Are Your Affirmations Positive? How to Do Them Right

Making daily affirmations positive is a sneaky art, but once you get the simple "twist" that makes your affirmation list become positive, you're well on your way to success. This article gives you tips for creating phrases that really are in line with what you desire, as well as gives examples and encourages a well-rounded approach to practicing your list of affirmations.

WHAT IS AN AFFIRMATION? Let's take just a second to make sure that we are all on the same page when it comes to writing positive affirmations. The goal, of course, is to learn how to write affirmations that work. Before you begin writing positive affirmations, though, you've got to be completely sure of what you want to "affirm" to yourself since that is at the core of your daily affirmations or positive phrases that you are using to "program new thoughts into your mind." So, what is an affirmation? It's a positive phrase that you repeat often enough to "affirm" a new idea into your mind.

WRITING POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS: The "sneaky" trick when writing positive affirmations, however, is in creating the phrases in the exact direction of what you want to "affirm" to your mind. I'll explain that one quickly...

To write affirmations that work, you want to make sure they are short affirmations and that they focus directly on the "object of your desire." However, if the "object of your desire" is to lose weight, for example, most people mistakenly write daily affirmations that focus on "losing weight." Ah hah! That's where most people make their mistake because affirmation examples that focus on "losing weight" focus on the subject of "weight."

This concept may be hard to "figure out" in the beginning, but it gets easier as you go along. Weight loss affirmations, for example, should focus on "becoming slim and beautiful" because THAT is what you want to "affirm" to yourself.

EXAMPLES: Since weight loss affirmations are so popular and so tangible, I'll give you a few short affirmations that drive my point home. Although this affirmation list may sound unusual, I think you'll see that there is more to doing weight loss affirmations than just focusing on the subject of "weight."

"I am slim and beautiful."
"My body is healthy, happy and slim."
"My metabolism works perfectly."
"I enjoy telling myself that I am beautiful."
"I see my body in perfect balance."
"Everyone around me accepts me as beautiful."
"I accept that I am beautiful just as I am now."

LIST OF AFFIRMATIONS: Creating affirmations that are positive is important by focusing on exactly what you want to "affirm" to yourself, but there is one other ingredient for success in making your affirmation list for daily affirmations work and that is to make sure you are using positive affirmations that encompass many facets of your life. This concept is just as important as making affirmations positive because you'll want to be "hitting your target" from all angles. To do this, you'll want to include positive phrases that keep you motivated, confident and energized to make the changes you want in your life.

Combining the art of making affirmations positive and making your daily affirmations encompass many parts of your life are two key ingredients for making affirmations that work.

Suzanne Glover shares a well-rounded list of affirmations which gives you more information about which facets of life should be covered in your affirmation list. She also gives more free tips and advice at effective-positive-thinking.com

Success Using Positive Affirmations

Everyone dreams of success in one way or another. Unfortunately, those who don't know the power of positive affirmations often think that success is out of their reach. With positive affirmations, however, you will find that anything is possible. Most people know the story of the little engine that could. This is a little engine that was faced with a seemingly insurmountable hill while carrying a heavy load. The engine started up the hill, repeating himself, with conviction, "I think I can, I think I can!" By using positive affirmations, the little engine was able to overcome the hill in front of him. The same holds true for any person facing any perceived obstacle in life.

Positive affirmations are the way for you to reprogram your mind into believing that anything is possible. It is easy for a person to view things in life as hard, or impossible to accomplish. If you believe that you can not do something, then you won't be able to. If, on the other hand, you tell yourself over and over again that you can achieve something, then you will find what used to be obstacles as nothing more than minor bumps in the road. Using positive affirmations will give you the confidence you need to overcome anything that might be put in your way.

How can positive affirmations help you in life? Affirmations can be compared to the lines an actor has to memorize. When actors prepare for roles, they will practice their lines as often as possible. They will repeat them to them selves any time there is a break from their regular day. When it comes time for them to perform, they have practiced their lines so often that they don't even have to think about them, they will come automatically to their mind. Positive affirmations are the same. The more that you use them, the more automatic they will become. When faced with a potential obstacle, your mind will already know that you will be able to overcome it, because that is the way you have taught you mind to think. Since you know you will overcome it, there is no longer anything blocking your forward path.

What is the best way to train your mind with positive affirmations then? Just like the actor, you will want to repeat your affirmations as often as you can. Anytime there is a break in the normal day, just take a couple of minutes to tell yourself that you can overcome and achieve anything. The best way to do this is by creating short statements that are easy to remember. It is also important to keep them positive in nature. This makes them easier to remember so you can repeat them at any given time. Make sure that you are not distracted while saying them. Riding the train or bus to work is an ideal time, since you don't have to concentrate on work or driving. Before long, as you start to get a routine, you will find yourself repeating your positive affirmations without even thinking about them. That is when you know that you are on the road to success.

Positive affirmations are the essential ingredient in a successful life. Remember that in a race, the winner will not necessarily be the person who has the best build or the best shoes on the market. The winner will be the person who, when the race is the hardest, can push through and say to them selves "I can do this!" Programming your mind to know that success is within your grasp will give you the edge in anything. Life, just like physical races are won by those who have the will to win.

Using Positive Affirmation To Get You On The Right Track In Life

Have you ever aspired for something but you do not know how to get it or acquire it? Most of us think about our dreams in life and how to achieve it. However, taking the first step towards achieving our dream is a big issue for us. This is where we need to have a positive affirmation to attain what we want in our life. Positive affirmation refers to the positive statements that you repeatedly make to yourself in order to change your way of viewing things and to bring closer whatever you want to do.

One of the basic ways to use positive affirmation is to get what you want in life. First get yourself a notebook so that you will keep track of some of the goals that you would wish to achieve. This will enable you to track your progress and keep all your ideas with you as you go throughout your day. With the notebook in place, you can put down at least two positive statements concerning the goals that you want to achieve. They should be written in such a way that you have already achieved. Then it should be stamped on and put in a place where you can easily run into often. Your positive affirmation should be written down several times each day so that they can be made more real in your mind. The more times these sentences are repeated, the more power you will have in life. This process, on the other hand, should be repeated so that you can get anything that you aspire in life.

There are things that always get into our path in getting our goal accomplished; these things are always the biggest hindrance towards attaining them. The first one is negative belief about us. Some of us always have the mental thought that they cannot do it and that it is only meant for others. This has to be eradicated since it kills all the creativity and ability in us. Another hindrance is the lack of permission from the past. The past tends to have a great impact on our positive affirmation sometimes hence making us not to accomplish some of the goals that we have in life. All these keep us stuck!

One of the key tools for any fortunate achievement is having a captivating attitude. To get this attitude, one must know what he wants because this will define how you will get what you desire. Think of something that will give you joy, peace, or fulfillment in life. Once you already know what you want, create an order or organization in your life to succeed. Discover the magnetic power of your thoughts and feelings to draw you close to your dreams. Instill and practice the winning attitude within you!

Positive Affirmation Techniques to Manifest Change

You can manifest many deep changes in your life using positive affirmations. It is simple and it is true. This article addresses how to make these positive suggestions work for you. Start with the following affirmation. Read it to yourself:

"I have the right to believe in myself, regardless of my past." Now, read it out loud three times.

Now read this one: "I believe in myself." Now, read that one out loud three times.

Did you get stuck here, ("But it's not true!")? Type "I believe in myself" on a pretty piece of paper, and follow the suggestions in the rest of this article. If you are ready to expand into different affirmations, follow the suggestions in the rest of this article. You will have fun as your life unfolds in a new a delightful way.

When you come to believe in yourself in a deep way, your life changes, and other people change around you. You also find that you create, use, and believe in affirmations on a daily basis; it becomes a habit like brushing your teeth. These short statements become more and more your reality as time goes by. Your life becomes easier, more fun, and creative the very day you begin to use affirmations. Does this sound like a good idea?

In the beginning, you want to saturate your subconscious mind with this new information to redirect how you build your life. Your past may have been rather drab, or even truly negative. To build a happier life, you will need to change the drab and negative words of your deep mind. At first your mind may only accept the new ones as a joke or with a sarcastic grin. That's the old self talking, trying to hang on. The new statements become true as you soften your shell and allow them in. Here are some ways to do this (and I learn new ones all the time):

Start with short statements that do not feel true for you at the moment, but that you wish were true. I created a list to jumpstart my life (again) in 2009. I began with little phrases I found in magazines. Here is what I started with: "I can play in the sky" "watch me soar" "develop our projects" "stretch the imagination" among others. I was pretty timid at the time. There I was: Within six months I had been widowed, undergone a big surgery on my face for cancer, was jobless, and had just put my 16 year old dog-buddy down. I was not strong, did not believe in myself, and felt utterly alone. Notice, however, that I used the word "our". In reviewing my collection of affirmations at that time I noticed that, two years later, every single affirmation had come true!

Here are some techniques to create and use affirmations on a daily basis:

· Find phrases in magazines that you wish were true for you, or that you think could be true with just a little luck and/or effort. Cut them out and paste them on an 8 ½"X11" cardboard. Use something pretty or interesting or representative of your desires (again, magazines are great) as a backing before you start pasting your affirmations onto it. We are not talking artistic perfection here- the phrases can be placed somewhat randomly, or in perfect order. Put a happy picture of yourself in the middle of this board. That way, you are happily surrounding yourself with your new thoughts. Hang this board somewhere where you will see it at least twice a day. (I use my bathroom mirror.) Read every phrase each time you look at it. You will find that different phrases jump out at you on different days. I just find that interesting.

· Create three phrases for yourself. ("I am important" "I am a loving person" "I am loved" "I trust my creative spirit" and on and on) Type them out, write them in magic markers, and tape them to your dashboard, your bathroom mirror and your fridge. Notice that I am saying "and" here-do it all. You are making up for lost time, so feel free to flood your mind with them. Every time you see one of these notes, say it out loud. Make a song of it and sing it to yourself in the shower. After about a month or more, you will not notice them all over the dashboard or the fridge. They may even sound a bit boring. This is a good thing; you are accepting them deeply within you. Time for new ones.

· Are you more high-tech? Make a screensaver out of them, or have them randomly float by on your working screen. Set up your phone for random texts of your affirmations during the day. Do you have a computer calendar? Enter your affirmations on future days. You'll sort of forget what you wrote where, so you will have new affirmations daily throughout the month.

· Get a notebook of some kind, and when you realize that one of your affirmations has come true for you, take it and put it in the notebook. Date it, and write a short description of what has become true for you in this way. When you review it later, you will be surprised by your feeling of satisfaction.

Using your personal sense of direction and your creative spirit, you can make affirmations that help you grow in steps toward that happier, lighter, more exciting life that awaits you.

Increase Focus Through Positive Affirmations

As I was driving home through the city today I was distracted by all of the commotion outside of my car. Tractor trailers were banging and clanging quickly past me. On the sidewalk, construction workers were shouting to one another, finishing up the day's work. Loud noise, such as radios and car horns, was invading my quiet space. My thoughts were scattered and I was having a hard time concentrating on one thing at a time. My mind was racing from topic to topic thinking of all the things I had to get accomplished. And then I realized; it all reminded me of a busy day at work!

I know we have all had experiences like these; getting interrupted while creating Power Point slides for an important presentation, being called to the telephone while in the midst of reading email, or getting asked to work on a task for a co-worker while trying to finish up another project for our boss. This is the nature of our work today. It is demanding and it is relentless. We need to be in a million different places all at one time. We have so much to get done each day and so much responsibility on our shoulders. Our professional roles can become distracting with their multiple facets and tasks. It can get a bit chaotic; and quite exhausting at times!

One way to decrease distraction during your day to day routine is through the use of positive affirmations. Stating positive declarations can create greater focus, increased concentration, and a sense of balance. Taking time out each day to sit quietly, breathe, and state mantras either to yourself or aloud can have a deep impact on your happiness, peace of mind, and health. When you do this you quiet the mind. You create a space that is free from disruption. And then, with practice, you can call upon this state of mind at any point during a busy work day.

Here is what you do. Make time each day, either in the morning or the evening, to quietly state each affirmation. Reflect on what its words means to you. You can also begin to add affirmations of your own as you become comfortable with the process. Take a slow and deep breath in and out through your nose between each of the affirmations. Become aware how you feel and start to notice any shifts in energy, mood, or stress levels. Also, observe how you relate to others; your co-workers, your family, your friends, or your neighbors. Here are some statements I use that can help you get started:

• I am exactly where I need to be as my journey in life reveals itself to me.

• I honor my mind, body, and soul and treat each aspect of my being with respect.

• I am a confident, knowledgeable, and successful role model as I inspire others to be the same.

• I know great joy and peace and therefore have wonderful energy.

• My speech is a form of love.

• I am limitless in my capacity for joy, healing, and happiness.

• I will achieve perfect balance and be successful in all that I take on.

Realizing that you are worth it and taking the time to sit quietly with your own positive thoughts will greatly affect your life on many levels. You will create a way to cope with distraction during your busy days. You will generate a calmer presence through slowing down and breathing with yourself. Knowing that you are a wholesome force of good that deserves peace and joy in your life will create a space of being able to receive for yourself. You deserve great happiness, peace, and love in your life. Make room for yourself!

Positive Affirmations For Success: 5 Crucial Rules To Remember

How do you write positive affirmations for success? When do you write them and where do you post them? With all these questions ringing in our head, it's no wonder most people haven't started anything at all yet.

Now that you're here though, it's time you learn how to come up with positive affirmations for success! Here are some important guidelines to follow:

1) Keep Affirmations Short And Direct To The Point.

Long, winding passages might have served some of your favorite authors well; but when it comes to writing positive affirmations for success, it's vital that you keep them short and direct to the point.

Shorter affirmations are more effective because they're easier to remember than long and complex ones. Think of the shortest possible affirmations for your purpose without sacrificing their meaning to you.

2) Avoid Anything Negative.

It sounds almost redundant to say this, but you have to be conscious about what you're writing. Sometimes, people don't think much of how they phrase their positive affirmations.

For example, "I don't want to get sick" is negative. Although it sounds like you're defending yourself against illnesses, the opposite effect might occur! That's because your subconscious could ignore the word "don't."

A powerful alternative would be to say something like, "I am perfectly healthy in mind, body and spirit."

3) Write When You're In A Positive Mood.

When writing positive affirmations for success, it is advisable that you do so when you're happy, thrilled or excited. Calm and peaceful works as well.

If you're feeling frustrated, sad or defeated, your words will carry a hint of negativity in them. You won't be able to look at your words without remembering that time when you were at your worst.

Write only when you're in a good state of mind. That way, the emotions attached to your affirmation won't be spoiled.

4) Keep Them In Present Tense.

Keeping your positive affirmations for success in present tense helps you attract your goals faster. It's as if you're living your life the way you want to, right at this very moment. It's as if all your dreams and ambitions are now moving from your future to your present.

When you think about it, doesn't "I am the youngest CEO of this company" sound better than "I will be the youngest CEO of this company?"

There are times, however, when you don't "feel" it. In the example above, if you're still having doubts inside when you say, "I am the youngest CEO," you can instead say, "I choose to be the youngest CEO of this company."

5) Post Them Where You Can See Them.

These affirmations are of no use if you don't follow them up after writing or reciting them. You have to really commit yourself to change.

By seeing your affirmations everyday, you are reminded of a promise to yourself - that you will, from now on, take care of you! So post them on your laptop if you're always using it or write them down on your notebook several times each day.

Positive affirmations for success keep people going, even though others would have quit. If you're not one to stop even before a job's done, then keep these tips in mind.

Positive Affirmations for 2012

At the beginning of a new year, it is a very common tradition to make resolutions about how you would like to improve yourself. Using positive affirmations, you can accomplish any resolution that you would like to make. By definition, resolutions made at the beginning of the year are things that you want to do to make your life better, or to change. Commonly, these resolutions last for maybe a week. The reason for this is that people, in general, do not truly believe that they can change these things. That is why it is important to ring in the New Year with both resolutions and positive affirmations.

One of the most common resolutions that people make is to quit smoking. If you smoke, you may realize that quitting is very hard. You can help your chances of successfully quitting by using positive affirmations. When you are ready to start reciting your affirmations, visualize yourself without a cigarette. Tell yourself that you don't need to smoke. To reinforce your statements, visualize yourself in a situation where you would normally smoke. Then take that cigarette out of the picture. Imagine yourself enjoying the same situation without the need to smoke. Some good suggestions to get you started on your positive affirmations include saying "I am happy as a non-smoker" and "I am above the temptation of smoking". These tips combined will go a long way toward helping you achieve your goals of not smoking.

Another resolution that positive affirmations can help with is getting into physical shape. Many people decide that the New Year is a great time to start getting that clean physique they had when they were younger, or they want to just feel better about themselves physically. This could mean going on a diet or even starting to go to gym on a more regular basis. You can help yourself with this goal by repeating to yourself such statements as "I have a good physique and am happy with my body" or "I am more physically fit than I have been in years". While using these statements, visualize what you want your end goal to be. In other words, picture exactly what you will look like when you reach your current goal. Are you going to be rippling with muscles, or are you going to just lose some weight? Picturing exactly what you want to look like will help reinforce your positive affirmations, which will in turn help you achieve your goals.

Financial independence is another resolution people make that positive affirmations can help with. Coming up with statements that illustrate what you want to achieve will help strengthen your willpower, improving your chances of success. Imagine what life would be like if you had enough money to do what you want, when you want to. What would you be wearing, who would be around you, and what kinds of things would you smell in the air at the time? Make all of this into a complete picture while repeating your positive affirmations such as "I am financially secure" or "I have financial freedom". This will ensure that you can reach your goals.

A new year often brings about new changes. These can often be lofty goals that you can only achieve with the help of positive affirmations. The best thing to remember is that it is a great plan to use the saying "a new year equals a new you" but it is important to use every tool in your toolbox. Using positive affirmations can help you be all you want in 2012.

Start the New Year Well With Positive Resolutions

New Year is a time for examining our lives, for vowing to improve and then usually deciding what we need to give up. Let's look instead at ways to improve ourselves by using positive resolutions.

Why not decide to start to:
- be more open and honest about your feelings. Instead of trying to please others, let them take responsibility for their own choices. By communicating more honestly you'll build a better relationship both with yourself and with others.

- be more positive about your job. Work provides more than income in our lives: a reason to get up each day and look smart, social contact, challenge and satisfaction are some of the important benefits of being employed. Decide to relish the work opportunities that come along and try to do your best every day.

- commit to having positive people in your life. Friends often stay in our lives out of habit; over time you may come to realise that you do not even like them very much. Positive people bring with them fun, interesting conversation, energy and enthusiasm for life. Clear away negative, unsupportive people. Decide instead to spend time with positive, fulfilling friends.

- make time for those special people. Sometimes our priorities need re-assessing. Many people find that months can go by without them seeing their friends. Life can get in the way, but spending time with friends matters. If times are tough, people are short of time or money why not plan a dinner where each person prepares a course. One person provides the house and setting, the effort and expense are shared by all and you have a pleasant evening together.

- ensure that you do things you enjoy within your relationship. Compromise is an important part of sharing your life, but it's important that your interests are also accommodated at times. Make a commitment to schedule activities that give you pleasure on a regular basis. That way you get to know each other better, respect each other's interests and bring variety into the relationship.

- enjoy the things in life that are free. Start to notice the valuable experiences that cost nothing or very little in terms of expense. Walking on a beach or in the countryside, visiting art galleries, browsing in a book store, having friends round for coffee are all inexpensive ways of enjoying life. Some theatres host free lunchtime concerts. Find out what's on in your home town.

- allow yourself some personal time. Many people are busy keeping their boss/family/friends happy. Other people's priorities can often take precedence over our own. Schedule time for yourself on a regular basis. Appreciate that if you'd booked to see an important client you would be sure to keep that appointment. You're equally important.

Treat yourself with kindness and you'll find that the other areas of your life improve as a consequence. When you feel refreshed, recharged and happy everyone benefits. Positive resolutions support you looking after yourself. The results speak for themselves.

Positive Affirmations Can Counteract Negative Thoughts

Affirmations are short sentences stating something, and are often used to improve behavioural issues and blocks that may be stopping you from accomplishing your goals, or preventing you from being happy. But even if you don't believe in them, affirmations are already on your life, often in the form of negative affirmations. Every time you tell yourself that you can't do something or that you are too old/heavy/ugly/slow to do something you want to do, you are using a negative affirmation to reinforce that belief. Positive affirmations are created to counteract those negative thoughts.

Positive affirmations are created to target particular behaviours that you know are negative, and help you achieve your goals by convincing yourself that you can actually do it. You cannot win a race if you never start running or if you just give up mid-way because somehow, you knew you were going to lose anyway. It's easy to see negative behaviour patterns on others, such as that workmate that never gets a promotion because he never asks for it, but it's much more difficult to see them on yourself. By identifying those goals that are dearest for you, you can then see what kind of negative behaviour patterns are stopping you on your tracks, and create an opposing positive affirmation to replace them on your mind.

Many negative thoughts originate from seemingly innocent comments made to you during your life that spiral out of control, or from well-meaning adults trying to excuse a mistake without making you feel bad. Take for example those people who never manage a diet, because they think that obesity is just their body build. Believing that you are just overweight because that's how life is and your mum always said that you just had to live with being round is not only damaging, but it's stopping you from actually succeeding on a diet. Unless there's an underlying medical issue, eating chocolate because a little voice on your head tells you that dieting is not going to work for you because your metabolism is slow is not leading you anywhere.

Turn around your negative thoughts into a positive affirmation that you can repeat happily and regularly to yourself, until it becomes part of you. This way you can actually invite change into your life, and change those things that are preventing you from being happy, or limiting your ability to enjoy yourself. There will be always a certain degree of resistance, as your subconscious doesn't want to change deeply seated behaviour patterns that at some point were useful, but if you persevere you'll soon start noticing that resistance fade and positive changes taking effect on your life. This, in turn, makes it easier for you to believe on the power of positive affirmations and your innate capacity for change.

If you aren't sure about the power of positive affirmations and a positive attitude to change your life you only need to try. Create an affirmation about a single goal that is important for you, and write it down, sing it or repeat it for yourself several times a day. Once the initial feelings of resistance fade you'll find yourself thinking differently, and that's the first step towards actually enabling change on your life.

6 Positive Affirmations From the Bible

In my last post, we discussed the use of affirmations and in it, I mentioned that Norman Vincent Peale had taken a Biblical text and suggested that it could be used directly as an affirmation. That particular text was from St. Paul's letter to the Philippians (Ph 4:13).

So in this post, I thought it might be useful to see what other affirmations I could find in the Bible. Now, I did not manage to find texts that could be used verbatim in exactly the same way as the above mentioned verse, however, it is certainly possible to construct affirmations based upon what the Bible says.

So here are some more affirmations, derived from the Bible, that you might also like to try for yourself. As you know, I am very keen to ensure that Bible verses are not taken out of their proper context, so I have given the reference to each of the verses from which the affirmations are constructed so that you can look them up for yourself.

6 Positive Affirmations Derived from the Bible:

1. I Am at Peace

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. - John 14:27

2. I Have an Abundant Life

I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. - John 10:10

3. I Have Boundless Energy

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. - Isaiah 40:31

4. I Am a New Creation

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! - 2 Corinthians 5:17

5. I Am Whole

... you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. - Colossians 2:9-10

6. I Am a Child of God

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. - John 1:12

As I mentioned in my previous post, Norman Vincent Peale suggests that you say each affirmation three times, and you repeat the procedure three times per day. Ideally, once in the morning just after rising, once around midday and finally, just before you retire for the evening. What lovely thoughts to leave impressed upon your mind as you go to sleep.

Positive Affirmations Demystified

One of the latest buzzwords around the world these days is positive affirmations. Most everyone has heard it spoken in one way or another. But what exactly does it mean, and more importantly, what can it do for you? Positive affirmations, when broken down, are simply statements that you can use to reprogram your mind to view everything around you in a positive light. It is a way to make yourself more of an optimist than a pessimist. The classic example being that the glass is never half empty, it is always half full. Using positive affirmations, you can view everything in life in this optimistic manner.

It is good to know what positive affirmations are, but what can they actually DO for you? When you don't have a positive outlook on life, you are much more likely to dread going to work, to be upset that you don't earn enough money, or even that you don't have the life that you really want. That may sound familiar, as that is the way that most people in the world think today. However, if you could reprogram your mind to view these points in a different light, you would find your situation improving. This is where positive affirmations come into play.

How can you possibly use positive affirmations to gain more money, change your outlook on your job, or change your life? By changing the way you look at things. The job that you have may not be the ideal job that you wanted when you were younger. However, with this job, you ARE in fact earning money, and more importantly gaining experience. You are currently preparing yourself for when you get that better job. That better job is going to lead to more money, which in turn will likely lead to a better overall life for you and your family. But will just thinking you are preparing yourself actually give you that better job? You bet it will!

If you, using positive affirmations, reprogram your mind to think of your current job as a way to get to where you want to be, you will give off an attitude of greater confidence and comfort in who you are and what you are doing. People around you will start to notice that attitude, and make note of who you are. Soon, you will have people coming to you, simply because they want to be seen with someone who is so positive in life. This will lead to job offers from areas that you may have coveted but never thought you would actually get. Soon, your positive attitude alone will lead to that job that you were seeking for all those years, or perhaps one even better. All of this begins with a simple positive affirmation such as "I will reach beyond where I am today/"

When broken down and explained in easy to understand terms, positive affirmations aren't nearly as mystical as they appear at first glance. If you really stop and think about them, you will find that they are actually a very logical force in life. In this way, you can see that all of the claims people make about positive affirmations, rather than being magical or mystical, are really believable. This will be your first step in changing your own life with positive affirmations.

Positive Affirmations: How Do They Work

In many cases, the biggest roadblock on the path of success is actually you. Self-defeating beliefs, such as "I am not good enough for this" or "I cannot do, I'm too clumsy" can really harm your chances, because they stop you from actually achieving your goals. Positive affirmations are short, positive statements that target those beliefs and help you reprogram your mind so they stop being an obstacle for your success.

It may sound a bit silly to just repeat a phrase to yourself again, and again, in front of the mirror, but you are actually mimicking one of the reasons why negative thought patterns emerge: When you are told by your peers or elders that something is not possible for you, or that you are lacking on some aspect or other, your mind ends up accepting it as truth. That feeling of resistance is often your subconscious trying to avoid having to change a behaviour pattern. Of course there's a limit, and repeating in front of the mirror "I will learn to fly" won't make you grow wings. But convincing yourself that losing weight or getting a promotion is possible is the first step towards actually achieving that.

Many thought patterns are learned during childhood, when the mind is still in a very malleable status, and most of them are incredibly useful. For example, as a child learning about the importance of a job well done and working hard can be key to a successful professional career as an adult. They remove the need to think: your subconscious uses those behaviour patterns to respond to every day patterns on your life, leaving your brain free to evaluate more complex situations. For example, if there's a fire your first thought will be to get away from it, your brain doesn't really need to think about that because your mind knows that fire is dangerous.

However, sometimes those beliefs are actually self-harming, formed on the wrong premises or in answer to a difficult set of circumstances that is no longer useful, appropriate or necessary and it's actually doing more harm than good. Positive affirmations aim to deal with this kind of subconscious beliefs that are hampering your progress and making you unhappy. By way of those short, positive statements you can learn how to bring positive and long-lasting change to your life, and that's why most self-help and coaching methods use them at some point or the other.

Positive affirmations also help you focus on your current goals, with a positive perspective. Being focused is necessary to achieve success. Using this kind of language tools you will be able to replace negative and undermining beliefs with others that are positive and self-nurturing and encourage a positive spiral of change. They help you let go of the past and take control of your life, so you can actually take action and make those much needed changes. It all starts with a positive attitude and snowballs from there.

Positive Affirmations: How Long Until You See Results?

Embarking on any sort of self-improvement process is a challenging and often very difficult decision, and it is easy to feel like giving up when things don't seem to improve right away. In fact, things seem often to be getting even worse, just because you are conscientiously paying more attention for them. If you have just started using positive affirmations you may be wondering how long will it take until you actually see results, but it's difficult to actually give a real timeframe as it varies a lot.

From the first day you start using positive affirmations to change your learned behaviours you'll notice two very distinct groups: Some of them you'll love saying and will make you smile, while others you'll feel silly and embarrassed about. The first group target behaviours or thought patterns that aren't deeply seated, or which aren't difficult for you to deal with. The second group often refers to issues that are much more long lasting and damaging and your mind refuses to let go of them. The defence mechanism your subconscious uses is making you feel negative about such change, resisting it by making you feel silly or stupid.

If you are really determined to bring change to a particular area of your life, and the negative beliefs affecting it aren't too deep, change will happen much quicker. It will also depend on how that thought pattern started: an issue that started with the negative impact of an authority figure when you were a small child will probably take much longer to get rid of than something caused by a bad boss on your first job that undermined your professional self-esteem. However, each case is unique and you should insist and wait until your mind is ready to accept change. Think of it as going to the gym: It sucks for the first weeks, but at some point it becomes a natural part of your routine and you smile each time you look at yourself on a mirror.

How to Make Positive Affirmations More Effective

Some techniques you can use to try and make your positive affirmations more effective are:

Say them while looking at yourself on a mirror: Most negative behaviour patterns start when somebody tells you things while looking at you on the eyes.Write them down, and place them somewhere you can see them easily during your day.Sing or chant your affirmations: The mind often accepts better messages on a singing or rhyming form, as many advertisers know well.

The power of positive affirmations to change your life is both surprising and amazing, and they can cause powerful change. If you have a positive attitude towards that change you will see results much quicker, so don't give up and keep telling yourself that change is possible and only depends on you.

Positive Affirmations and Your Health

Positive affirmations can easily change your whole life. You know how they work. You change your outlook on life, and you will bring that positivity to you. That is the basic Law of Attraction. Concentrate your mind on improvements you are going to have in your life, and they will come to you. What most people don't completely grasp is that positive affirmations can help change EVERY aspect of your life, even your physical wellness. In fact, it is potentially easier to understand this fact than any other aspect of the Law of Attraction.

How could positive affirmations possibly help your physical health? Think about the last time you had a cold. The doctors probably told you that the best thing for you would be rest. The most common "old wives" tale states that chicken soup will help you feel better also. Even work will let you take a few days off to help recover. Why is it that all of these things work? Because they are all steps to help you feel more comfortable. They will help your mind be more at ease, so it can work on repairing your body. Positive affirmations can help your mind in the same way.

When you use positive affirmations, you reprogram your mind to see things in positive manner. This includes how you see yourself. When you look in the mirror, see a worthy person looking back at you and you find yourself walking with more pride, being more comfortable with who you are. This person in the mirror has a comfortable air about them, and knows that anything he wants to accomplish, he can. If he feels like going to the gym for a while, he can, thus helping to strengthen his body. The person looking back at you is also confident enough to know that she doesn't want to be dependant upon foreign toxins to feel better. She has the willpower to quit smoking or any other addictive habit. In order to see this person in the mirror, all you have to do is use positive affirmations.

Positive affirmations can do more than just help with preventative health. They can help your mind be comfortable enough to help cure your body of illnesses and diseases. You can reinforce the idea of your health becoming better, envisioning the illnesses being forced out of your body. As you see these things, you will be able to put yourself into the place that rest and chicken soup would normally put you. Because you believe that it can, your mind will help clean out the negative influences on your body, helping you to heal yourself. This is how powerful positive affirmations truly are.

The human body is an amazing organism. With the right positive affirmations, the body can heal itself of diseases that would almost seem miraculous. A strong and healthy body begins with a healthy way of thinking. These healthy thought patterns will help to rewire the rest of your body to become a strong and healthy vessel. Maintaining positive affirmations will help your body realize that it also can achieve anything in life. Affirmations aren't just limited to the amount of money you may make, or your happiness at those around you. They can easily be adapted to change not just your way of life, but your way of physical health.

Positive Affirmations and Other Powerful Techniques for Achieving Small Business Success

I'm fascinated by how our brains work, and the incredible power that our thoughts have in helping us to bring to life those things that we most desire.

I'm also a little bit terrified of it all, if I'm being honest.

Because if I have the ability to create something out of nothing merely by the thoughts that I think, then I need to be extra vigilant about the quality of those thoughts.

You know, just to make sure that what I'm bringing in is in alignment with what I actually want. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once observed, "A man is what he thinks about all day long."

That's a tremendous responsibility, don't you think?

Positive affirmations are a great way to "train your brain" to think the kinds of thoughts that produce the sort of results you're looking for (whether that's small business success, a loving relationship, financial freedom, or whatever it is you are wanting to manifest), but they're just a starting point.

In fact, if you want lasting small business success, it's important to get to a point where you're not attaching too much importance to your thoughts at all, and instead are feeling your way through life.

Let me explain.

Most of the thoughts that we think aren't really our own. In fact, they've been passed along to us from our family, our society, teachers, and those we spend our days with.

Over time, for better or for worse, these thoughts become beliefs that we operate by, often without even being aware of it.

Once we become aware of this fact, we tend to take an analytical approach to changing these thoughts, which, if you've ever tried it, is like whistling in the wind. Put your attention on a negative belief you'd just as soon be done with, and what do you think about?

That negative belief.

Lather, rinse, repeat, and you see why it's very difficult for us to root out thoughts and beliefs that don't serve us.

When we instead choose to feel our way through any given situation, we move away from the thinking brain and its conditioned thought processes and beliefs, and instead tune our internal radio dial to another frequency where we can "know without knowing" what step to take next as we move towards our goal.

If you're frustrated with the practice of positive affirmations and want to bring about real change in 2012, try sitting in silence at least once a day. Follow your breath, or the beating of your heart, and when thoughts come up, as they will, watch them float in your consciousness like they were bubbles on a summer day. Don't judge them as good or bad; just observe. As you do, you'll notice that your thoughts are actually neutral - neither good or bad, just thoughts - until you assign them a value.

Better still, once you can observe your thoughts and let them go, you'll begin to trust your feelings and intuition, as well as the inspiration that comes when we turn off the mind chatter (even if that chatter consists of positive affirmations) and tune into the silence.

Try this practice of silent observation for one week, and see what happens. You might be surprised to see that the small business success, or any other good thing that you desire, is just a heartbeat away.

Positive Attitude Is Key To Success: Myth Or Reality?

If you were told that the reason why you aren't more successful is just that your attitude isn't positive enough you'd probably think they are oversimplifying. However, there is a popular school of professional coaching based around the concept of positive attitude and positive affirmations to achieve professional and personal success. How much truth is there on that kind of teachings?

Positive People Get Promoted

It's not easy to deny the fact that people who are successful are often positive and sure of themselves. The reasons for this are two-fold: Nobody likes working with a naysayer that darkens the day with its sole, negative presence, and managers often notice (and promote) people who aren't scared to blow their own trumpet and seem genuinely happy to be working for your company. In other areas of life being positive also has natural advantages: Who would you prefer as a romantic interest, somebody who is happy to be there and sure of himself or herself, or somebody who is trying to hide in a corner and grumbles about everything? Being positive, without a doubt, has its advantages.

But You Need To Work For It Too

However, smiling and being sure of yourself won't get you anywhere without hard work and dedication, and any lifestyle guru or professional coach that forgets to talk about the effort required to actually make changes on your life is not going to be very helpful. Working 10hr a day is of course much easier If you genuinely enjoy your job and know the rewards that will come from all that work, but you'll still need to do your best. Of course, being positive about your skills and your life goes a long way towards motivating you to do your best, but there's no reward without work.

There's No Easy and Quick Way to Success...

But being positive sure helps. While positive attitude is almost a must have for success, it doesn't mean that the moment you start smiling more you'll suddenly will get promoted. Anybody promising you quick and easy ways to getting rich (or married, or promoted) is actually trying to sell you the myth of positive thinking, without any regards for your actual success.

If you are interested in learning more about the power of positive affirmations and positive attitude you should seek out the services of a professional lifestyle coach who can clearly explain how to leverage this positive energy to increase your chances of success.

How to Make Portable Positive Affirmation Cards - Inexpensive Cards You Can Make in 5 Minutes

Positive affirmations work faster when you repeat them often throughout the day, instead of just once or twice. However, it is easy to forget to do it while rushing through the day. This article will share with you how to make easy portable positive affirmation cards within 5 minutes that you can put in your wallet, car or around the house. They serve as reminders to make use of the affirmations whenever you see them while going about your day.

I recommend handmade cards over those you can buy as they tend to be more effective. Some words work better for you than others. Being able to customise the wordings to those that work best for you means that the affirmations will work better for you. When your affirmation cards are handmade, they become very personal and will resonate better with you than those that are commercial made or store bought.

Materials you will need:

colored paper (100-120gsm works well)scissorsblack markerdecorative embellishments (optional) eg: colored markers, stickers, pictures, glitter etc

Step 1: Cut paper into the desired size

Cut your colored paper or decorative paper into the desired size. I like to use either bright or pastel colored paper. Bright colors are more eye catching and draws your attention to the affirmation among a sea of white paper documents. Pastel colors can also be a good option as they are soothing and calming on the eyes. I like to use plain paper and decorate them later, but you can just as well use decorated paper if you prefer. For simplicity and convenience, use what you can find at home.

The size must be small enough that it is portable, but big enough that the affirmations are readable. I like to make credit card sized positive affirmation cards because I find them the easiest to bring out. They are extremely portable as I can fit them into my wallet and then place them in the car while driving or display them on my desk at work. You can choose to make them in the size of post its or postcards if you like.

Step 2: Write one affirmation on each card using the black marker

These affirmations are some examples:

I live in the present moment, joyous and free.

I am comfortable with my sexuality.

It is safe to be who I am.

Step 3: Decorate

Get creative! The only limit is your fear to express yourself.

Add pictures, stickers or glitter to embellish your portable positive affirmation cards to make them more appealing and eye catching.

Now that you are done with your portable positive affirmation cards, bring them everywhere! The more you use positive affirmations, they more true they become for you.

Are you making progress with your affirmations?

It takes some time and effort to change your thought patterns and beliefs, but it is very possible to do so. Loving yourself is a continuous choice and process. Self love and happiness is not about reaching an ideal end destination, but about constantly being true to yourself and placing your happiness as utmost importance. It isn't easy, so keep encouraging yourself to stay on this journey and use affirmations daily.

How to Build Your Self Confidence - Positive Affirmations for Women

Women love to feel good and be appreciated for who they are. You know the feeling when your boss praises you for doing a good job, or when a man adores you for looking good. Fundamentally, we all want to feel good about ourselves. But what about those incidences when we've been hurt? When someone passed a hurtful comment, or we failed at something? Those are the times when negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves may have been formed. Lets explore how you can use positive affirmations to build self confidence. You can use these affirmations to feel more secure about yourself and feel good from within.

What are some positive affirmations for women?

I love being a womanI love my bodyI rejoice in my femalenessMy body is doing the best it can now

If love feels like a word that is too strong for now, use the word appreciate or enjoy. You may not feel like you can love your body yet, but starting to appreciate it is a good start.

Appearances affect your self confidence

A woman's appearance can really affect her confidence level. The media bombards us with images of what is 'perfect' and then we inadvertently compare ourselves with that. If we believe what they show us is the only form of being beautiful, and we look different from that, then we may start to form certain negative views about the way we look. Over time, negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves limit us and create fear in our lives. We start to become fearful of being who we really are inside.

How can positive affirmations help?

Positive affirmations help to improve your self image by changing the way you look and think about your appearance. The fundamental basis of using positive affirmations is that we create our thoughts and beliefs in life. These thoughts and beliefs then shape our responses to anything that happens. We need to understand that events in themselves have no meaning, only the interpretations we give to it. So if we have chosen hurtful thoughts such as 'I am ugly' in the past, we can just as easily choose to change them into 'I am beautiful'.

I used to have an unrealistic ideal of looking like Kate Moss when in fact, I may never reach that goal. Comparing myself to super models, celebrities and even prettier girls in school, I felt that I was ugly and undesirable. It was worse when people remarked about my looks and unconsciously scarred me even more. It made me fearful to express myself.

Positive affirmations help change your negative thought patterns and habitual responses into more positive and self loving ones. The key is to notice when a negative thought comes up. Ask yourself if the thought makes you feel good. If it doesn't, choose a better one by turning it around.

What if it's not working?

Sometimes, you strongly believe and identify with thoughts and ideas that you have held on to for a long time. While those thoughts may have served you in the past, you can let them go and choose new ones that nourish you. You are an amazing individual with intelligence, beauty and wisdom. Seek to find confidence from within by believing in yourself and trusting that you are worthy and beautiful.

Sueyan Lim Shuyan has been working with positive affirmations for 5 years. She shares her wisdom on changing habitual thought patterns and responses into self loving ones. Loving yourself and letting your true self shine is an ongoing choice to do so.

Tips for Better Positive Affirmations

You can read anywhere about how to create affirmations, what exactly positive affirmations do, and how they work. But it can be a little harder to find tips on how to make them more successful for you. There are obviously as many tips available to you as there are actual affirmations. Everyone is unique in how their mind works therefore there is no set rules on how to have positive affirmations work for you. There are many tips that can be applied to most anyone though. This is what we will talk about today.

Many people know and understand that repetition is a key to success for positive affirmations. The standard practice is to repeat your affirmations upon waking up and right before going to bed. The more that you repeat your affirmations to yourself, the more that you mind will become saturated with the ideas you are trying to convey to it. To this point, it might be a good idea to carry around a physical reminder to let you know that you should recite your affirmative statements. For example, if you put your hands in your pockets often, you may want to carry around a rough stone that will trigger your memory. In other words, every time you put your hands in your pocket and feel the stone, you know that you should repeat your affirmations to yourself. This is the same thing, though less visible than tying a ribbon around your finger, however you can tie a ribbon if that will help you. Anything that will help remind you to say your positive affirmations will be a great thing.

Another good tip for succeeding with your positive affirmations is to create pictures and images in your mind that go with your affirmations. Picture what your affirmative statements should look like to you, and how you will feel and look when they are successful. Even as a mental image, this will be a more tangible thing to grasp for your subconscious mind than simple words. If you state "I have the potential to be successful in my life", then you are leaving a very ambiguous picture for your subconscious mind. If, on the other hand, you picture what it would look and feel like to be successful, what you would see in front of you, how people around you would react, and the feelings you would experience at this, then you are creating a complete picture for your mind. This becomes much more than just words, it becomes an almost real thing. The image is so clear in your mind that your subconscious can almost reach out and grab it. This will make it so much easier for your mind to be able to accept your positive affirmations for fact.
As I mentioned earlier, there are many, many more tips that could work for you. Over the course of the next few articles, I will expand on other ways that you can help your own positive affirmations become more successful. Read through them and see which ones make the most sense to you and your lifestyle. You can then use any of a combination of these tips to reinforce your positive affirmations, and help them go from being an abstract thought to your new reality.

Try to avoid any negative thoughts when writing them, sticking to things that make you happy and you can believe. Write several different versions of each, and read the list whenever you feel down or think you can't do something. Because you are a valuable person, no matter what your biology wants to make you think.
