The power of affirmations is highly underestimated. How can one really achieve something by merely repeating a few sentences to the self again and again? Fair point, but you can’t know unless you try it for yourself. We are just a few hours away from stepping into a new year. It is the best time to test the power of affirmations and begin your new year with a positive attitude.
Affirmations are a great way to stay focused on achieving everything you have wanted in life. This can be anything right from wanting a calm mind to getting that dream job. When you keep repeating to yourself what you want, you don’t let yourself forget it and instead start taking steps towards achieving it. Affirmations are a way positive way of talking to yourself.
While affirmations are different for each person, there are some common ones which everyone can adopt. You can start with the following affirmations:
I am going to be kind and gentle with myself
I am going to improve and take steps towards success
I am going to be mindful of my expenses and finances
I am going to practice healthy living
I am grateful for this life and everything it has given me
I believe in myself, my talents, and my abilities
I am going to create a life that feels good to me
I will continue to have faith and trust regardless of what happens
I will let go off the things that affect my mental health
You can have your own affirmations which can be more specific to you and your goals. Note these down on a big piece of paper and hang it somewhere in your house where it can be easily visible.
Practice these affirmations daily either in the morning before starting your day or before going to bed at night. Now is a great time to start with it!
