Affirmations
Starting Affirmations: The words that we speak over ourselves and over our lives create our lives. I recommend using these examples to help inspire you to write your own affirmations in the positive, in the present, and in the first person. Here are 10 affirmation examples in the top 7 life categories to get you started. I also highly recommend that you record your affirmations in your own voice, as doing so, gives you the chance to hear your own affirmations, in your own voice, speaking back to you. If you find that a particular affirmation feels too disconnected from where you are now, please add “I am learning to OR I am learning that” to the beginning of the statement to create a bridge between where you are and where you are heading. (From the book Super Sparkly Everything by Maria Milagros Vazquez)
Reticular Activating System:
This part of the brain helps us find evidence of whatever we focus on.
When we shift our stories- our mindset, attitude and energy to the possibilities, to the positivity and to our potential, we activate this part of the brain to find evidence that supports that focus. Affirmations help reinforce that focus.
Use your reticular activating system in your favor by aligning your thoughts and words with the future and life you want to create.
