Affirm Life — Affirm Love
Affirmations are another powerful tool to have in your handbag of ways to live a more positive, productive life. They set the stage for positive thinking, improved attitude and empowering beliefs. Affirmations are about putting forth conscious thought into affirming an issue that the soul desires. It is best if you speak your affirmations daily and speak them out loud. The most effective use of affirmations are best when:
- Written down
- Specific to the desired need or outcome
- Personal
- In present tense
Some ask, what is the purpose or stating affirmations out loud? To put it simply, the brain latches onto what it hears and will program it to memory. It is important to put thoughts into words. As we put thoughts into words and words into actions, our lives are enriched as are other lives. The purpose is not merely to say the affirmation but to believe them and practice them with a tender, open, loving heart so that your mind can begin receiving the new thought. Affirmations are about self-love, compassion and opening your heart to the world around you.
Example of a basic affirmation-
“Just for today may I be patient, tender, loving and kind. May I open my heart to self and other without judgment or negativity. May I see the beauty in all that surrounds me. May I consciously send love out into the world and be open to receive love that is returned”.
Namaste,
