A New Look At Positive Affirmations

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I have just read an article on a study of Postive Affirmations. They now say that telling yourself things like “I am beautiful”, “I am a great person” and other “positive affirmations” is NOT the way to go. I read the whole article twice and I agree with them on the NEW way to do Positive Affirmation.

It’s more realistic.

It’s more believable.

It is much easier to do.

I have tried it, and it works!

Here’s how it works.

Instead of writing down, or look into the mirror and saying, “I’m a great person”, say “I am NOT a bad person!”

Today I wrote down my old affirmations in a new way. Below are the way I used to do my affirmations and the I do them NOW.

Then: “I am beautiful” Now: “I am NOT ugly.”

Then:”I am successful” Now:”I am NOT a failure.”

Then:”I am going to have a wonderful life” Now:”I will not settle for a mediocre life”

The theory behind this new way to do affirmation is that you affirm that you are NOT bad things. With Positive affirmations, people tend to set specific “Positive Affirmations” to such a high level that the pressure of attaining them or believing them is very hard. If you affirm that you are NOT bad things, or that you Won’t settle for less, etc, it is much easier to set goals and believe in these affirmations. By setting believable goals and attainable affirmations, your mind believes they are more with in reach. You set less pressure upon yourself. You attain your goals more easily and quickly.

Try it for 21 days and see what happens!!!
