Affirmations
‘…emotional support or encouragement.’ I really like the synonym, ‘Proclamation.’ It has power! ‘The King or Queen has made a ‘proclamation’ to be heard and heeded throughout the land!’
Positive affirmations are proclamations repeated to the self to support and affect change in beingness; a behavioral and attitudinal shift for the betterment of ourselves.
It is thought that the mind will believe anything if it is heard often enough. For example, as children we may have heard repeatedly that we are not smart, we are dummies. This message becomes hard-wired into part of who we believe we are. As adults, we struggle to overcome this self-image.
There are many books, cards, and Cd’s available to assist us with this process. One I like, Create the Best Life Ever Cards, by Taylor Wells, author of the book, Create the BEST LIFE EVER, are big flashcards with affirmations on both sides of each card. “I know the power of my being.” Flip side is, “I am strong.” Another proclaims, “I am sure of myself.”, the other side states, “I am peaceful.”
Whatever method you may choose to use positive affirmations as a tool for personal growth, I invite you this week to explore the possibilities.
