Is your self-talk positive or negative?
Have you used affirmations before?
What is your morning routine?
“Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.”
Jim Rohn
Negative chatter affects us all in some way or another. Everything we do starts within the mind; our goals, our fears, our doubts and all our beliefs & limitations, start with the mind. The mind is a powerful tool, as Author James Allen said “As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.” Your thinking controls your behaviour.
Today’s tool is “Self – Affirmations”
If you are what you think, ask yourself these two questions:
What do you think about everyday?
Do you like the results of your thoughts? (Great news if you don’t, you can change it)
What is Affirmation?
Self-Affirmations are positive statements that an individual says out loud on a regular basis, to raise the level of “feel-good” hormones in your brain.
We can override negative messages that we tell ourselves through the use of Self-Affirmation. You may be thinking: Can this really work? Years of research has shown that what and how you think greatly impacts how you behave, so by replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, over time your thoughts and affirmations begin to change. By repeating the same positive self-affirmations over and over, we can reprogram our subconscious minds with positive messages that can remove or override negative ones.
