLENCE IN MY COMMUNICATION

Day 21, February 19:

Today, I recognize that my words and actions directly affect others.

If you believe your words affect others, you will want to be sure your words are spoken from a place of love and you will also be interested in their reactions.  So you might ask, “What did you hear me say?” and “What do you think (or feel) about this?” more often than usual today.

We learn to practice nonviolence one step at a time, one choice at a time, one day at a time.  This is how each of us, in our own way, moves the world in the direction of peace.  This is the Season for Nonviolence.

This is a part of 64 days of affirmations commemorating the Season for Nonviolence, the span of days between the deaths of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.  These writings have been adapted from 64 Days and Ways to Practice Nonviolence by the Global New Thought Movement and Compassionate Activism for Global Healing by the Association for Global New Thought and added to by Tanya Mayer and Paul Friedman. They are grouped in 9 categories: nonviolence toward self, in close relationships, in my communication, in recreation, in my perspective of others, in daily living, in work, for mother earth and in our world.
