The Undeniable Benefits Of Daily Affirmations

By Brendon G. Burwell


In order to feel good about ourselves, our lives, and our circumstances, it's necessary to consciously feel appreciation for them. The most effective way to feel appreciative is to use positive self talk, which can be done with daily positive affirmations.From the time we're small children, throughout our adult lives, we hear messages about ourselves. These messages might be positive, or they could be destructive. Kids who grow up hearing "you'll never amount to anything," tend to believe what they hear, and then work to fulfill the identity they hold for themselves. On the converse, children who hear positive messages about themselves tend to fulfill those identities as well.

Affirmations are powerful so you must remember to use your words carefully. Choose words that are in complete alignment with you and what you want, choose only positive phrases and affirm them in the here and now by using words such as "I am" and "I have".

When trying to manifest your desires through affirmations and any other techniques consistency is the key ( just as it is with many other things in life.) Whatever we give our attention to is what we are drawing into our life. You need to consistently place your attention on that which you desire. Visualisation combined with positive affirmations is the key to getting what you want. See yourself as already having it, let your thoughts and feelings flow to enjoying the object or the experience.

One of the most powerful experiences in my life has been to work with Tibetan singing bowls. I have seen these in action in Nepal and been deeply moved by the response to them and the experience of coming into contact with their deep vibrations and tones. For me, this is one of the most magical sounds there can be, reaching out from across the millennia with healing energy - essentially because of their beautiful sounds.

Thanks to the work of early pioneers, such as Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins in the 40s and 50s, the world of science is only just beginning to recognize the significance of music as a psychological tool. As a result, music therapy and various forms of sound therapy are developing as disciplines in their own right.

The appearance of being in control is something the people around you will look for in a man. Tailoring your positive daily affirmations to suit this end will go a long way toward achieving this goal. You will want to tell yourself that you are in control of what goes on around you. It is important to remember that not everything will always be in your control however. In cases like that, you will want to remind yourself that things that are out of your control will still not bring you down. This is the first step in controlling your environment.

Everything we think, everything we say, is an affirmation. Whether conscious or not, we are continually analyzing our existence. The way we think about ourselves and our lives shapes the way that we respond and react to the environment around us. If we tell ourselves we hate our job we'll spend so much time focusing on that, we will fail to notice things such as we have friends we work with, the great employee care our company offers and career advancement opportunities. Conversely, if we were to tell ourselves we loved our job we would smile more at work, be more productive and excited about our work and network and make more connections that could lead to a coveted promotion.

Positive affirmations work by the power of thought, and the power of thought plays a large influence on our lives. Many of the extremely successful people today operate with daily affirmations, and you can too. You are the only limit to your dreams; only you can create the reality you want.

A good set of positive daily affirmations will also help bring joy and relaxation in your life without you even having to open a book or attend a seminar. You will have set up an arsenal that will fight off the less than good things that happen around you and put a more positive thing on it. This means that you only see what is good in life and the area around you, thus giving you more control over things that you thought were unregulated. As you subconsciously have a more positive attitude about things, you will begin to notice that things do actually begin to change. This is due to the fact that you are so happy and positive with your positive daily affirmations that your confidence level goes up, which in turn causes you to begin to see things more positively with your active eye. As your outlook becomes more positive, your interactions with the world around you will change, becoming more positive also. The more positive you are, the more life in general will work on making things better for you. This is called the "law of attraction." Keep watching closely and you will see what the law of attraction is about, but that is for a different article.

Now that you have your affirmation, you need to use it. You'll want to make positive thinking a part of your daily routine. Try to do this first thing in the morning, and then throughout the day if you find your negative thoughts are creeping back in. Look at yourself in the mirror. Be convincing, be enthusiastic, and make yourself believe what you are saying. Keep a paper with your positive statements on it with you at all times. Take it out and read it to yourself if you need to. Don't feel silly. Remember that you have the power to change your life, and positive daily affirmations can be the first step in a great journey.
