You can choose to read the entire article or skip to your section of interest through the table of contents below:
Whenever you find yourself indulging in any negative thoughts and emotions or stuck in life’s challenges, you can use certain positive affirmations to transform your mental and emotional state immediately and begin to overcome those challenges.
The more powerfully you say an affirmation with absolute belief and faith, the more powerful the impact it will have on your life.
Having said that, let me mention that as you begin to use the affirmations that we’ll go through in a bit, you may or may not feel quite as certain regarding some of them.
It might even feel a bit uncomfortable and unusual to say some of the affirmations out loud, but that is totally natural and okay in the beginning.
The more regularly you repeat those affirmations, the more it will sink in and the more faith and certainty you’ll develop as you get better at it every day.
Do Positive Affirmations actually work?
Many people seem to be a bit skeptical about affirmations and might consider them unpractical, but what’s the reality?
Do affirmations really work?
The reality is, we’ve been using affirmations for thousands of years. Every major religion has some form of affirmations. Words and phrases that are mindfully repeated every day to program ourselves for the desired outcome, whether it be getting closer to God and attaining inner peace & tranquility, or protection from unwanted things.
The words we consistently speak has a direct impact on our subconscious mind. In essence, we program our subconscious mind with anything that is said or done repeatedly.
A Research study published in 2013 by J. David Creswell (& colleagues), shows that Self-Affirmations can greatly reduce stress and enhance our problem-solving ability, even in people who tend to be more stressed than usual.
Another study published in 2014 by S. Katherine Nelson (& colleagues) from the University of California suggests a noticeable improvement in the quality of lives of people who used affirmations daily.
The participants who used affirmations every day for several weeks noticed a significant enhancement in their overall Well-Being and flow of life. They experienced a more meaningful and satisfying life.
The effect of Affirmations on our subconscious mind
The quality of our life is directly influenced by how our minds are programmed. A person whose mind is programmed for positivity, creativity, solution-seeking, and productivity will definitely live a life that will be in stark contrast compared to someone whose mind is programmed for negativity, blaming, and victimization.
BUT HERE’S THE CATCH…
We can REPROGRAM OUR MINDS so that we reap the quality of life that we desire.
And the good news is…
Reprogramming the mind can be very simple and straightforward. Just remember TWO fundamental things:
- Positive and empowering Suggestions/commands for your subconscious mind.
- Repetition of those suggestions/commands to strengthen and reinforce the new pattern and break the old ones forever.
Affirmations play the role of giving suggestions and commands for the subconscious mind to adopt and operate on. And since repetition is the key to reinforce these positive commands, we must read or say the affirmations out loud regularly and make it a consistent habit.
So we are essentially reprogramming our minds are we say certain affirmations regularly.
How easy is that!
(by the way, I would recommend that you bookmark the link to this article or put a shortcut to it on your home-screen so that you can go through the affirmations frequently whenever you want to.)
How long do Affirmations take to work?
Well, it depends on how long you want it to take. The more you read and say these affirmations attentively with absolute belief, the faster and stronger impact they will have.
If you read these affirmations mindfully, briefly concentrating on each one, letting it sink inside your mind, body, and soul, you should feel a drastic change IMMEDIATELY!
As you go through this list of positive morning affirmations, you’ll find that by the end of it, your mental and emotional state will have completely changed for the better. (God-Willing)
And as you continue to do it every day, you’ll be reinforcing this positive change as it becomes permanent.
How do you choose the right affirmations for yourself?
Below are multiple lists of affirmations that cover several different areas of life which will hopefully help you overcome a variety of problems and life challenges.
Go through all of them once as you read it for the first time, then if you like you can select those that are most relevant to you. Ideally, though, I would encourage that you don’t miss out on any.
Notice which affirmations impact you the most.
How many times should you repeat affirmations?
The more the better. There is no fixed value to it. But since I have named them “Morning Affirmations”, I would suggest that you go through them at least once in the morning, every day.
Morning is an amazing time and our mind is exceptionally receptive during the early hours of the day. Plus, it’s a good addition to start your day off on a positive note and taking all this positive energy into your day ahead.
