Welcome back from the Dream Reality Team!
Last blog we spoke about your mindset and how it can be changed through the powerful use of affirmations. So without further delay lets delve into the exciting world of affirmations!!!
What is an affirmation?
Google’s definition of the word “affirmation” appears as “a statement asserting the existence or the truth of something”. Whilst this definition is concise, it instantly creates imagery in my mind of how affective it can be in developing a change in mindset.
To enable a change in mindset, the affirmation must reflect upon a goal you want to achieve in your life and be written in a positive way. The goal can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be, however it must be something you are truly passionate about to enable a change in your mindset.
For example: Affirmations can be based on anything: from learning to be calmer to getting that job you have always wanted. To understand positive affirmations a little more watch the video below on Powerful Affirmations.
Why are affirmations powerful?
Many people might think (Just as I used to): how can a statement change my life? However, passing an affirmation off as a mere “statement” can potentially be the worst mistake to make, and hold you back from reaching your goals. Taking the time to understand, develop and implement your personal affirmations can truly change your mindset and your whole life as well!
The distinct point to notice about an affirmation is the last part of the definition. An affirmation involves asserting the existence or truth of something.
Therefore, to make affirmations powerful as mentioned in last week’s blog “Mindset and affirmations”, the statement must be said out loud EVERYDAY with feeling to feed positivity and belief into your subconscious brain. When your subconscious brain receives this message everyday, your conscious brain will begin to allow you to act differently and “seek out” positive opportunities to achieve your goal in ways you might not have thought possible.
But how do I make my own affirmation?
Affirmations vary and developing your own is not always as easy as you think. However, there is a common six step practise to developing and implementing your own affirmation which will be covered across the following series of blogs.
Before the series begins, some preliminary action on your behalf must be taken. Think about your goals in life, and write them down. No matter how big or small the goal is, write it all down and develop a list of things you want in your life. Don’t rush, give yourself time and keep the list close by to you to always add new goals you get (and to cross off ones you achieve!). Knowing what you want out of life will help developing your own personal affirmation a lot easier!
In the next blog, the first of the six steps in developing your own affirmation will be discussed.
