I Am Lovable And Capable: How to Change Your Life with the Ultimate Affirmation
I Am Lovable And Capable (IALAC: pronounced: eye-uh-lack)
I first learned about IALAC when I was about 17 years old on a youth retreat with a church. I thought that's nice, a handy little acronym, it makes sense, I like it, good. And I filed it away. I wasn't stunned by it's elegant yet simple truth, for my parents had instilled its meaning into more core for the last 17 years. For me, it was a nice way to learn a short-hand version of a summary of my parents' entire parenting of me: I Am Lovable And Capable. They taught me that I AM lovable and capable. And now, I had a short-hand version to refer to anytime I felt afraid or extremely challenged.
I have lived 25 years since then and have been continually amazed at how few people were taught the essence of IALAC.
Further, I continually encounter people who were taught, and who now teach themselves, and who now surround themselves with others, that teach them just the opposite.
There's lots you can do with IALAC. That's what this lens is all about.

How would your life change ...
How would your life change if you started every day saying "IALAC" to yourself before your feet touched the floor?By the time you were in the shower you would actually be able to mentally say the words "I Am Lovable And Capable" to yourself (instead of thinking of your to-do list for the day).
What if, when you were sitting at your desk, or actually doing your to-do list for the day, when you faced the day's biggest challenge, you reminded yourself that "I Am Lovable And Capable"?
What if, when you were sitting and eating dinner with your family around the table, or shuttling everyone in the family around town during the time that used to be used for family dinner hour until 21st Century America took over with all of its extra-curricular activites scheduled at that time, you reminded yourself that "I Am Lovable And Capable"?
What if, when you tucked your children in, your reminded yourself that your children are "lovable and capable"?
What if, just before you went to sleep, you smiled and thought, "I Am Lovable And Capable"?
How would your life change then?

Bedtime Blessings
If you tuck your children in bed at night, remember that the words that come from you make a huge memory in your child's mind and heart.And, the words that you hear and think just before you go to sleep create very deep memories in your mind and heart.
So, make those words - those bedtime blessings - to your children IALAC words.
You could say, "My son, you Are Lovable And Capable."
I tuck my daughter in every night with the same blessing - one that reaffirms my love for her and her specialness and her connection with the Divine - and have every night for her entire life. Even when we've gone away overnight and had family watch her, I've left her a note that said that blessing, so that her Grandmother could read it to her. By age 4, she had it memorized. Sometimes she says it along with me while she's dozing off to sleep.
What if you treated your own bedtime blessings for yourself as importantly as you do your children's?

Children's Books for Christmas Gifts for Kids

If you buy only one book for a child this year, this Christmas, this Holiday season, or this birthday, let it be one of these 2 new children's books by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Why? Find out below.
IALAC Your Essence
Every challenging situationEvery life crisis
Every problem
Every depression
Every resentment
Every source of anger
Every anxiety
Every conflict
can be whittled down to being an attack on your deepest inner beliefs about whether you are lovable or capable.
Ask any therapist, hypno-therapist, business coach or life coach - they'll all tell you that every client's specific problems have very little to do with a problem with applicable of a person's healthy positive core personal beliefs, and almost everything to do with a person's sense of wounded, broken, or lacking belief in his/her being lovable and capable.
If you believe that you are lovable and capable, then you believe that you are worthy. If you believe that you are worthy, you are less likely to commit acts of self-sabotage.
If you believe that your essence is Divine and that you are connected to the Divine, then you are more likely to believe that you are lovable and capable.
