Affirmations
Words to say until they become you.
We become what we think about. These are the lines the siddur, Tanach and the Sages give us to say, word for word. Say one out loud, keep the ones that speak to you, and come back to them through the day.

Prayers of the Sages368 / 1070
רַבִּי זֵירָא בָּתַר דִּמְסַיֵּים צְלוֹתֵיהּ אָמַר הָכִי: ״יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, שֶׁלֹּא נֶחֱטָא וְלֹא נֵבוֹשׁ וְלֹא נִכָּלֵם מֵאֲבוֹתֵינוּ״.
R. Zera used to add at the conclusion of his prayer : May it be Thy will, O Lord our God, that we sin not ; neither may we be put to shame nor be confounded before our fathers.
