The Power Of Affirmations

Affirmations are statements we tell ourselves on a regular basis. Some people regularly tell themselves "I look beautiful". There are other people who tell themselves "I am fat and can't lose weight" These are examples of positive and negative affirmations.Affirmations are very powerful. They are like fire. Fire, if used properly, can be used to cook food. If you don't take care, it can hurt you. The same thing applies for affirmations too. One can use affirmations to bring about a positive difference in life. At the same time, if wrong affirmations are used, once can fill ones life with negative things that can harm. Why does an affirmation (positive or negative) work? You are already aware that an affirmation is what you tell yourself on a regular basis. Be it positive or negative. When you tell yourself something over and again, your mind will slowly accept that to be true. Once your mind accepts something to be true, the immediate fallout is that it starts converting that affirmation into a belief. The moment an affirmation is transformed into a belief, it will start impacting you. Many people use negative affirmations and reap bad results and they wonder why nothing seems to be working out properly in their life. It is your responsibility to carefully analyze what you keep telling. You need to monitor what you tell yourself.If you want to change your life for positive, the easiest and a very effective strategy is to make use of positive affirmations. Create some positive statements and tell them to yourself with positive feeling and with complete emotions. You will be surprised with the results you will be generating.Another reason why one must use affirmations is because they serve as a wonderful reminder of what you want in life. Because you are making affirmations on a regular basis, these affirmations are actually capable of steering your thoughts and even habit patterns ultimately.Positive affirmations work as a positive dose of good feeling and give you a special energy every time you make the affirmation. The negative affirmations give exactly the opposite result. They make you feel bad, drain out your energy and land you in problems every time. So be careful about what kind of affirmations you make.Let's see how affirmations will help you feel better. Lets examine a simple affirmation - "I like myself"If you keep saying "I like myself" repeatedly, your mind will get a reminder of that every time you say it. Eventually it believes that affirmation. Once an affirmation changes into belief, it starts magically impacting you. In the case of the affirmation "I like myself", when it changes into your belief, the mind will make sure to make the affirmation a reality.To make the best use of affirmations, write some short positive sentences and memorize them. Make sure that the affirmations are in present tense and never use negative words in a affirmation. For example, never ever make an affirmation like "I don't like wasting time". It doesn't work. If you want to make sure you don't waste time, the affirmation can be something like "I take care of time properly" or "I manage my time effectively" etc. Make sure the affirmations will give the results you desire. For example if you want to lose weight, you affirmation could be like "I love my body and take care of it every time" or "I love healthy food" etc. If you want to have a lot of money, then the affirmation can be "I am rich and wealthy" or something like "I am a money magnet".If you use positive affirmations daily, you will start seeing positive differences in life very soon.
