Use Daily Affirmations To Change Your Life

The Daily Lift

Hello, this is Rick Taylar.

Welcome to The Daily Lift. A podcast that gives you the lift you need to have a great day, every day.

We get together every day to lift our spirits to a higher frequency so we can better our lives. So we can create the life we want, for ourselves and for those we care about.

Jack Canfield said “Your habits will determine your future.”

By following the actions in this podcast you will form new habits and build the future you want.

Today's daily reflection

Affirmations help us to develop a positive mindset and thus break down the barriers that negative thinking puts up in our day-to-day lives.

Positive affirmations remind us of the joy of life and affect our subconscious mind in order to grow our capacity to create our own successes and mold our own reality.

Method

The idea is to create a positive statement addressing a desire for change and repeat it daily.

Here are the steps

1. Begin by making a list of the areas of your life in need of improvement; nearly any arena can be positively affected by the use of affirmations, but for demonstrative purposes, we will create affirmations for anxiety and stress reduction.

2. Now create a list of positive statements that reflect this goal: “I am intelligent” instead of “I’m not dumb.”

3. The statements must be in the present tense; remember, you are trying to change your present situation, not the future. In our example, it is better to say “I am a calm person, free from worry” than “I will be a calm person, free from worry.”

4. You can choose to speak your affirmations. Repeat them throughout the day until they begin to take hold...and continue after that! Try to go over your affirmation first thing in the morning then around midday and again just before sleep.

Of course, repeat it in your mind all through the day as you think of it. The more times you repeat it, the faster it will become part of you.

Some people choose to speak their affirmations in the mirror while looking themselves in the eye because it magnifies the importance of the message.

You can even sing your affirmations! Just be sure to say them like you really believe them.

5. You can choose to write down your affirmations. You can write them over and over to imprint them on your mind, or you can write them on a card that you take out and look at throughout the day.
