Desiring change in your life or setting goals is easier by far to making change happen or achieving goals you have set. This process requires determination, appropriate attitude as well as a few tools you may find handy in getting the job done. One very powerful tool is daily affirmations, permitting these changes in your life to be more empowering and positive experiences. What is an Affirmation Anyhow? In some ways an affirmation is an antonym to a complaint - they're opposites. For example a complaint might be, "I'm always so darned tired." Whereas an affirmation might be, "I'm awake, alive, and full of energy." Affirmations represent goals we have and changes we desire. They're stated positively and in the present tense. There are no rules when it comes to the appropriateness of an affirmation, they can be spiritual, material or a combination of both. Some of us have the simple desire to be happy. While we want to embrace well-being, we realize how elusive it may be. Being tested by our day to day difficulties and challenges, not to mention our habits which have become deeply instilled within us, it is possible to achieve the opposite result instead. The path we follow to reach our goal of general happiness and well-being can be approached with ease when daily affirmations become part of our journey. You will find here a few affirmations extracted from the Ernest Holmes book, The Science of Mind, originally published in 1926. . - I am happy and complete today and forever. Within me is that which is Perfect and Complete. It is The Spirit of all Life, Truth, and Action. I am happy in the sure knowledge of the Inner Light. I cannot be sad or sorry, but must radiate Joy and Life, For Life is within me now. I am happy and complete. . - Perfection is already accomplished. I do not have to wait for the Perfect Life. I am that Perfect Life here and now. Today I express the Limitless Life of the All Good. Today I manifest my Completion in every part of me. Today I am saved. Here and now I am healed. Affirmations can be simple sentences to inspire and uplift you, not necessarily longwinded paragraphs. Here are some examples: - I am perfectly happy in mind, body and spirit. - I am radiant, happy and healthy. - I am a being of radiance filled with light and love. - I love and accept myself just the way I am. - I now express love to all those I meet. Creating Your Personal Affirmations What exactly do you want from life? Needless to say, this might be difficult to fathom for many people. Should this be your personal situation, simply ask yourself what it is you don't want, followed by the opposite of this to create your personal affirmation. It will sound something like, "I don't want to be affected by stress when at the workplace." The affirmation will become, "I feel at peace at all times no matter the circumstances around me, or what challenges I face. I know God will provide for my every need." Be sure to phrase your affirmations positively and in the present tense. Once you have your affirmation or affirmations, post them somewhere you will see them often. Suggestions include your bathroom mirror, your laptop or planner, or your journal. Repeat your affirmations at least three times a day and certainly when you're feeling particularly challenged. Eventually you'll have your affirmations memorized and repeating them will become second nature. A fantastic way to initiate this process is to choose daily affirmations designed to be embraced, as well as bring you a sense of happiness and well-being. Once you find the ball is rolling well, take time to consider tracking your affirmations beside the resulting changes in your life. This will enable you to evaluate other areas of your life which may require this same process, as you benefit from their practice in your life now.
