Use affirmations for a complete and holistic life

Practicing affirmations involves regularly repeating positive statements about yourself to challenge and overcome negative thoughts or self-doubt. Here are some steps to effectively practice affirmations:

Identify Negative Beliefs: Start by identifying the negative beliefs or self-doubts you have. Knowing what you want to change will help you create specific affirmations.

Create Positive Affirmations: Transform your negative beliefs into positive, present-tense statements. 

Make Them Personal and Specific: Use "I" statements and be as specific as possible.This does add value to our thought process.

Keep Them Realistic: Ensure your affirmations are believable. If they are too far-fetched, your mind might reject them. Gradual improvements are more effective.

Use the Present Tense:This makes us believe in it more. Belief is after all what we need..This is an important factor to incorporate.

Repeat Regularly: Consistency is key. Keep doing them again and again. 

Visualize: While repeating your affirmations, visualize them being true. Imagine how you would feel and behave if the affirmations were your reality.

Write Them Down: Writing your affirmations can reinforce them. You can keep a journal, sticky notes, or use a digital device to display them.

Speak firmly with complete conviction and belief as many times as possible.

Be Patient: Changing thought patterns takes time. Hold on for results. Just like an exam paper affirmations are also like the exam of life itself, after all. We need to remember this.

Use Affirmation Tools: You can use apps, recordings, or join groups that focus on positive affirmations for additional support.

Here's a simple daily affirmation routine to get started:

Morning Affirmations:

Stand in front of a mirror, smile, and repeat your affirmations out loud.

Spend a few minutes visualizing your affirmations as reality.throughout the Day:

Whenever you catch a negative thought, counter it with a positive affirmation.

Keep your written affirmations in places you frequently look at (like your workspace, car, or phone background).

Evening Affirmations:

Reflect on your day and any progress made.

Say your affirmations  before going to bed, helping to embed them in your subconscious mind.

Doing all this regularly does add value to our lives, maybe slowly but surely shall take effect when we do this with faith and tenacity.

Life itself is a process of many ups and downs. We need to ensure we add affirmations always whatever the situation outside is, This does make us stronger from within therefore reflects in all areas of our lives, Let us not delay but begin doing rthis immediately as this is after all in our control. We need to add this in our list of things to do to ensure we never succumb to the negative but add value to the positive. For thoughts become actions and this then becomes who we are. Surely this is worth doing in the rat race of life that makes us follow the race and never look within.  Within is the only place that empowers us so its worth pursuing with positive affirmations.
