Daily Affirmations For Well-Being and Happiness
Setting goals or desiring a change in your life is much easier than achieving goals or making change happen.
That requires determination, the right attitude and a few handy tools to get the job done.
Daily affirmations are a powerful tool which makes changing your life for the better a positive and empowering experience.
What are Affirmations? In some ways an affirmation is an antonym to a complaint - they're opposites.
For example a complaint might be, "I'm always so darned tired.
" Whereas an affirmation might be, "I'm awake, alive, and full of energy.
" Affirmations represent goals we have and changes we desire.
They're stated positively and in the present tense.
There are no rules when it comes to the appropriateness of an affirmation, they can be spiritual, material or a combination of both.
Many of us simply desire to feel happy.
We want to embrace that sometimes elusive sense of well-being.
This desire is tested by our day to day difficulties, challenges, and by our deeply instilled habits which produce the contrary - we desire a sense of well being but actually create the opposite.
Daily affirmations can help you on the path to reaching this goal of general happiness and well being.
Here are a few affirmations taken from the Ernest Holmes book, The Science of Mind, which was originally published in 1926.
oI am happy and complete today and forever.
Within me is that which is Perfect and Complete.
It is The Spirit of all Life, Truth, and Action.
I am happy in the sure knowledge of the Inner Light.
I cannot be sad nor sorry, but must radiate Joy and Life, For Life is within me now.
I am happy and complete.
oPerfection is already accomplished.
I do not have to wait for the Perfect Life.
I am that Perfect Life here and now.
Today I express the Limitless Life of the All Good.
Today I manifest my Completion in every part of me.
Today I am saved.
Here and now I am healed.
Affirmations don't have to be longwinded paragraphs, they can be simple sentences designed to inspire and uplift.
For example: oI am perfectly happy in body, mind and spirit.
oI am healthy, happy and radiant.
oI am a radiant being filled with light and love.
oI love and accept myself exactly as I am.
oI now express love to all those I meet.
Creating Your Personal Affirmations What do you want from your life? Of course for many this may be difficult to discern.
If this is the case, ask yourself what you don't want and then use the opposite to create an affirmation.
For example, "I don't want to feel stressed when I'm at work.
" This affirmation becomes, "I am at peace at all times no matter what is going on around me or the challenges I face.
I know that God gives me all I need.
" Be sure to phrase your affirmations positively and in the present tense.
Once you have your affirmation or affirmations, post them somewhere you will see them often.
Suggestions include your bathroom mirror, your laptop or planner, or your journal.
Repeat your affirmations at least three times a day and certainly when you're feeling particularly challenged.
Eventually you'll have your affirmations memorized and repeating them will become second nature.
Daily affirmations designed to embrace and bring about a sense of well being and happiness are a terrific way to initiate the affirmation process.
Once you have the ball rolling, consider tracking your affirmations and the changes in your life as a result.
This will help you embrace the practice and to evaluate what other areas of your life might benefit from daily affirmations.
