Positive thinking/affirmations can change our lives.

The greatest power is self-love.

My spirit is pure love

Dr Darren R.Weissman

 

As we all know, our lives are full of ups and downs. A couple of years ago, the downs visited/attacked me and  I was shattered physically and mentally. I was totally stressed and anxious by low self-esteem and endless depression. All seemed to be going wrong and out of my control. I couldn’t stand myself as I believed that all was my faults.  It sounds bad, doesn’t it? Yes, it was quite bad. I was desperate to find any way to get out of the stress and depression and luckily I was introduced Louise Hay and her positive philosophy through one of my good friends.

Simply what she says (how I understood) is practicing positive thinking and affirmation can change our inner thoughts unconsciously and the inner thoughts can change our lives. Did I believe it? Yes, I did believe the principle of her philosophy but I was not really convinced to try it. But I didn’t have any other options so I tried it. While I was driving, while I was running on a treadmill, while I was feeling down... I tried to read out the affirmations. I guess I was looked bit weird to others around but I didn’t have enough energy to look after someone else’s opinions. So, guess what? It worked! I could see/feel that I was slowly back to myself. I do love myself and my life. Every morning I truly appreciate how beautiful life I have.

That’s the reason why I want to share this magic with you. I know that some people will be sceptical about this and I do allow them to disagree. What can be all “RIGHT” to everyone?

So let’s try...  

Please let me give you some tips from my personal experience to get better result.

1.       Have a faith in what your are saying ;  Affirmation is a declaration that something is true (in Wiktionary) so trust what you say.

2.       Do it in front of mirror or imagine talking to yourself.

3.       Read slowly (breath in/out between affirmation)

4.       Do it on a regular basis (Daily affirmation, the more often the better at the beginning).

Here are 20 affirmations ( by Louise Hay) I like to use when I am stressed and in blue. Hope this helps you, too.

An affirmation opens the door. It's a beginning point on the path to change. Every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation. Use these daily affirmations and create joyful, abundant life experiences with every word and thought. (Louise Hay)
