Life Issues In-Focus - Positive Affirmations
Do you want to shift the energetic patterns that hold physical symptoms, emotional disturbances and negative belief systems in place? – Then use Positive Affirmations.
Positive Affirmations are a powerful tool for a self empowered and fulfilled life. Positive Affirmations help you to transform negative belief systems into positive ones, build self-confidence and self-esteem, build your mental skills and get control over our life.
Positive Affirmations relates to statements that you make to yourself. If you observe the stream of your thoughts, you may notice that you are constantly making statements to yourself. Many of them are judgements and negative thoughts that you have learned in childhood from our parents, teachers or peers or through painful experiences.
Positive Affirmations are a unique tool to counter those negative thoughts. If you get up in the morning with the affirmation 'Another rotten day' your day will turn out quite differently than when you get up with the affirmation: 'Another exciting day for wonderful experiences!' The reality you meet outside first gets created in your mind.
Positive Affirmations directly affects your conscious and subconscious mind. You can reprogram it through using positive affirmations. Follow three basic guidelines in creating your own affirmations:
1. Base your affirmations on clear, rational assessments of facts and not on a dream world. If you are struggling with getting your basic needs met, an affirmation stating: 'I effortlessly meet my basic needs' will be much more effective than a statement: 'I am a millionaire' although people who made it to that stage usually make good use of positive Affirmations.
2. State your affirmations in the present tense so that your mind knows that what you want to achieve is already happening. Present tense means: 'I have now' instead of 'I would like to have' in some distant future
3. Use positive words in your affirmations. An affirmation saying: 'I am happy and content' will be effective while an affirmation saying: 'I will not suffer anymore' will have the opposite effect. The mind registers the word 'suffer' and neglects the 'not anymore' and will do its best to create situations of suffering.
A very effective way to come up with positive affirmations that are spot on for you is to catch your negative thoughts and create their opposites. If you think 'I will never make it', the opposite could be 'It's easy for me to achieve my goals' or 'I see mistakes as a great opportunity to find out what works for me'.
