Using Affirmations for Happiness & Confidence
I am smart. I've got this. I can, I will, watch me!
3 simple affirmations that I use daily for a positive mindset during challenging and difficult times. Affirmations are a wonderful way to create positive shifts within our mindset and ourselves overall. It takes being intentional with your practice of using affirmations to realize the power that they truly have over our thoughts and our actions.
This episode is for you if you’re ready to learn about the power of affirmations and how you can implement them into everyday life!
3 Ways to Use Affirmations
- Write seven to ten words that best describe your natural gifts and talents. Once you have your list of words, you're going to create I am statements for each word. I am smart. I am pretty. I am fun… whatever it is for you on that list. You're going to read them out loud twice a day for at least 21 days more on this later. And when you have a negative thought about yourself, you're going to choose one of these I am statements to remind yourself of your unique and positive qualities.
- Create an affirmation to support you in keeping on track with a specific goal. Reference that affirmation daily, no matter what you’re doing, always keeping your eye on that goal.
- Choose one word or a two word story to become your guiding mantra affirmation for the year.
Using these affirmations can help to make your life much simpler!
5 Tips to Ensure Success When Using Affirmations to Create Positive Change
- Be consistent by practicing your affirmations daily. Twice for 21 days.
- Be positive by phrasing your affirmations in a positive light with positive wording.
- Be present by only using present tense affirmations.
- Be personal by tailoring your affirmations to your specific needs and goals.
- Be emotional by tapping into the emotions connected with the affirmations that you’ve chosen.
Your Dare for the Week
I'm daring you to create an affirmation to guide you through the rest of 2024. Think about what you either want to be, do or have throughout the next months. And how do you want to feel throughout the next months of 2024? Will it be an affirmation for a specific goal, a feeling you wish to evoke, or simply an I am statement just to remind yourself of how amazing you truly are?
Then, I want you to share that dare with me!
