Daily Affirmations

Feeling down on yourself?  Here are a few simple affirmations to pick you right up!

Affirmations are powerful tools to keep you feeling positive, motivated and upbeat. Start clearing your head of negative thoughts and emotions with these simple yet powerful messages. Speak them into existence and watch your life transform.

You can be, do, or have anything you set your mind to.  The Bible tells us that: When you make a decision and declare it, it will be carried out and the light will shine on your life. All you have to do is "think higher and feel deeper".

Soon, you will start to vibrate on a higher altitude that is bound to change your attitude, thus, your life... Pick anyone of these to start, or create your own.

Before You Begin:

First, find a quiet moment and relax your breathing and your body. Then close your eyes and let go of any or all expectations you have of yourself and/or others. Next, put yourself in the mind frame and vibrational energy you want to feel. Now, fill your belly with air like a balloon, from your nostrils. Hold for few seconds allowing the fresh air to circulate in the womb. After a few seconds, expel the air out slowly through pursed lips; while squeezing your kegel until your bellybutton touches your spine. Stay focused on the rise and fall of your belly. You may choose to use visualization as you wish. Repeat the breathing exercise until you feel completely relaxed. Slowly open your eyes and come back to reality. Begin reading/repeating your chosen affirmations.

How to create your own affirmations:

• Always use the personal pronoun “I, to make it more personal.
• Use positive action words such as: (I can… I am… I choose… I deserve…) 
• Keep it present as if it is your current reality... (e.g.: I am in good physical health. *even if you are not*) The trick is to re-program your mind and change your mindset. Remember, what you think, you become.
• Turn your negative statements into positive ones. (No more: I can't, I don't, I am afraid...)
• Choose affirmations that are best for the moment. 
• Write down your affirmations and post them where you can see them on a daily basis. 
• Say them out loud at least once a day on a regular basis. Look at yourself in the mirror and smile while repeating them.

Affirmations are encouragements for the soul. Use them daily to invite feel good psyche and get what you want out of life.
