Create And Use Your Own Positive Affirmations

By Marie M. Clarke


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/"

When broken down and explained in easy to understand terms, positive affirmations aren't nearly as mystical as they appear at first glance. If you really stop and think about them, you will find that they are actually a very logical force in life. In this way, you can see that all of the claims people make about positive affirmations, rather than being magical or mystical, are really believable. This will be your first step in changing your own life with positive affirmations.

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.

Accepting change has always been a difficult task for most people, since they are reluctant of letting go of the comfort that they are used to. When you choose to affirm yourself positively, you can end up either in avoidance or in reappraisal. If you find yourself resisting change due to negative feelings or fear, it is because your subconscious mind is trying to avoid the challenge of dealing with the change. You can affect the way you perceive things by having positive affirmations that you have to repeat continuously and believe. This will create a conviction for you that will slowly fight off your resistance and finally; you will ease yourself into the change you feared.

Affirmations work by redirecting your thought frequencies and patterns hence replacing your negative beliefs with positive ones. You change the way you think and the way you feel about things, and you start to see tangible results of your positive affirmations. Affirmations will work for you if you are ready to leave the past behind and embrace a new way of doing things so that you can free yourself of the negativity that has been subconsciously subjected to you.

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.

The affirmations we have are a great impact on the way we perceive things and the world in general since they affect the way we react to everyday events. For us to survive, we have to adapt to the environment. Learn to react quickly towards the events that take place around us and be able to examine everything that is around us. Most of the affirmations we can be dated back to the foundation of our lives during our early ages. It could be beliefs that we learned from our parents and the environment from which we first understood the way things work. Therefore, some of us may have negative affirmations acquired from the environment, their parents or their experiences. However, you can acquire positive affirmations through subliminal messages that are manifested in the subconscious mind without the knowledge of the conscious mind.Positive affirmations are used by the conscious mind to change any negative attitude that we might have grown up with in our subconscious mind. They are usually in the form of positive statements that you have to keep repeating and believing so that they can replace the negative attitude that you are trying to get rid of. Positive affirmations have been reported to work very well in helping people to get over their fears, achieve many goals, change one's focus towards a positive future, accept change, and many other positive outcomes.
