How Can Positive Thinking Affirmations Help You?

Affirmations work by repetition. Simply put, when you repeat affirmations with belief (positive emotion or conviction), your subconscious picks up on them and starts acting as if they were true.

Soon, your mind starts looking for those things, events and people that match whatever it is the affirmation states (for instance, "People are always helpful to me").

You then start seeing that reality manifest all around you.

Tailor-made affirmations

Do not just repeat any affirmation that you find. Rather, tailor-make them to your needs and adapt them to your personal circumstances.

For example, if you have had issues with your health, you may like to focus on positive thinking affirmations to improve your general well being, such as 'My body heals itself', or 'It is easy for me to make healthy choices'.

The words used in affirmations are very important and make a difference. You want your affirmations to work, so you want to choose the right words.

You can also find good advice to use affirmations to create the life of your dreams in Mike Dooley's set of recordings "Infinite Possibilities".

What is the key point of positive thinking affirmations?

...believe them (or at least give them a chance). You don't need to believe them 100%, but you just need enough of the positive feeling to tip over 50%.

Feel good as you're saying your affirmations. Feel as if they were true already and you were just stating the obvious. Start by faking it if needed, nobody is watching!

My aspiration is...

When I first started practicing positive thinking affirmations I found that sometimes affirmations created a contradiction and made me feel bad, as if I wasn't living up to my own expectations.

There I was, saying to myself "I am calm and peaceful", while the little voice in my mind argued "Well, don't you remember the argument you had just yesterday with that person? You weren't exactly calm then."

I found a way of expressing affirmations that would leave me feeling good and full of hope when what the affirmation stated felt out of reach. Pema Chodron in "Start where you are" talks about aspiration, and so I took the formula "My aspiration is...".

For instance:

• My aspiration is to lighten up

• My aspiration is to be more loving

• My aspiration is to transmit peace

Now there was a difference. When you say "My aspiration is to be peaceful" you accept the fact that you haven't been peaceful in a given moment, but that is Ok because what you choose to go towards is to be peaceful, and that overrides your "mistakes" from the past.

The present is your moment of power, always.

Try this formula! It gives quite a lot of hope, specially when the situation feels really difficult or you feel stuck.
