Positive Affirmations

| Most of us walk around on a daily basis with negative,
disempowering, limiting thoughts playing in our heads. We get
these thoughts from messages we receive from family, friends,
co-workers, religious institutions, and society in general, who tell us
we aren't good enough in some area of our lives. We start to
internalize these thoughts and begin to believe in them
unconsciously. This is not good for our mental, emotional,
physical or spiritual health. Most of these negative beliefs are not
true, or have only limited truthfulness. But they have been
ingrained in us throughout our lives, and without even realizing it,
they sabotage the healthy, joyful, meaningful lives we were meant to
have. I recommend the
book "You Can Heal Your Life" and the DVD by the same name, by Louise
Hay. She also has some great apps for the iPhone which allows you
to read affirmations daily on your phone or send an affirmation by
email to someone else. I have found them to be really uplifting.
Affirmations are basically positive statements we make to and about ourselves that are designed to change the negative beliefs we have about ourselves. I suggest you get a package of 3x5 cards and fill out every single one with a positive affirmation. Things such as "I am good enough just the way I am" or "I am getting stronger every day" or "I am able to love everyone unconditionally" or "My body is healthy, strong and energetic." Choose affirmations from every aspect of your life: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Then look at these cards every day. Stick them on your bathroom mirrow. Stick them on the dashboard of your car. Put them in your wallet. Anywhere you will see them. If you feel you need help getting the affirmations to "stick", try EFT (The Emotional Freedom Technique) as a method to change negative thought patterns and increase positive well-being. |
