Create and Use Your Own Positive Affirmations

By Cheryl P. Rivera


One of the latest buzzwords around the world these days is positive affirmations. Most everyone has heard it spoken in one way or another. But what exactly does it mean, and more importantly, what can it do for you? Positive affirmations, when broken down, are simply statements that you can use to reprogram your mind to view everything around you in a positive light. It is a way to make yourself more of an optimist than a pessimist. The classic example being that the glass is never half empty, it is always half full. Using positive affirmations, you can view everything in life in this optimistic manner.

It is important to keep your affirmations positive and in the present tense. If you have a negative affirmation, you will continue to live in your ordinary life. Creating a positive affirmation starts by changing the way you think. Focus on what you do want, rather then what you don't want. This may sound obvious, must it is very difficult to grasp.For example, let's say you have a problem with face acne and you want to get rid of it. You might consider saying, "I don't have any acne." You are thinking along the right lines, but your mind is hearing something completely different.

When you say the word don't, you are actually telling yourself that you do have acne. To change this thinking you must say something like, "I have flawless skin," or "I love the way my skin looks." These affirmations force your brain to focus on what your really want - clear skin.How to use these affirmations,You have just created one or two positive affirmations that fit your specific needs. Creating them is just the first step; we know must implement them into our daily routine.The best way to always remember to repeat your affirmations is to write them down on a post-it-note and keep them in places that you frequently visit. Some good places include: The refrigerator,Bathroom Mirror,Bedroom Door,Alarm Clock,Computer Desk

If you, using positive affirmations, reprogram your mind to think of your current job as a way to get to where you want to be, you will give off an attitude of greater confidence and comfort in who you are and what you are doing. People around you will start to notice that attitude, and make note of who you are. Soon, you will have people coming to you, simply because they want to be seen with someone who is so positive in life. This will lead to job offers from areas that you may have coveted but never thought you would actually get. Soon, your positive attitude alone will lead to that job that you were seeking for all those years, or perhaps one even better. All of this begins with a simple positive affirmation such as "I will reach beyond where I am today/"

Follow Up With Actions. Lastly, you will also need to put in some actions, so that you can lay the ground for their manifestation. For instance, affirming that you will win the lottery can only be possible when you buy a ticket. Remind Yourself Daily. In a hurried lifestyle with 1001 things to do, you can find it hard to remember to repeating the positive daily affirmations. Hence, put them in a visible location, like on the wall or in front of the mirror or save them in a PowerPoint slide to be used as a screensaver.

Positive affirmations can easily change your whole life. You know how they work. You change your outlook on life, and you will bring that positivity to you. That is the basic Law of Attraction. Concentrate your mind on improvements you are going to have in your life, and they will come to you. What most people don't completely grasp is that positive affirmations can help change EVERY aspect of your life, even your physical wellness. In fact, it is potentially easier to understand this fact than any other aspect of the Law of Attraction.

Almost any self help book that you read will stress the importance of positive affirmations and for good reason. The way that we think has a huge impact on what we can and can't accomplish. Therefore the first step in achieving most goals in convincing yourself that you can do it.

When you use positive affirmations, you reprogram your mind to see things in positive manner. This includes how you see yourself. When you look in the mirror, see a worthy person looking back at you and you find yourself walking with more pride, being more comfortable with who you are. This person in the mirror has a comfortable air about them, and knows that anything he wants to accomplish, he can. If he feels like going to the gym for a while, he can, thus helping to strengthen his body. The person looking back at you is also confident enough to know that she doesn't want to be dependent upon foreign toxins to feel better. She has the willpower to quit smoking or any other addictive habit. In order to see this person in the mirror, all you have to do is use positive affirmations.

Positive affirmations can do more than just help with preventative health. They can help your mind be comfortable enough to help cure your body of illnesses and diseases. You can reinforce the idea of your health becoming better, envisioning the illnesses being forced out of your body. As you see these things, you will be able to put yourself into the place that rest and chicken soup would normally put you. Because you believe that it can, your mind will help clean out the negative influences on your body, helping you to heal yourself. This is how powerful positive affirmations truly are.

In order for affirmations to work you have to use them regularly, everyday is ideal. The more you tell yourself something the more likely it is that you will come to believe it. Once you believe something it can be very hard to change your mind. This is why you have to use the positive affirmations consistently, it is very hard to change your negative beliefs. The good news however is that once you reach the point where you believe the positive thoughts it will be very difficult to change your mind.You can use positive affirmations to change almost any belief that you want. That means that for any goal that you have you will be able to find a positive affirmation that will help you achieve it. There are lots of books that you can use to find them or you can even make them up yourself. If you are going to make them up yourself you are going to have to make sure that you word them correctly so you will need to take a little bit of time to learn how to do this.
