We’ve all heard of affirmations. You might have even tried them in the past with varying rates of success. Telling yourself constantly that you are perfect may not do it for you. But I can assure you that it is possible to find affirmations that are meaningful for you and that will act in a powerful way to help you achieve your goals and help you live a life that is positive, powerful and fulfilling.
Our minds can only hold one thought at a time. Think how much better you will feel and be if that one thought is positive, affirming and life-enhancing.
When writing powerful affirmations:
o Use the positive when writing your affirmations. ‘I choose to eat healthy foods’ rather than ‘I have to cut down on fatty, sugary foods’.
o Attach passion to your affirmations. ‘I enjoy eating healthy foods every day,’ or ‘I delight in the health-giving foods I choose and eat every day.’
o State your affirmations in the present tense – you are feeling, thinking and doing them NOW. ‘I am joyfully embracing each new experience that comes my way.’
o Make your affirmations personal. What you want for your life is right for you. Don’t just pick random phrases out of a book. Choose statements that are meaningful to YOU and keep you focused on what you are achieving in your life.
o Make your affirmations believable and realistic. Aim for the stars while keeping your feet on the ground. Truly believe in what you affirm. Know that you can and will achieve.
o Keep your affirmations short so you can remember them easily and bring them to mind readily. Repeat them often.
Write three affirmations that are personal, positive, powerful, and have meaning for you. Let them express your strongest dreams and desires.
