Read the set of related affirmations below aloud. It’s important to your conscious and subconscious mind to hear the affirmations said in your own voice. Choose one or two of the affirmations from the set to start working with. You only need one or two affirmations, used consistently, to make a substantial change in your life.
Choose one affirmation that feels easy to you and choose another that generates resistance or disbelief. The idea is to practice extending your current self-imposed limits and encourage growth.
Say your chosen affirmation loud enough for your mind to hear your voice saying the words and take notice of how you feel as you begin and as you continue your practice. Repeat your chosen affirmation multiple times a day for at least 30 days and reinforce your affirmation by writing it in your journal.
You can change your life by beginning an affirmation practice – using one or two favorite affirmations over the course of 30 to 60 days can permanently change your mindset and your life.
Positive affirmations are statements you create and repeat in order to alter your conscious and subconscious mind, break negative behavior patterns, and improve your life. You can put them to work in many areas of your life – the ones in this post focus on Personal Growth.
You can focus your will and your efforts on many areas of personal growth, but it’s best to choose one area and focus on it for 30 – 60 days, especially if you’re a newbie to using positive affirmations consistently. You are working to change your mindset and your self-talk, and that takes time.
When you read the group of affirmations aloud, certain ones will resonate more strongly with you. That means there’s something in the affirmation that you should pay particular attention to. They might touch on a sore spot with you, remind you of a goal you set previously, or tap on a dream you once chased. When you feel the reaction, give yourself the gift of time to explore that reaction. This doesn’t have to take hours, just minutes. Determine why you reacted the way that you did, and you may just have found the affirmation you need to focus on for the next few weeks.
Pay attention to your reactions – the unconscious ones are clues to what you need to pay attention to. Start slowly, reading through the affirmations, and then choose one or two (at most) to start working with. You can record them onto your smartphone and play them for you to hear multiple times a day, create a lock screen on your phone or computer to see them displayed in front of you, or choose another method of keeping them at the forefront of your mind.
