A few minutes is all it takes to incorporate mindfulness and intention into your daily routine. With 365 daily thoughts, affirmations and prompts, "Everyday Affirmations" helps you start everyday with conscious inner dialogue and optimism. An affirmation is really anything you say out loud or think to yourself. We don’t realize it, but a lot of what we are usually saying, and thinking is more negative than positive – the problem with negative words and thought patterns is that everything we say and think determines our reality. Negative thoughts equal negative experiences: our words carry a vibration that is sent out into the world and bounced back to us. Negative words emit a low vibration, which means negative energy is always being sent back to you. We must re-teach our brains to think positive thoughts about ourselves and the world around us. Our brain believes what we tell it, whether real or imagined - so why not tell it that we are exactly who we want to be. Psychology Today writes, “After being studied extensively by social psychologists, self-affirmation has now just begun to receive attention. Repeated use of affirmations in a meditative state can help rewrite brain messages”. By going from negative thoughts to consistent, repetitive, positive thoughts, your brain chemistry will literally change and so will your life. I discovered the power of affirmations years ago and have never looked back...I am confident that when you see the enlightening changes in your day-to-day life, neither will you. Coupling positive affirmations with prompted journaling on the subject creates an experience of catharsis and clarity. Wake up, have your coffee, grab your journal and your copy of “Everyday Affirmations” and experience 365 days of positive change.
