Affirmations

I have used affirmations for so long that I can’t remember when I first started. I believe it was in the 1980s. They have aided me in feeling powerful and in charge of my own life.  Affirmations are generally short, positive, present tense statements declaring something in or about your life experience.  They are stated as if the experience is happening in the present.  Examples are: “Today I am happy and joyous,” “I love and totally accept myself just the way I am”, “ I do work I love and am generously compensated for it,” and “I am definitely, the right person in the right place at the right time.”

The idea behind affirmations is that they cause us to be conscious of what we are saying to and about ourselves and our life experience.  For most of us, there is near constant chatter going on in our minds.  Most of the time, I dare say, the chatter is negative, derogatory, and defeatist because we’ve not aware of the power of our thoughts and words to co-create our reality.  Many times we’re not even aware (conscious) of the thoughts going on in our minds.  But, at any time, we can choose to become aware of and change any thought  and speech patterns that are not supportive of who we want to be. 

Affirmations are a great tool to help us become more conscious of our power to co-create our experience.  What we think about ourselves and say to ourselves influence our perceptions of who we are.  And our perception of who we are influences what we do, what we attract into our lives and, to a certain extent, the kinds of experiences we have.

When using and believing in affirmations, we no longer feel like victims. Instead we feel powerful and proactive. Affirmations heighten our awareness of our habitual thought patterns, help us to retrain our thought patterns, open our mind to new possibilities, and create positive energy where negative thoughts used to be.  As we continue to say affirmations with conviction we send a powerful message to our subconscious mind.

Writing and creating affirmations is a skill almost anyone can learn.  Affirmations follow a general format that we can learn and adapt to any area we want to change and enrich. 

I truly love sharing affirmations with people.  Often I work with my clients to help them create custom affirmations.  Creating these life affirming statements is fun. Depending  on your specific needs, I can teach you how to begin creating affirmations for yourself.

I’ve listed affirmations in several categories - personal growth, finance, spiritual growth -to help you get started. Use them as they are or adapt them, using words that have more personal meaning to you.  Most of all, have fun using these life changing statements.

I love hearing the great results people get from using affirmations, so please share your success stories.  I hope you enjoy my gift to you.
