Positive Affirmations Can Change Your Mindset

Daily positive affirmations are a powerful tool you can use everyday to help you heal from past traumatic experiences. They keep you moving forward by unlocking your conscious and unconscious mind to achieve your goals.

This simple technique will give you confidence to push forward during uncertain times as well as keep you thinking positively when deprecating thoughts begin to consume your mind.

If you find yourself feeling sad, lonely, stuck, anxious, or living in the past, positive affirmations can help guide you to overcome your current emotional state to find inner peace.

Positive affirmations encourage the daily steps you take to reach personal success. It’s a self-love practice that gives you the motivation to continue rising above when facing life obstacles.

The Purpose of Positive Affirmations:

Affirmations allow you to connect with yourself and lead you to your goals. They support your most inner thoughts and desires to stay on your path to career and relationship success.

You can view affirmations as mental exercise for your mind like physical exercise for your body. And the reason why they are crucial to your success story is because they help you get outside of your head and connect with your heart and soul.

Think as if you are training to get in the best shape of your life. You would set time aside in your daily schedule to run. This is the same thing but you are training your mind to get mentally up to par with where you want to be in life.

Positive affirmations allow you to rewire your brain to eliminate negative thinking patterns that inhibit your growth process. Because the things you tell yourself everyday is exactly the thing you believe.

So, if you say, “I’m not worthy of love” it will be challenging to believe you can have a healthy relationship. Or perhaps you tell yourself, “I’ll never be professionally successful”, then you may stay stuck at your current job or not attract the clients you desire to work with.

The biggest purpose with affirmations is they give you the ability to focus on the present moment where you can find your higher power to attract what you want, seek happiness and joy, and create inner peace.

How To Create Positive Affirmations:

The use of daily affirmations is for the sole purpose to interrupt and finally replace negative thoughts that inhibit you from achieving your desired lifestyle. In order for these thoughts to become innate to your thinking process, you will want to implement them everyday.

On average, it takes twenty-one days to learn a new belief and to actually begin believing it as your new truth in which you operate from. As you begin reciting your new affirmation your brain will begin to rewire itself and your actions will automatically begin to follow as a reflection of your new belief.

Here are the guidelines to follow when creating your affirmations

Start with the words “I am.” This is you taking ownership of your new beliefs
Keep the affirmation in the present tense
State it with a positive tone
Keep it concise – ten words or less
Make it specific to goals/actions that are achievable and realistic
Make them for yourself, not others

Examples of Negative Affirmations:

“I will never be successful. I fail at everything”

“No one loves me something must be wrong with me”

“Life is so hard. I give up”

“I’m not good enough. I’ll never be the pretty girl”

“I’m an embarrassment to my family”

Examples of Positive Affirmations:

“I am worthy of success and work hard towards it daily”

“I am a kind person and deserve love”

“I am taking everything one day at a time and having more patience”

“I’m unique and I love my womanly curves”

“I working towards being mindful of my decisions”

At a loss of words and how to create positive affirmations?

Here is a cheat sheet of positive words you can use when creating your daily affirmations. We understand this may not feel natural at first, but the more you engage in them the more effective it becomes.

Your affirmations will need to reflect positivity towards actionable goal, as they are meant to boost your self-esteem, be self-empowering, and inspiring towards your new mindset and lifestyle.

When it comes to achieving success in life, you hold the power within you. Everyone who has reached the highest level of success holds one common belief, “I believe in me”. They know their mindset is the root of their drive, achievement, and daily healthy regimen.

How To Implement Positive Affirmations:

Every day you will want to write down 3 positive affirmations. It usually works best to do this when you wake up as it can set a positive intention for the day or midday if you need a mood booster on your lunch break.

Each affirmation needs to represent a goal you want to achieve in the near future. And we recommend you create new affirmations every day as this will expand the relationship you have with yourself. The more you believe about yourself in a positive way, the greater your will feel over time.

This is a very rewarding, yet a transformational mental exercise that leaves a lasting impression on your daily footprint as you create new perspectives into your life and achieve more goals.
