The Power of Positive Thinking and Daily Affirmations

Have you noticed that people are already starting to get a sour face when you mention positive thinking?

How did it acquire such a bad reputation so quickly?

My question would be: Has the people that are turning their heads the other way, tried affirmations or positive thinking?

And, Do you think the same person that rolls their eyes at the idea of "positive thinking" is the same person who truly tried "thinking positively"?

Here is what I say.

I challenge anyone to commit to producing you own present powerful affirmations, listen to the them daily, write them daily and think only mostly positive thoughts and see how your perspective of life and your experience of it changes.

You can read some of my other posts, "What are affirmations and why do they work?" and "5 simple ways to make your own powerful affirmations".

Here is the dilemma. It takes practice and retraining of the mind to think positively. It doesn't happen over night.

If you can tell me how to change every single thought I have into a positive wonderful thought over night, tell me how, and I will owe you a fortune.

Until then, training the mind to think positively through affirmations is one of the best ways I have found to truly impact the quality of life.

Hypnotherapy is another way that works but requires some investment as affirmations do not.

The bottom line is that, you have to remove your negative beliefs and not only think positively but in order to "live" authentically positive and attract preferable circumstances to you, you must have and create BELIEFS that are positively aligned with what you want.

If you can reprogram your mind to have positive beliefs about yourself and your life, I personally guarantee it will dramatically change your experiences in life.

Unfortunately there is no over night fix, it takes time and dedication to do this.

But its exciting, and as you start to release negative beliefs and adapt more positive powerful ones you will feel your life changing and beautiful shifts within your perception.

I am personally addicted to reprogramming my beliefs and subconscious mind, the process is inexpressible.

You should try it sometime. ;o)

What are affirmations and why do they work?

I am not a scientist or doctor but I will describe what affirmations are to me!

Take it or leave it.

Through out the years of focusing on personal growth and development, it became evident that no matter how much you worked on some "issues" and how much you focused on it them, you always seem to fall back into old habits.

I know I sure do. And it can be frustrating and confusing.

But why does this happen?

From everything I have studied and experienced here is a short version of what I have learned.

Our minds are built on everything experienced in the past. Our upbringing, childhood, and all other past experiences have built certain beliefs that we operate from daily.
Some of these beliefs can hinder or even prevent us from obtaining things we want today.

Without going into a long drawn out explanation. If you believe you were meant to be fat, or you don't deserve a good partner or life is always hard for you this is what will be true for you.

This is what you will experience, this is what your mind searches for and looks for.

AND IT WILL FIND ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT SUPPORTS THAT BELIEF.

No matter how hard you work at changing your habits or patterns you must change the belief that causes those habits and patterns.

Affirmations can be one way to do that! Yes, this is just one tool you can utilize to transform your beliefs. But it is one of the most powerful tools I have come across.

If you have a belief that life will always be hard. Create a positive affirmation to counter that negative or limiting belief. Such as "Good things come easy to me" "Good things always happen to me", "I love my life", etc...

Think of it as weeds and flowers. Your positive beliefs are flowers and your negative beliefs are weeds. Water (your thoughts, writing, affirmations, etc.) the flowers, not the weeds.

Every time you repeat a positive present affirmation, you care fertilizing that flower.

Here is the problem, every time you think, write, say, anything negative, you are watering that weed!!!!!!

"Watering" the flower makes it stronger!
As the flower becomes stronger than the weed, what info/experiences do you think your mind is looking for and supporting?

So what do you think you will start experiencing?

As you start to change your perception the "weed" will slowly wither away, it will gradually have less and less "water" to keep it alive and will eventually die.

This can be a slow process depending on how deeply ingrained the negative beliefs are. Although some limiting beliefs could be changed rather quickly.

However if you think of every thought, every action of either watering a "weed" or a "flower" you will see change immediately.

And why would you want to spend one more second "watering" a "weed" that makes you feel bad?

Every single time you say, write, or think positive powerful affirmations you are planting "seeds" of empowerment in that area of your life.

Pretty soon those affirmations become automatic beliefs which you will eventually truly believe about yourself and your life.

And remember
"Whatever you believe, is true for you"
"Your thoughts create your reality"


How many years have you spent watering those "weeds" and most of the time automatically?

I think its time to plant some flower then water them, because you deserve to be happy!

Leaving you with this:
"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."
