Introduction to Positive Affirmations.
What are Positive Affirmations?
Positive affirmations are positive statements that are repeated to oneself in order to challenge and overcome negative thoughts and beliefs. They are designed to replace self-limiting beliefs with empowering and uplifting ones. Furthermore, affirmations can be about any aspect of life, such as self-esteem, relationships, career, health, or personal growth.
For example, if someone struggles with self-confidence, they can repeat affirmations like “I am confident and capable,” “I believe in myself,” or “I deserve success.” You. see by repeating these statements regularly, they can gradually shift their mindset and boost their self-esteem.
The Science Behind Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations work by influencing the subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind is responsible for storing beliefs, memories, and emotions. Therefore it acts as a filter through which we perceive and interpret the world around us.
When we repeat positive affirmations, we are essentially reprogramming our subconscious mind. In fact by consistently feeding it with positive thoughts and beliefs, we can start to change our perception of ourselves and the world. Over time, these new beliefs become ingrained in our subconscious, leading to a more positive and confident outlook on life.
Research has shown that positive affirmations can have a significant impact on our well-being. Studies have found that using affirmations can improve self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety, enhance performance, and increase overall happiness and life satisfaction.
Remember, The Universe Can Only Say Yes
What does this mean? Affirmations are anything you keep repeating to yourself. They are not just the conscious ones you say. For example, if you want to loose weight but keep saying to yourself “I’m Fat”, the Universe says, “yes you are” and provides you with all of the tools to stay fat. In the same way, if you need more money but keep saying “you are broke”, the universe says “yes you are” and keeps you broke!
It’s been hidden from us that we create what we are by our actions and thoughts. If you need to lose weight, say to yourself that you are your desired weight, believe it and the universe will say “yes you are” and provide the tools to get to your desired weight.
If your really need more money, believe you already have it. Every time you spend money, really believe you can afford it, guess what, the universe say’s “yes you can” and provides ways to get it.
I understand this sounds crazy, but it works. Wealthy people know this and you should too.
