The Power of Positive Affirmations...

"As I love myself, I allow others to love me too."

This is an example of a positive thinking affirmation.

And you'll find more affirmations, below, together with a guide on how to create your own.

Because, quite simply, your thoughts create your world!

And, via the use of affirmations and 'thoughts that feel good', your world can be a place where your own greatness is encouraged rather than ignored.

That's what I say, anyway - love to hear your thoughts, too!

Positive affirmations - what I say...

Well, I'm going to admit right now to not having great experience with positive affirmations. I understand the purpose of affirmations - a power of positive thinking, as it were - and I also appreciate that there's a right way and a wrong way to do them! But that's about it, really.

So I am certainly no expert practitioner, but I do believe that positive affirmations work!

Anyway, that's why I've enlisted the help and wisdom of Cristina Diaz from The-Benefits-Of-Positive-Thinking.com. Cristina knows all about positive thinking, positive attitude AND... affirmations, and her article shows us all the 7 key elements to build successful affirmations that work! (Actually, Cristina's so clever that she can do her affirmations in 2 languages, depending on what she feels is most likely to work for her! Wow!)

I do have some general positive affirmations for you, though, if you already know how to do affirmations and just want to find an affirmation that's right for you, today. Oh, and The Self Suggestion Kit website is a great place to stop by to teach you everything you need to know about positive manifestation!

7 Key Elements For Successful Affirmations

Positive affirmations - what Cristina Diaz has to say...

Positive affirmations are a wonderful tool to effect change in any area of our lives. Affirmations do work, but if you're new to affirmations you may not know where to start.

Here is a quick guide of seven key elements that you can use to build good affirmations:

1. Style. There are different types of affirmations: "I am healthy"; "My aspiration is to be healthy"; "I intend to be healthy". Different styles may make more sense than others depending on how close you think you are to achieving what you state: for example, if you feel you're very far from being wealthy, "My aspiration is to be wealthy" may work better than "I am wealthy", which is much more bold.

2. Positive. Make sure you state your affirmations in a positive way. If you don't know how to find the positive way to state what you want, look for the opposite of what you don't want: for instance, if you don't want to have a sore back, state "My back is perfectly healthy and supports my body fully".

3. Present. State your affirmations in the present tense: "I have perfect vision". If you use "will", as in "I will enjoy complete peace", the peace that you look for will remain in the future and out of reach.

4. Meaningful words. Use words that mean something to you and that you charge with emotion: feel the difference between "I am healthy" versus "I enjoy amazing good health". Choose the words that feel uplifting to you. If you're bilingual, choose the language in which the affirmation "touches" you more.

5. Belief. Just how much do you have to believe your affirmations for them to become a reality? Simply 51% is sufficient to tip it over to the positive side. It is also easier to believe your affirmations if you choose words that appeal to you and that create a positive feeling in you.

6. Repetition. Repeat your affirmations several times daily. It works well for me to read them in the morning when I get up, before going to sleep, and in spare moments I may have during the day, as when waiting in a queue. You can write your affirmations on a piece of paper so that you can read them anywhere.

7. Letting go. While you're doing affirmations because you want to create something in your life, the best attitude to have is one of detachment from the actual results: once you've read your affirmation let it go, rather than keeping a feeling of "needing" that the affirmation manifests.

Play with different combinations of style, words and repetition to discover what works best for you - it is very important that you tailor-make your affirmations to suit your own preferences.

The "secret" for quick manifestation of what your affirmations state is to repeat them as if what you affirm had already come true. It is much more powerful to say an affirmation and feel that you have achieved what you state than saying it from a feeling of lacking.
