Self-affirmations are the 'self-talk" you give yourself every
day. They are based on your beliefs and with them you create your
reality. You can either use positive or negative communication. Both
positive affirmations and negative affirmations have the ability to
influence your life, your environment, and you. People who are highly
successful program their minds with affirmations, images, and
visualizations of success then back these up with action and
persistence. By using affirmations, images and words either consciously
or subconsciously you can create prosperity, abundance and success.
Regular use of positive affirmations helps you to reach goals and
continue thinking positively.Structure of a Good Affirmation
Affirmations will only work if they are true! The structure of an affirmation is very important. All effective affirmations are in the first-person format. They all start with I. Make sure your affirmations are in the here and now! They should be present tense. Many people resist doing this and in doing so diminish the power of an affirmation. Most affirmation statements start with the words, "I am." This simple statement is very powerful. When you create affirmations, you get to determine what kind of person you are and will become. Some affirmations may also start with, "I have," "I can," "I act," "I choose."
To begin, take a full positive inventory of your attributes, strengths, talents, and competencies and start with a focus on those things you have already mastered. If you are very good at keeping a clean and orderly house you could say, "I am an organized housekeeper."
Next you can create affirmations for qualities you are trying to develop. For example, if your goal is to have a positive attitude you would say, "I am a positive person." This concept also works for physical goals, such as, if you desire to make more money, you would say, "I am a money magnet."
Repeat your affirmations daily and take time to consider what each statement means in your life. See and feel yourself living the experience of being rich or successful or thin or whatever it is you are trying to manifest in your life. The better you can see yourself living the life of your dreams the more quickly your positive affirmation will come true.
Affirmations, when worded correctly and emotionally charged, tap into the unlimited creative power of your subconscious mind, and manifest your desires.
Conclusion
Affirming a goal regularly keeps it at the front and center of your thinking. People tend to accomplish what they think about, especially when thinking about it properly. Implementing positive affirmations into your self-talk can result in a positive attitude, optimism, and can motivate you toward emotional growth and progress.
