Let your daily affirmation be a light to your day!
Affirmations are a short statement that we say to ourselves repeatedly throughout the day.
Affirmations work when we believe the statement as truth with our conscious mind. With our subconscious mind, it does not know a lie from the truth. The subconscious is a willing participate in soaking in untruths because to the subconscious mind it doesn't know any difference.
It is when we feel that the affirmation is a lie or untruth that we don't feel good when we say them. The conscious mind will let us know when we are telling it a lie.
When you say, "I only eat healthy foods." Your conscious mind says, "No, you don't you just had a burger and fries." We want to hear ourselves speak with integrity. Integrity is everything to us!
We want to know that when we have an affirmation it is a truth about our greatest self. Yes, we know that maybe we're not quite where we want to be....as the affirmation says, but we are on our way! Affirmations are meant to be a positive, wonderful bridge to our growth!
Saying, "I am a billionaire." Over and over again doesn't really make me feel empowered because I know it is not my reality. That is why when we have a daily affirmation it should empower us!
A few words that assist you in actually believing your affirmation are these precious words..."I'm in the process of.."
I'm in the process of eating healthier.
I'm in the process of being a early riser.
I'm in the process of getting all A's.
I'm in the process of wearing a size 8.
I'm in the process of stopping smoking.
I'm in the process of making the basketball team.
You get the idea!
The great thing about affirmations is that we create them first in thought....and then they transform the way our life looks!
We decide what daily affirmation we say.
We decide when we say it.
We decide how often we say the affirmation.
We decide if we want to write them or only speak them.
We decide if we want to focus on only one affirmation or more each day.
It's amazing the power the mind holds when we actually believe! Watch what happens when you believe something with all your heart.
When we were attempting to get pregnant for over 7 years my affirmation was, "I am so happy and grateful I have another baby!" Now, all the evidence said the opposite, that I wouldn't have another baby but I continued on....through 3 fertility doctors. I bought a Kokopelli necklace (which is a symbol of fertility) as a concrete reminder that when ever I touched the necklace to say my affirmation. Well, I bet you know the end of this story!If you don't, watch the video below!
