Guide to Effective Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations are very useful in establishing a positive mindset. It involves
replacing all of your negative thoughts with positive ones. You’ll start by
repeating powerful statements to yourself. The more you do this,
the more positive your attitude will become. Your mind
will get used to thinking positively. In a sense,
you are changing the way your brain
thinks and reacts to things.
Creating Positive Affirmations
Creating positive affirmations yourself are more effective than using one someone
else wrote. Your mind is better at understanding and applying your own
work. Start by sitting in a quiet place without any distractions.
Grab a pen and a notebook. Title your page “What do
I want to be like”. Focus your thoughts and be
honest. Write down a list of qualities
that you want to have.
Here’s some examples to help you get started: “I want to be confident”, “I wish I
was better at sales”, “I want to help the poor out”, “I want to live a healthy
life”, “I want to be happy”. Write as many things as you can think
of. What you’re doing here is identifying what you think
your weaknesses are. Positive affirmations
help you get what you want instead
of focusing on just wanting it.
After you finish, look through your list. Everything you wrote is what you believe
you don’t have yet. For example, if you wrote “I want to be confident” that
means you think you’re not confident right now. Now lets create
your positive affirmations. Change everything on your list
to sound as if you already have it. Instead
of using “I want to be confident”
put “I am confident”.
Using Positive Affirmations
Congratulations on creating your positive affirmations. It wasn’t that hard, was it?
So now how do you use them? Spend at least fifteen minutes a day saying
the positive affirmations to yourself. I prefer saying them out
loud. To make it more effective, close your eyes and
visualize yourself having that quality. Feel
and believe that it’s real. Fifteen
minutes is the minimum.
After a while you’ll reprogram your brain to react as if you’re already the way you
wanted to be like. For example, if you “wanted to help the poor more” you
have brainwashed yourself to believe you “do help the poor more”.
Next time you see a homeless person, you’re likely to
give them change because you believe you do
help them instead of just wanting
to help them out.
Positive affirmations are very powerful. They help you turn your weaknesses into
strengths. Using these positive statements changes your style of thinking
from “absence” to “abundance”. You program your subconscious
mind to believe that you already are who you want to
become. That’s the only way you can be that
person. Turn the future to RIGHT
NOW and live happily!

Hello Faizal. Thank you for the wonderful post. It’s very powerful and simple to use this technique. You emphasize on the importance of using these affirmations in the form of having the quality already. That’s what you need to shift the mindset. I’ve been using positive affirmations to push me through life when things aren’t looking so good. It gives me the ability to stay focused. Thanks again.

Don,
I’m pleased to hear you enjoyed my website. We live this life once so every moment should be enjoyed.
My inspiration comes from realizing the power I have within me. It was a while back when I decided that my intention is to be very successful and help as many people as I can along the way. All I did was hold this vision in my mind and my life started fitting together like a puzzle. Opportunities to become successful showed up in my life and I took action. BeTrulyHappy.com also came in my life as an opportunity to help others. So just having this one CLEAR intention gave me all the opportunities I needed.
Now I can help others realize that they have the same power with them. They can do whatever they put their minds too no matter what their current situation. Everyone has this in them and it needs to be brought out.
That’s the mission of BeTrulyHappy.com. Please help letting others know of my website.
Thank you!
