Hi and welcome.
Using affirmations is something I've done to help me improve my own outlook and I share with you tips and ideas that I've found useful.
Blessings. It's great seeing more people smile. :)
Affirmations ~ the basics
- First off, smile. That's it. Real big now. Then say, "I like myself! I like myself! I like myself!" Okay, now smile and say, "I like others! I like others! I like others!" Now smile real big again and say, "Others like me! Others like me! Others like me, too! Yeaaa!"
You did it. You made positive feel good affirmations.
Affirmations, positive thoughts, are what you affirm, declare or state positively.
Smile and say, "I like myself. I like others. Others like me too." Repeat it. Write it. Record it. Sing it. If at first it seems too unbelievable, smile and add, "I am ready to accept that I like myself," or "I am ready to like myself." All of these methods can help you to accept your new thought more easily, and then it becomes easier to be a part of who you are.
Another fun way to practice your affirmations, is to link them to seeing something. It can be a fun reminder and also act as a reinforcement. For instance, every time you see a road sign, you can smile and affirm, "There is an abundance of safe drivers."
After these new thoughts start taking hold, you'll notice some new ideas. Part of this great process is then listening to your intuition, and following it.
Here are some more affirmations that are definitely true; all you have to do is start now.
: ) I am capable.
: ) You are capable.
: ) We all are capable.
: ) Good in. : ) Good out.
: ) I love you. I love you. I love you.
Some of my favorite affirmations
These are ones I came up with.
- : ) I like that I easily attract and bring out good vibes in others, because I'm feeling good vibes myself.
: ) I like that good vibes are occurring more and more, and are happily contagious.
: ) I like that more and more of God's creations are experiencing these contagiously feel good feelings.
: ) I always live happily and easily in the present, even when I am consciously creating my future present.
: ) I love you. I love you. I love you. :)
Tips for Creating Your Own Affirmations
- First off, smile; and think about some things you like. Then smile some more. Think some more about things that you like. You get the idea. Keep smiling.
Next, smile, and write about things you like, keeping them in a positive and present tense statement, perhaps starting off with, "I like ..." Some examples are: I like who I am and what I do. I enjoy talking to people. I accept my looks. I accept my own inner beauty. Then daydream and imagine more things that you like.
Also make a list of the things that are working in your life.
The more you can focus on what you do appreciate in the long run, the better you'll feel about yourself and your life.
After you've got some ideas written down, then read them, recite them, record them, sing them. Do any combination of these and keep smiling. And review that list of the things you do like in your life. Also, if you make a recording, besides following all the above tips, allow enough time inbetween each statement for you to repeat it again, or just to allow it to have more time to sink in.
You can also look at yourself in the mirror and say, "Your name, you are beautiful." You can also say, "I am beautiful." Or if either one feels too strong to do at first, just look at yourself in the mirror and say, "Beautiful." You can also do a wordless affirmation, just smile. You can smile at the reflection in the mirror, and you can smile to the mirror itself.
Some ideas may change faster than others. And some may happen rather quickly. Both are okay.
If old beliefs come to surface, just just keep coming up with a better feel good thought, or make the statement to yourself, "I am choosing a better feeling thought." You don't even have to know what it is.
Another tip is to ask yourself, 'What if the next best positive thing happens.' For example, "What if the extra money does come in?" "What if I can do what I love doing to the good of all?" "What if I can just chuckle about everything that's happened up until now." "What if I always wear a smile?"
