Did you know that you can positively change your life by using daily affirmations? Many people know that they would like to see positive changes in their life, but do not know what to do in order to bring about those changes. Affirmations are one of the simplest and most powerful ways to bring about change.
Norman Vincent Peale's famous book "The Power Of Positive Thinking" uses some of the most famous affirmations that people know. But one of his most famous affirmations is "I can do all things through Jesus Christ our savior who strengthens me...". The fact that it's quoted from Philippians 4:13 gives away more about what the essence of an affirmation is and where they come from. It shows that some of the most fundamental positive statements we use are derived from ancient texts and thoughts.
But, surely, the point is that someone who uses this affirmation on a daily basis will find some relevance in it? They are likely to be someone who follows a western religious doctrine and takes comfort from the Bible. You would be unlikely to find someone of an eastern faith using this particular form of words as a source of strength.I recently visited Nepal and had the privilege of seeing many Buddhist followers repeatedly chanting the mantra "Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum" as they walked trance-like around the Boudhanath in Kathmandu.
Imagine a small child that is constantly teased or verbally abused. Her schoolmates are continually making fun of her and telling her she's ugly and stupid. Or worse yet, it could even be her own parents verbally abusing her. She hears these taunts for so long, that she eventually becomes to believe them and these messages stay with her even when she becomes an adult. It's these negative thoughts that can cause her to wind up in a dead-end job or marry a deadbeat husband.
Two things are noteworthy. Firstly, these phrases are short and have a context of relevance to the participant. Secondly, they are repeated in such a way and with such regularity that their incantation becomes an almost mindless (and I mean that in the most positive way!) act. It's not so much the content of the words that matters so much as their emotional relevance and their sound.Find some time to repeat some positive statements that have meaning to you each day and see how your mood changes.Make it relevant,Make it short,Repeat it regularly for a set amount of time each day,Make it automatic.
Positive affirmations are not a magic bullet for a successful and happy life. But they can help influence your thought process and have a meaningful impact on your behavior.What are your thoughts on positive daily affirmations? Are you trying to achieve complete happiness in your life like everyone is these days, but are not succeeding? Then you need to understand how you can use daily affirmations to achieve the happiness in your life that you are aiming for.
Many people don't realize how easy it is to change your life for the better. All that is needed is to change your way of thinking so that only positive thoughts run through your mind daily and no negative thoughts intrude.It is not easy to change the way your mind thinks and it will take time and repeated use of positive affirmations to make it happen, but once you do change the way you think, you will be amazed at how much of a positive impact it will have on you and the happiness you will find in your life from now on.
Another one-word tip for positive daily affirmations is emotions. Pour your emotions into your affirmations so that they become more than just a statement. It is hard to really focus on something that is nothing more than just words. In order to get the most out of your affirmations, you should visualize what your statement represents. Pour as much emotion as you can into them, so that it is easier to know what you should be feeling when you achieve your goals. This will make your statements become something real and almost tangible as opposed to nothing more than empty words. Your positive daily affirmations should then become almost a part of you.
While repetition and emotions are important for your positive daily affirmations, the most important, yet hardest to achieve point to remember is belief. You must truly believe what your affirmations say in order for them to come true. Remember always that this is a tried and tested method that works for people every day, so the same is true for you. If you don't believe that your affirmations are true, then they never will be. The Law of Attraction works both ways. If you don't truly believe that good things are coming your way, then they won't. This is the reason it is so important for you to really believe in your positive daily affirmations.
When used in the correct manner, positive daily affirmations are the best way to put the Law of Attraction to work for you. You are programming your subconscious mind to see and believe that all of your energies should be focused on the positive. This will in turn attract the positive back to you. Your positive daily affirmations are your key to achieving your goals in life.
