An affirmation is a specific type of mantra which
often begins with the phrase, 'I am', or ‘I feel’.
It is a positive statement of fact, which you may
not at first believe to be true; but repeated daily, will help you to internalise the
feeling, and live and breathe the belief. It helps you to act 'as if' something is true, until the words become
your reality.
Every philosophy of positive thinking,
manifesting, or the law of attraction, includes a belief in the absolute power
of affirmations, to help overcome limiting beliefs and change your mindset; or
to help you manifest what you want in life.
Some of the most popular self-development
authors, such as Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Gabriella Bernstein, and classic books
such as ‘The Secret’, all emphasise the importance of using affirmations to
change your life, and give some great examples of powerful affirmations.
Although many of Louise Hay’s affirmations do not start
with ‘I am’, they express a positive feeling that opens your heart up to a
new belief, such as:
Life loves me!
As I say yes to life, life says yes to me.
I welcome miracles into my life.
One
of my favourites from Louise Hay is, ‘I choose to make the rest of my life,
the best of my life’.
There are many other books containing ideas of powerful
affirmations, from classic texts such as ‘A Course in Miracles’, to
international phenomenon, ‘The Secret’, to recent bestseller, ‘You are a
Badass’ by Jen Sincero.
Once
you find an affirmation that works for you, why not have it engraved on one of
our myMantra Necklaces, to enable you to carry it with you and
wear it always? It can act as a secret message to yourself, to help you cheer yourself on, and summon your inner strength.
Here,
myself and Pallavi give a personal view as to how using affirmations have
changed our lives.
