What I Learned Today #4: AFFIRMATIONS!

Hello good people of Steem society!

I want to talk to you about positive affirmations, and how they work for me.

Affirmations are New Age and New Thought terminology, refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment. It's always a "touchy" subject when people talk about it, because it looks too simple to be true, and so many discard it like gibberish.

I am not one of those people who would dismiss anything before trying, and so a few years ago I did try. On some silly things, like always having a parking spot, or having good weather on vacation. And it worked! I didn't repeat it daily, like you should with affirmations. But it seemed so small and simple, that I convinced my self that it was true, and it became true.

Than, I tried it on bigger scale, like looking for love or finishing collage, being healthy. And little by little it became my everyday practice to think positive most of the time. I can't say that I don't get angry or negative, but those feelings last short and I overcome them with ease.

The trick is to make an affirmation in present tense. "I always find a perfect parking spot", for example. And behave like it's already true. It will be strange in the beginning, and your brain will argue with you, but don't give up and start with something small.

If you need evidence of affirmation working in everyday life, just look around. Take 5 people for example, listen to what they talk about the most, and then compare it to their lives. Ones who talk about money, have more money, ones that talk about debt have more debt, ones that talk about sickness are not healthy.
The thing is the more you talk about something, the more you focus on it, the more of it you will manifest in your life. That's where affirmations play a great role, you say them every day, like it's already true, and it becomes true.

Thank you for visiting, you should try it, it's free and only good things can come out of it for you!

Till next time!
Bye!
