The Power of Affirmations

Our Constant Inner Dialog 

We are not always aware of the nearly constant inner dialogue in our minds. Our mind is always busy talking to itself, creating stories about ourselves and others. It can be a never-ending soundtrack about our problems, feelings about the world, and life in general. What we say and think is very important, although many of us are unaware of this stream of thoughts. At the same time, this song we are playing in our minds is the actual building block of what we experience in life. In other words, our mental movie about life eventually becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

The Importance of Awareness 

To change this pattern, it is important to become aware of our inner dialogue and mental images. Many of our thoughts tend to be old replays of old patterns. These outdated habitual patterns we have collected over the years still influence our choices and how we interact with people. Basically, they are running our lives. For instance, we may have self-defeating thoughts like, “I don’t think I’m able to take on this new role at work,” or “Nothing ever works out that easily!”

Finding An Antidote

So, how can we break free from this cycle of negative self-talk? The answer lies in using affirmations. Using affirmations can help us slowly replace some of our stale or uninspiring mind chatter with more positive ideas and outlook on life. Affirmations are positive statements that you say to yourself over and over with feeling and meaning to reprogram your subconscious, especially when doubts and fears arise. Affirmations are very powerful and can transform many of our attitudes and views about life and eventually help us create a more joyful and loving reality for ourselves. 

How to Use Affirmations

You can say affirmations silently; you can speak them aloud; you can write them down in your journal if you wish. So, next time you find yourself thinking and feeling negatively, try saying affirmations to yourself. It is also important to accept your negative thoughts and emotions just as you would the positive ones. Acceptance makes it easier to change; without it, you may find yourself battling your negative thoughts and feeling guilty for having them, which is an unpleasant place to be.

A Simple Daily Practice

 

Focusing on saying positive things to yourself a few minutes a day can go a long way. Just give it a try and see how it feels. For example, if you become aware of a thought like this, “Life is a never-ending struggle,” say to yourself, “Life always supports me.”

The Best Ways to Use Affirmations

Use the present tense

Using affirmations in the present tense anchors you in the here and now where your power is most potent. You are not only summoning the power of your innermost self, but you are doing it here and now because the now is where you need to be. 

Many people tend to use the future tense. For instance, “I will do this when I have a chance. I will release blame and guilt. I will release my fear. I will do something good for myself.” When you use the future tense, you merely delay all that you want. What you are asking of the Universe will always be in the future. The Universe knows only the present moment, and your power is effective in the present. Therefore, when you know this, it is important that you use affirmations in the present tense. If you are seeking future fearlessness, you do not say, “I will be courageous.” You say, “I am courageous.” If you want to be wise or summon the wisdom within your being, you do not say, “I will be wise.” Instead, you say, “I am wise and loving.”

Avoid Contractions

It is best to use affirmations without contractions. For instance, instead of saying, “I’m free to be who I am,” you say, “I am free to be who I am.”

Remain in the stillness of your heart

When you are in your mind, you are often tuned into the outer world, a world that tells you who you are, and you grow up believing that you are that. And throughout your day, as you recite your affirmations, if you are not centered, you may well be in your fearful mind reciting your affirmations, which becomes ineffective. In that way, you are not summoning the stillness of the infinite being within.

Simple Steps

Connecting
with Your
Heart Center

  • Be in a quiet place. Take a few deep breaths and call upon the infinite being within — the wise, loving self.
  • Connect with your heart center, a place of love and compassion—a place that sees you as a mighty force within the Universe.
  • Feel the expanded version of yourself. Imagine that you are surrounded by loving forces.
  • In this space, you are whole and complete. Feel the essence of love and light.

Using a Meditation Format

  • Say your affirmation and let it ring true to you. Feel in your heart what you are saying aloud.
  • Close your eyes for a moment and visualize the affirmation. Visualize the message it conveys to you. Let positive emotions engulf you.
  • Imagine yourself as wise and loving. Let the affirmation stay in your heart and mind for as long as you wish.
  • As you close this reflection, congratulate yourself and share your gratitude for finding out who you truly are.
  • You can repeat this exercise for as long as you wish throughout your day. You do not necessarily have to be off-balance to do this. You can do this often so that it becomes a constructive habit for you to adopt.

Using a
Writing Format

  • You can also write your affirmations in your journal. You may use the same setup as described in Connecting with Your Heart Center, to center yourself and connect with your innermost self. Pick your affirmation, write it down mindfully and feel deep within the vibration it conveys. You may write it 20 to 30 times or as much as you wish.
These exercises can be done throughout the day, particularly before going to bed. Create a simple routine before you retreat for the night. You can center yourself and reflect upon the affirmation through writing or simple meditation. Also, note that the more you use the affirmations, the more they will begin to change. It means that new affirmations will emerge. Let them emerge. Change your affirmations as you wish. Let them reflect what you desire the most—the changes you wish to see in your life.
