Affirmations are affirmations that help change the way we think and shape the future we want. But not only ... Affirmations are thoughts, words, feelings, emotions that each of us uses in everyday life. At the same time, as we all understand, we use not always positive, but also negative statements. So first of all, if you want to change your life for the better with the help of affirmations, then you need to use them only in a positive way.
So how does it work?
Think about what you are saying? Count how many times a day, for example, you or the people around you say the word "Nightmare !!!" and "Horror!!!" These words must be forgotten! Each time, instead of them, say "Hurrah!" If it’s difficult to do this out loud, you can say it to yourself. The main thing is to replace every negative impulse with a positive one.
Or, for example, the phrase of a surprised person “Wow!” doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all. Remember once and for all - "All to yourself." And only in this way, then well-being will follow you around.
Our thoughts and emotions shape our lives and remember that like attracts only like. Negative thoughts attract negative events into our lives, and fears and fears will certainly come true, since we ourselves have projected them. What you think about is what you become.
From the foregoing, we can draw a wonderful conclusion: “positive thoughts and emotions of love, happiness and pleasure will attract happy events and people we need into our lives.”
Well, for those who are convinced that this does not work. I will explain that affirmations may not work in only one case - if there is a conflict between what you say and who you really are. That is, if you think one thing, say another, and mean the third, then your guardian angels all the more cannot understand what you really want to receive. That is, if you say “I want a suitcase of money” every day, and the subconscious mind answers “Yeah, hee hee, now I’ll repeat it 10 more times and get two suitcases ... This theory does not work”, of course, nothing will work . Because there is no specific goal. There is a simple "I want".
The main thing is your positive attitude, the belief that everything will work out for you. First come to harmony within yourself, and you will immediately notice that the world around you has changed. Changed as much as you wanted.
So, first of all, any positive statement formulated in the present tense or as a fait accompli. Secondly, there should not be a “not” particle. Thirdly, it should be directed only to a good cause and in the name of goodness and love throughout the Universe.
And one more thing, not those desires that you think you want come true. And those that your subconsciousness really wants to fulfill. So, do not be surprised if what you so passionately wanted to come true, but were even afraid to think about it ...
Of course, I cannot fail to cite the example of the great Louise Hay, who is the founder of the theory of affirmations. Despite the fact that she was born into a very poor family, was bullied by others as a child and many other things that I will not talk about, she changed her life with the help of positive thinking, which became the essence of her life (those who wish can read her book, where she talks a lot about the path of this change). And everything that Louise Hay managed to achieve, she achieved without outside help through the active application of the method of positive thinking she mastered and even improved, which is based on her unique affirmations. This woman restored her ruined health on her own (she got rid of uterine cancer without drugs and operations, but only with the power of thought) and improved her destiny!
Another important note. Affirmations can change your life, so, first of all, think about whether it is worth changing the life that you have now. As the saying goes, don't fix what isn't broken. If you have firmly decided that you need change, like air, then go ahead. Great things are ahead of us.
Saying affirmations is an effective way to achieve your goal, happiness, love, inner harmony, health and well-being. Work with them every day, saying them out loud or to yourself, and the result will not keep you waiting!
And the last piece of advice, before you start using affirmations, ask forgiveness from yourself and your body for thinking badly about someone (especially about yourself) before, for having experienced negative emotions, and promise yourself from now on to think and speak only positively. And keep that promise.
When only positive thoughts, feelings and emotions fill your life, peace, mutual understanding, sympathy, the ability to forgive and, most importantly, love will come with them and stay with you forever.
I wish you to learn to see the good in everything you meet, and believe me, the world will answer you the same. Positive bright thoughts will guide you through life and open all doors for you.
Based on materials from the House of the Sun website.
For those who practice a tool called "affirmations", it will be interesting and useful to read this material and finally understand how all this works and why it doesn't work.
Today we find out 4 key rules for working with affirmations, which many do not know about and therefore do not believe in the power of affirmations.
Let's talk about:
- Do affirmations work?
- how to apply affirmations correctly, important skills;
- what is the power of affirmation;
- what are the best affirmations plus my personal selection of powerful affirmations.
And let's start by defining the word "affirmation".
Affirmation comes from the English verb "affirm", which means to affirm something, something that is true.
From this follows the essence of affirmations - everything that a person says and everything that he believes that this is so, what he believes in and is a kind of affirmation.
Endowed with powerful power, affirmations are given to help us change our beliefs, and therefore our reality.
Affirmations can be used in different ways.
- you can compose them yourself or combine already known affirmations with each other and thus derive your own;
- write / rewrite ready-made affirmations yourself and pronounce them yourself;
- listen to audio/video media.
The power of affirmation. Rule one.
When you say affirmations, it is extremely important to keep track of what is called underwater thoughts. These are thoughts that have a completely different meaning, not the one we would like.
For example, when you say a positive affirmation, resistance may appear inside, an internal protest and an undercurrent of your thoughts will say that this is not so, that this is absolute nonsense.
So the first rule is:
If you want affirmations to work effectively, watch your undercurrents of thought and ignore the thoughts that come up in the background or echo behind your affirmation.
The main thing here is to simply repeat affirmations and not pay attention to internal resistance and rejection, doubt, distrust. At first, this disbelief in affirmations will be and it just needs to be accepted.
It's important to really believe in them. The mind must agree that affirmations exist and they work. If there is a discrepancy between the mind and affirmations, this will not work and the expected effect will not come.
For example, if you accustom yourself to the idea that wealth is available to everyone and everyone, that you always have any amount and live for your own pleasure, then you don’t need to jump away from an expensive thing, look at it with envy, and even more so say to yourself: I will never be like this."
It is better to go to an expensive boutique and feel at home there. If you are embarrassed to think about money or pass by an expensive boutique again and envy that cool car, this means that your affirmations have not leaked into your reality in any way and have not changed your perception.
Remember!
Affirmations are designed to help us change reality and create new beliefs.
Their main mission is not just to cheer us up for five minutes, but to help us begin to perceive ourselves, the world, people and any situation that you are working on using this essentially powerful tool, affirmation.
Allow yourself to say/listen to the affirmations as many times as you need. Even if you just include them as a background, it will already be useful.
What happens when you work with affirmations?
You find yourself in a certain stream with those forces that begin to lead you along the path of least resistance. This is a high-speed lane where you will find a minimum of obstacles, a maximum of results and pleasure.
The affirmation method works.
If you believe in the power of affirmations, I offer you my selection. It is based on the affirmations of Louise Hay. For me, they are the best, easy to remember and really effective.

Affirmations of Louise Hay on the background of colorful, positive pictures
The power of affirmations- let's not ovation (something pulled me to poetry). It's time to write about another "tool" that is designed to help with . It must be admitted that the popularity of this topic is very serious (more than 50,000 requests per month according to Yandex). Is it such a cool tool and what is the reason for its popularity? Let's figure it out...
First you need to decide on the wording. An affirmation, in simple words, is a short saying, by repeating which you set your mind in a positive way (self-hypnosis).
Every time when it comes to methods of suggestion, I am reminded of the semi-joke about "magic healers". The session… The healer works with the “patient”, putting his hand on his head and repeating over and over again: “Get up and go… Get up and go… Get up and go…” Five minutes have passed, the “patient” can’t stand it and says: “Doctor, I I know how to walk, I would like to restore my vision 🙂 ... "
Why did I give such an example. I, like each of you (most likely), had not quite easy times in my life. Sometimes you walk down the street with the last two hryvnias in your pocket, but you radiate optimism, hold on proudly, playing the role of the person you want to be. Great…
After watching the movie "The Secret" and reading books about positive thinking, you are 100% sure that a miracle will happen to you in the near future: you will win the lottery, get an inheritance or a job of your dreams, on which you will not need to do anything, and money will flow like water . What leads to such arbitrariness...? To delay the inevitable.
The power of affirmations.
Let's take a look at the pros and cons of affirmations...
They have one plus, though quite weighty: Affirmations can serve as a “trigger” for starting or. Their role reminds me of spark plugs in a car engine - to give a spark, nothing more. Affirmations will help start your "action engine". It is only important to understand that if you sit and say affirmations all day long, the best thing that awaits you ahead is starvation (dark humor 🙁).
Now whoever needs to sit down, because I'm going to critique affirmations a bit.
- It must be admitted that affirmations carry a sufficient amount of self-deception. We inspire ourselves with something that is not really there. “Overdoses of self-deception” will eventually poison your life as positive thinking often runs counter to reality (we refuse or dare to accept reality). Not wanting to see the truth, you move away from the real you.
- Our life is a balance of positive and negative. The constant suppression of negativity with positive leads to the accumulation of negativity in “your body (and it is not excreted naturally 🙂”. What will happen next? The so-called “negative obesity.” I will give a not very pleasant example, but this equates to the fact that you are eat for days and don't go to the toilet, it will kill you.
- Sooner or later you will need to face the truth and accept it. The main thing is that after that it should not be excruciatingly painful for the aimlessly lived years.
- The most important thing in this life BE, NOT SEEM TO BE!!!
It is important to understand that affirmations may work in the short term, but they have nothing to do with the long term! Their biggest disadvantage is that people, like drug addicts, “get hooked” on them and lose touch with reality, trying to live their UNCONSCIOUS life “in a soap bubble of positive”.
Reviewing the notes of my trainings, I noticed one piece of wisdom:
The only reward you get for solving a problem is
Another big problem to be solved!
Stop... Read it again... And now tell me how to connect this statement with positive thinking? At first glance, in any way, but in this saying our whole life !!! What matters is the right attitude towards these problems. It's up to us to choose whether to see them as problems or as opportunities for growth!
I have repeatedly written about how I managed to reach the bar of 88 kg and maintain this figure for several years without any diets and obsessions about losing weight. When compiling for this year, I thought about a new bar. Looking at myself in the mirror (and to be honest), it was impossible not to notice the "extra" in the abdomen. Then I thought it would be nice to fix it.
This Friday (07/29/16) I decided to do a control weigh-in before training in the gym. And here she is the cherished figure of 85 and a half kilograms (with sneakers and clothes: naked, it was somehow inconvenient to hang down, at least in front of the girl at the reception 🙂). Now a new goal has been drawn: to keep this indicator at the achieved level. There is a lot of work to be done, but when for the first time in many years you see essays (so far only essays) of the upper six pack, then it's worth it, friends.
I conducted a large number of experiments that either helped me achieve my goals or threw me back, but the main thing I want to note: “It was not affirmations or visualizations that helped me in achieving, but a great Desire to change my life and persistent purposeful work !!!” Which is what I wish you.
P.S. If you have a desire to share with me the joy of achievement, you are welcome to write a couple of pleasant words in the comments. Believe in yourself and your abilities and you will definitely succeed!
P.S.S. Special thanks to those who write in the comments their opinion on the topic of affirmations: how it works for you and whether it works at all. Maybe an interesting story or case, whatever.
Thank you for your precious time spent in my company!!!
Sincerely, Andrey Zhulay.
I am often asked how I manage to always be in a good mood. I'll be honest - I'm human and I can't smile 24/7. But for me it is very important to fill myself with positive energy, just like watering a flower in an apartment.
The journey has been a long one, it continues, but the starting point was getting to know affirmations.
I realized that each of us has the power to change our thoughts, we just need to start using this power.
I will say even more, thanks to affirmations, I managed to cope with the fear of public speaking.
At first, I used ready-made affirmations. Then I learned to make my own.
affirmations help fill your head with love and not fear. Love leads to growth, fear turns it off.
But let's be honest. Life is not always rainbows and pink flamingos. There are many negativity, difficulties and problems in life (usually we create them ourselves.) Affirmations are not designed to get rid of suffering. This is not a magic pill that heals wounds.
Affirmations help rewire your brain so that look at things from a different angle. These are little reminders who we are and who we should be. We came into this world to be happy, not to complain, suffer and be unhappy.
Our beliefs are formed from childhood. And not always these beliefs help us to have a positive experience in life. Some limit our power and potential. Our thoughts either pull us back or help us grow and develop.
Our thoughts are our emotions.
Emotions are our actions.
In our head, we constantly scroll through the same scenarios and not always the ones that make us happy.
Here the choice is ours. Either we program ourselves, or we are programmed.
We have many fears. We worry about the future, for ourselves and for our loved ones. We are afraid to step out of our comfort zone, even when is in the comfort zone disgusting.
Everything we think about grows, so you need to think about what you want from life.
As the owner of the house turns on the light in the bathroom with one click, so do you, be the master of your life. Program yourself for success and create the energy of peace inside, because only in this state you can make effective decisions.
I have been using this technique for over 10 years and have dozens of stories to back me up that the technique works.
An affirmation is a positive affirmation that helps change the way we think and shape the future we want.
True, there is one moment.
Technology works when you work.
(any technique)
After listing my favorite affirmations, I'll cover how and when to use this technique.
13 affirmations to increase energy, faith and self-confidence:
I am healthy and full of energy.
I love and accept myself for who I am. I see beauty in myself and the world around me.
I'm ready to see things differently.
I decided to broaden my perspective and look at things from a different angle. Just like I turn a diamond and see reflections of light that I haven't seen before.

No danger. Everything is going well.
I can handle all my tasks with ease, confidence and grace. I have the courage to accept myself completely, even my shortcomings.
I'm safe. I trust life and the future. My future is bright and safe.
This is one of the biggest causes for concern. It is a gentle reminder that your needs will always be met, that life will always support you. Trust and be open to miracles that can happen to you.
I trust myself and my experience.
I always make the best decisions for myself. All decisions I make are for my own good.
I listen to my body - it knows what I need.

My past taught me a lot and gave me a lot of strength. Everything I have been through, good and bad, has been a preparation for this day for me, and therefore I can cope with all my tasks. Now I am very strong, I am stronger than I have ever been in the past. I am completely healed of my past. My mind is not disturbed by anything. It's my time to be happy.
It's my time to shine. I'm ready.

How to use affirmations
Use affirmations as a tool to boost your energy and brighten up your days. Remember that this is not about ignoring problems, but about reprogramming your brain to ask yourself: How can I look at this situation differently? What's good here? What is really true?
Everyone uses affirmations differently. Find what's right for you.
You can make a desktop wallpaper, make a list in a notepad or on your phone.
Play around, experiment, find what works for you. You can read everywhere and always until you believe in what you are saying with every cell of your body and see changes at the level of actions.
Create your own affirmations. To begin with, monitor your negative beliefs for some time.
Feel bad?
Write down the answer: what did you think before you felt bad?
And then instead of a negative belief, create a positive one. Necessarily use affirmations in a positive way and in the present tense. Repeat, repeat, create new ones. Over time, you will see the effect this work will have on your whole life.
And in the finale, wisdom from Luza Hay, who generously shared this technique with the whole world during her life: “Pronouncing affirmations is only part of the process. What matters most is what you do for the rest of the day and night. The secret to getting affirmations to work in your life is to set the stage for growth. Affirmations are like seeds planted in the soil. Bad soil, poor watering - poor growth. The more often you choose thoughts that make you feel good, the faster affirmations will work.
I so agree with this idea.
Now it's your turn: what are your favorite affirmations? I am always looking for new ideas for spiritual development.
Peace and positive vibrations to all!
With love, your wellness coach Olga Ryabushenko
21 days to learn how to keep your self-esteem in good shape
Short positive statements that, when repeated many times, release active energy of joy and optimism, are called affirmations. They are repeated several times so that the required image or attitude is fixed in the subconscious of a person. For a positive result, affirmations are pronounced like this: concentrating, with great interest and desire, with a confident voice.
Affirmations are practiced by representatives of various movements involved in self-knowledge and self-improvement. They are used by people who want to find the right mood for the best phenomena and events in their lives, improve the necessary skills and qualities, and achieve their goals. It is very convenient that this practice can be done anywhere at any time.
Surely, you had difficult cases when you needed to concentrate, gather reserve forces into a fist, throwing them to solve a complex problem. You repeated to yourself, like a spell: "I am strong, I can do it, I can do it." And, lo and behold, everything worked! What is the reason for this, the magic of repetitive phrases that contain great potential in their brevity? Confidence, self-confidence? One thing is for sure, it works!
Consider the reverse example as well. Often people themselves program themselves for failure, unconsciously repeating negative statements, giving in to a difficult task. Do you know this, my friend? Did you happen to talk on the topics: “I will be uninteresting to this gorgeous woman”, “I have no willpower, I will not go to the gym”, “I'm stupid, I won't get a promotion”, etc.? The subconscious, like Mayakovsky's baby son, does not know what is good and bad. It, like a sponge, accepts the information it receives as a dogma, which leads to events with a minus sign.
The visualization technique works on a similar principle. Consciously focusing on the repetition of the desired goal, you have the appropriate images. Through the bridge of consciousness, they go straight to the subconscious. Through this conscious process, you can change habits, deal with despair and helplessness, develop independence, improve health, even change your appearance.
I advise you to make it a rule to give yourself only positive attitudes. Positive thinking will bring you the desired benefits. Thoughts are a treasure that everyone has. Manage them properly.
How soon can you achieve the desired changes using this method, you ask? It depends on the scale of the goal itself, the time spent, faith and sincerity of feelings, the strength of your desire. Learn to accurately define your goals and patiently wait for their fulfillment.
Affirmations will not work if positive spirit, strong character and inner strength are only present in you for a few minutes when you repeat the settings. And the rest of the day you mope, think negatively, doubt. The desire to change your life for the better every day should become your inner core.
