The Power Of Daily Positive Affirmations

by Lissa

Positive Affirmations

When one of  my close  male friend was first advised to start using daily affirmations, he was as skeptical as most men would be. Positive affirmation seemed like a tool for the week, easily manipulated, and gullible. Who needs to chant affirmations to himself in order to build positive self esteem? He certainly didn’t, or so he thought. That was why he was so upset when his therapist recommended this daily positive affirmations, or daily positive self talk. He was going there because he was a reputable scientist.  He knew that he had some deep-seated psychological problems that he needed to work out, and silly self programming routines just wouldn’t do the trick. As a matter of fact, he almost stopped going to him after that. It is a good thing that he didn’t. He told me that he  should have been more willing to listen to him – he knew what he was talking about.

When used every day, Affirmations are terrific tools that can
help you reprogram your subconscious mind, build more confidence,
develop an abundance mind-set and more. The problem is that many
people aren’t sure exactly how to write effective affirmations.

Affirmations should be written in the first person and in the
present tense, because now is the only time that exists.
Consequently, creation can only happen in the now.

The wording of your affirmation is very important.
You need to state exactly what you want to happen and be
able to express what it feels like if you possessed the object
you desire at that given moment. In other words. You need
to feel the truth of the affirmation, and believe it has already
happened.You need to repeat your affirmation every day
upon awakening and just before going to bed without fail at
least for 5 minutes.

emotions to a more positive “space” so you feel more confident,
happy, secure and abundant. It also direct the power of your

Is Loving Yourself Possible?

by Lissa

Is Loving Yourself Possible?

Love. A word charged like a loaded gun. We have been bombarded all
our lives by messages about love. You must love your mother and
your father; you must love your siblings, your friends, your
husband, your wife, your pet etc. Since love begins with one’s
self, how can you love anyone if you don’t love yourself?

If you spent your childhood being put down by your parents and
other adults or peers that you looked up to for your sense of
self, you will have difficulty loving yourself. These negative and
derogatory messages are recorded in your subconscious mind and
their effects are still affecting you to this day.

When someone told you that you were a loser, you believed them.
When someone told you that you’d never amount to anything, you
believed them.  When someone told you that you were dumb, or
learning disabled or a total idiot, you believed them. The sad
part is that you still believe them to this day even if you’re
not consciously aware of that.

Is it possible to rewrite these old messages playing in your
subconscious mind and replace them with new, empowering ones?
Yes you can!

The first thing you need to do is to spoil and pamper yourself.
Spend time doing things that make you feel good. Be selfish with
your time. Do things with others or for others when you feel good
about doing it not out of obligation or because you want their
approval. Spend quality time with yourself because you deserve it.
Learn to love spending time alone. Read personal development
books to help you explore a new way of being.

Secondly, examine your current belief system. Create positive and
empowering affirmations such as: “I am a valuable person. I have
a lot to offer. I am creative, talented, and successful. People
appreciate my company”. Use affirmations when the old messages
begin playing in your head to make you feel inadequate or to hold
you back. Challenge them. Don’t let your past determine your
future. Don’t let someone else’s opinion determine your reality.
Decide what you want to be true about yourself.

Thirdly, stop focusing on what is wrong with you. Instead focus
on all the good things you have going for you. Love yourself,
encourage yourself in your self-talk. When you accomplish
something congratulate yourself! Say things like, “Wow, I am
so proud of myself for making this happen.” “When I look at
myself in the mirror, I see a beautiful, intelligent and loving
person looking back at me”. The more you nurture yourself,
the better you will feel, and in time these old self limiting beliefs will
lose their power over you and your subconscious mind will begin
to accept the new, positive and empowering messages you have
been feeding it. When you can truly affirm that you love yourself,
the love for others will come naturally without any effort on your
part, and you will attract new individuals in your life that will
reflect that love towards you in return.
