During last nights meditation class, we touched lightly on ‘Affirmations’, & how we can use them as a tool to create positive thought patterns, this powerful method can motivate and even re-program our minds in accepting our thoughts as true & attract those events, situations or outcomes into our lives!!
So, today I’d like to inspire you to bring a daily affirmation practice into your life to help you improve your outlook on life, plus help re-model your inner voice. Wouldn’t you LOVE to be able to invite positive energy, a happy inner voice & more peace into all areas of your life? OF COURSE WE DO!! Lets begin then, & start to manifest and attract positivity into our lives!!
OK, well lets start with the word “AFFIRMATION”, you may be surprised just how old the word is, it is from a latin word stemming from affirmare first recorded in 1535-1545 (Yep! that’s pretty old!), & today the word “affirmation” is translated from that. We know that it means to assert that something is true or exists, & when something is affirmed by a statement or proposition, we declare it to be true. So, what we tell ourselves can manifest into being – WOW! THAT’S PRETTY POWERFUL ACTION!
In our day to day lives, most of us have an inner voice that chats away in our minds. This inner voice is directly linked to our sense of self & our outlook on life, & it’s quite common for many of us to be negative, critical & judgmental on ourselves. This then manifests into being unhappy, anxious & negative, not only about ourselves but our world around us too, our thoughts literally manifest into our reality!
So, how do we create affirmations? Well, my number 1 tip is the three “P’s”, which stand for:
POSITIVE – PERSONAL – PRESENT
POSITIVE – goes without saying, it has to be positive…
PERSONAL – it’s all about you, nobody else, only you…
PRESENT – keep your affirmation about this exact moment, right now…
…and the easiest way to get started is simply with “I AM” & then if you like, add another word like enough, amazing, beautiful, healthy, abundant, loved…jot it on sticky-notes and pop them in places to remind you. In my home we use my mother’s over-sized brandy-vase and it works a treat because it lives on our dining table for us all to notice. Even draw them on the fogged mirror in your bathroom, or stick a note on your work-space, the places are endless to leave your little affirmations.
All of us, Men, Women & even Children can use this technique to open us to receive blessings from the Universe & it all starts in your mind, c’mon – start today & manifest positive thoughts & things in your life!
Love always, Sharon x
