Affirmingly Creating Our Lives
All right! I have been on a positive kick for a grip and now it's time to give you some positivity. Lately, I have been reading, hearing, and knowing that our lives our a result of our thoughts, words, and deeds. We create our lives. The love we want, we bring into our lives. The career that holds our attention and passion, we created. The money in our bank account. The car we drive. The job we complain about. All of it, each and everything that is happening in this time on this earth, we asked for and got.
For the past MONTH, I have been attempting to create affirmations to effect change in this life of mine. Everyday I look at this phone and ignore the reminder on the bottom telling me to create said affirmations. Subconsciously, I think I am afraid of the good these affirmations may do. Afraid of good? YES!!! Sometimes we get so comfortable and complacent in our lives that to do more... to receive more gives us an uneasy feeling. So this is what I learned about affirmations and by my next entry, I will have some to share with you.
WHAT DO YOU WANT:
What do you want? From a new car (which is on my list) to the wealth of Bill Gates, you have to know specifically what it is that you want to happen. You have to know and you have to be willing to prepare to receive and maintain it. No general ideas. See and visualize the color, smell, feel, taste... whatever it takes for your mind to recognize your desire. You have to be able to call out what you are trying to encourage in your life.
POSITIVE WORDS ONLY:
When you're ready to write you affirmations down, use all affirming or positive words. 'Not', 'won't', 'can't', are all negative. Saying "I won't gain any weight" will only cause you to gain weight. Use 'am' and 'have'. These are "now" words and will cause you mind and the universe to believe as if it already is. "I am losing weight," will get those pounds off. "I am confident in my power." Speak and think as if it already is. 'Will' and 'going' are future words. They will always delay your desire because your mind will always think it's going to happen instead of it is happening.
OUT LOUD:
Say it out loud. The sound of your voice will only drive home what you are creating in your life. Shout it. Scream it. Whisper it, if in public. Just let your voice be heard. It's also good to say your affirmations aloud, in front of a mirror. Give yourself plenty of eye contact and repeat each affirmation at least three times... more for the ones you really want to happen ASAP. Your mind will see your face, your lips and voice forming these words and will eventually bow down to your will. It will feel hell uh weird at first but how bad do we want change. I'm sure embarrassing ourselves in front of ourselves is worth an abundant life.
What are some of your affirmations? Which have worked? What hasn't? What other affirming practices do you use?
