    Positive Affirmations

    Positive self-affirmations are healing, positive scripts you give to yourself to counter your negative inner voice. They can help you free yourself from the over-dependence you have on other people’s opinions, attitudes, or feelings about you and help you feel good about yourself.
    When you visualize a new order and sense in your life, you can work toward a more positive attitude and take responsibility for your own health and emotional stability. You will let go of negative emotional baggage and be able to deal with your life in a realistic and positive manner.
    Positive self-affirmation will help you resolve negative feelings from the past so you can face the present with a less obstructed view. In doing this, you will give yourself permission to grow, to change, to take risks, and to create a better life for yourself.
    You will take a healthy self-oriented route in your life so that you can let go of the people and thoughts that drain your emotional resources and keep you from experiencing full personal health. When you recognize that you have a right to be a healthy and happy human being, you will have a fighting change at achieving your full potential.
    Success prophecies, when visualized, imagined, or believed in, do come true. It’s time for you to believe that fully. This is how positive affirmations can affect you and your inner being. The biggest plus is that the negative inner voice will be quieted allowing you to find the positive inner voice that will help you become a fully happy individual.
    There are three areas of self-affirmations. Try using any of these statements the next time you are feeling that negativity come over you.

    I am: A statement of who you are

    I am a good person I am trusting
    I am caring I am generous
    I am loving I am courageous

    I can: A statement of your potential
    This is a positive affirmation of your ability to accomplish goals. It is a statement of your belief in your power to grow, to change, and to help yourself. Examples include:

    I will: A statement of positive change in your life

    The daily use of these "I'' statements is another form of self-affirmation designed to counter negative self-concept. It can result in a positive attitude, optimism, and can motivate you toward emotional growth and progress.
    Another good way to focus on the positive in your life is to make up some affirmation cards and place them in places where you will see them often.

    These forms of affirmation are words, phrases, or statements written on 3 x 5 index cards and placed where you can see them daily and be reminded of positive aspects about you. Every time you see these affirmation cards they will remind you to affirm yourself about these positive qualities or attributes. State all affirmations in a positive way.

    mirror on dresser desk at office
    closet door desk at home
    refrigerator door in your wallet
    front door in your brief case
    bedroom door in books you use at work or school
    at your telephone
    Try some of these words to put on your affirmation cards:
    bright capable
    creative strong
    intelligent beautiful
    smart giving
    quick peaceful
    loving hopeful
    caring responsible
    successful problem solver
    calm quiet
    pretty handsome
    relaxed enjoyable
      Consider some of these phrases as well:
    think happy take it easy
    be calm think wisely
    take action work smart
    do it take the time
    do it now have fun
    be a winner relax and enjoy
    take a risk sit back
    dare to be different step back
    seize the blessing take the lead
    get in control give them space
    let go believe in me
    let them be trust in me
    let it be enjoy good health
