Affirmations (meaning
statements said with confidence about a perceived truth) have helped
thousands of people make significant changes in their lives. But they don't
always work for everyone. How can one person have great success using this
tool, while another sees no results at all?
Affirmations can be a
powerful tool to help you change your mood, state of mind, and manifest the
change you desire in your life. But they work best if you can first identify the
unwholesome belief that is opposing them.
Words have power and coupled with positive thinking, you are unstoppable in chasing your dreams and conquering the world,
thanks to daily affirmations.
Here
is a short positive affirmation definition:
A statement or declaration, stating
in clear words a certain goal or situation, which you wish to achieve.
Repeating the declaration or statement can inspire, motivate, and
attract opportunities and people to help you achieve your goals.
When Should You Use Affirmations?
Our brain
communicates through chemicals. Every experience in our life is creating new
chemical connections. Our brain continues to re-organize itself by forming new
neural connections throughout life, and repetition strengthens these connections.
This phenomenon is called neuroplasticity. Each time you repeat a thought, an
action or affirmation, you are reinforcing those pathways into your brain.
The best time to
begin to incorporate affirmations into your life is in any situation where you
aspire for a positive change to take place. A positive change in your life
might include times when you want to:
·
Raise your self esteem
·
Improve your confidence before
interviews, important meetings, presentations, and/or public speaking
engagements
·
Reduce your tendency to procrastinate
and finish projects you’ve started
·
Increase your productivity
·
Learn a new skill
·
Form deeper relationships with
individuals in your life or form genuine relationships with new people
Let’s repeat what affirmations are:
·
Affirmations are proclamations and announcements about what you want to
happen in your life.
·
They are declarations state in positive words, a goal that you want
to achieve, a task you want to carry out, or a situation you wish to change.
·
These phrases and declarations are a great tool for changing your
mindset and attitude, for motivation and for inspiration.

Practice affirming yourself every day
To get the
most benefit from affirmations, you’ll want to start a regular practice and
make it a habit:
- Start with 3 to 5 minutes at
least twice a day. Try saying affirmations upon waking up and
getting into bed, for example.
- Repeat each affirmation
about 10 times. Listen
to yourself saying it, focusing on the words as they leave your mouth. As
you say them, believe them to be true.
- Ask a trusted loved one to
help. Listening
to someone else repeat your affirmations may help reinforce your belief in
them.
- Make your routine
consistent. Try
not to skip any days. If you meditate, affirmations can be a great
addition to your daily practice.
- Be patient. It may take some time
before you notice any changes, so stick with your practice!
Is There Science Behind Them?
Science, yes. Magic, no. Positive affirmations require regular practice
if you want to make lasting, long-term changes to the ways that you think and
feel. The good news is that the practice and popularity of positive
affirmations are based on widely accepted and well-established psychological
theory.
Shift your mind to state of optimism, become happier, gain
self-confidence, and practice positive affirmations.
