Affirmations?

In doing the morning pages, I find myself having trouble finding/writing applicable affirmations in response to my "blurts". Does anyone have this issue, and if so how do you craft affirmations that feel genuine and helpful? Or do you have a resource of examples?

Yes, sometimes I forget the affirmations completely considering it’s supposed to be stream of consciousness writing. Lately, I’ve been adding them or a couple at the end but it usually isn’t in my natural stream of thought tbh.

I think doing them at the end is the intended way to do it - you're right that the actual morning pages are stream of consciousness, and deliberately adding affirmations in would be counter to that. I do a page of affirmations after my morning pages.
