The Fundamentals Of Positive Affirmations

By Doris Wofford


Good mental health is fundamental to overall well-being. There are many things that can be done in order to guarantee a person lives a positive and fulfilling life. Affirmations are among them. This term refers to a style of positive thinking and self-empowerment. Through positive affirmations, people can expect to have happier and more rewarding lives.

A more specific definition for these is formatted statements that should be repeated aloud or to oneself. They can also be written down. For this practice to be most effective, messages should be specific, personal, positive and in the present tense.

Generally, people have their own personal statements that they use. These are believed to be more effective. However, while getting started, a person might use very basic and generic messages that are used by many others. These sayings are important because they help create a mental attitude, often one that encourages success in all things.

Having a negative mindset can leave a person unhappy. If they focus on pessimistic thoughts and negative outcomes, they are likely to see them come to pass in their life. This is often referred to as a self-fulfilling prophecy, which can be used for good or bad. Stress, negativity and other similar emotions can also drain the body and lead to health problems.

Affirmations that are regularly read or recited can help people stay focused, happy and confident. The messages are similar to the practices of affirmative prayers, positive thinking, creative visualization and personal magnetism. All these things are used for the same purpose. They are also centered around the beliefs of life force or energy, and law of attraction.

Results will differ by individual. Still, those who are consistent with statements are likely to receive the best possible results. This practice of repeating messages is not associated with a particular religion, although it might be done by religious people. Even those who have found peace and happiness in life can benefit from these statements, which help promote a good attitude even when the going gets tough. This can be particularly helpful for people who are frequently anxious or worried.

The messages need to reach the subconscious. This is why it is so important that they are consistently reported. They must make an impression within this part of the mind so that the mind with subconsciously work to bring things to fruition. Words and thoughts people have dictate how the mind is programmed.
