AFFIRMATIONS Affirmations are like declarations that are made to oneself to set the positive thoughts that are needed to create effort, to overwrite negative thoughts, to make statements of good intentions. To set into the mind the objectivity needed to build up an inner strength based on optimism. One can make affirmations to others in all walks of life, making them aware of your dependability, your loyalty, your Love. Negative thoughts can lodge in the mind, resulting in certain modes of behaviour and attitude towards others, and causing a low self-esteem, doubt etc within oneself. The influences could be daily in your lives, both externally and internally, so therefore a constant pattern is always in play. If the effects of the negative can manifest itself in your physical, mental, emotional and Spiritual life, then it can also be said that the positive can also create the reverse. It is true to say that negativity impacts greatly and it is very hard to ‘lift�?oneself up when there is a constant source. However affirmations instil into the mind the thought changes as to how one deals with situations, again as best under the circumstances. You create a new mental image that you wish to bring into your reality. Visualising via meditation and relaxation techniques. Stilling and calming the mind and body to neutralize the discordant energy, pacifying the mind and subduing the body into a tranquil state. Using whatever methods or words which one finds raises the ‘I am able�?state and reduces the ‘I am unable�?condition. That strengthens the ‘I can do�?and weakens the ‘I don’t want to or cannot do�?SPAN> That tempers the fears and lifts the hopes, that enforces the Love of life for Self and others, and shrinks the cynical, bitter feelings. Making statements to oneself, sometimes daily, to break the mould and form a new way of thinking and a different outlook on life. Affirmations are strong affirmatives and confirmations that one makes to increase the benefits to your Mental, emotional, physical and Spiritual Selves and for the likewise enhancements of others. |
