Using Positive Affirmations in your Daily Life
to enhance health, well-being, creativity, abundance, and to just plain feel better!
Set Your Goal: Decide what it is you want and write some affirmations for yourself. Always make positive statements about what you want and how you want to feel, and phrase them in the present tense. See them as already existing the way you want it to be, not in the past and not in the future, but right now as if you have already achieved your goal.
Focus On It Often: Repeat your affirmations often. Write them down and carry them around with you to help reinforce them. Record your affirmations on tape or cd and play them back to yourself often, especially while sleeping. Repeat them first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Say them to yourself while looking at yourself in the mirror, and really feel it.
Give It Positive Energy: Get into the feeling of the affirmations. The feeling is very important. We need to engage not just our mind with words, but our body as well with the feeling, which helps us anchor and realize the affirmations much faster. Let your imagination soar! Explore all the minute details of what you want to manifest and how it feels. Describe it in detail. Talk with loved-ones and friends about what you want only if they positively support it. Do not share it with others who would give you negative feedback. Do not let others sway you from your positive feelings.
Note: Stop all negative thinking. Pay attention to your internal dialogue. When you are not feeling good, what you are thinking? When you catch yourself thinking thoughts that don't feel good, stop! Immediately replace those thoughts with your new positive affirmations. Do this as often as you can throughout your day until you feel better. When you start to feel better, keep thinking and saying your affirmations until you feel great. When you feel great, keep thinking and saying your positive affirmations! Don't give those negative thoughts a chance to creep back in. Be ever vigilant and you will succeed! If you are around people who are negative, start talking about your positive affirmations and positive subjects. If they are still negative, and you can't get away from them, bring it to their attention or ask them to stop. Usually they are not even aware of what they are doing. If they won't stop, remove yourself. If you can't remove yourself, then say your affirmations silently and firmly, feeling every word, and visualizing the positive energy engulfing all negativity around you! Remember that no matter what is going on in your external circumstances, ALL IS WELL and you are always connected to your guidance within!

From Louise Hay, a prayer for today:
In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete.
I live in harmony and balance with everyone I know. Deep at the center of my being, there is an infinite well of love. I now allow this love to flow to the surface. It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied. The more love I use and give, the more I have to give. The supply is endless.
The use of love makes me feel good, therefore, I take loving care of my body. I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages, I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly responds to me with vibrant health and energy.
I love myself; therefore, I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.
I love myself; therefore, I work at a job I truly enjoy doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working with and for people I love and who love me, and earning a good income.
I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving way to all people for I know that that which I give out returns to me multiplied. I only attract loving people in my world, for they are a mirror of what I am.
I love myself; therefore, I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences and I am free.
I love myself; therefore, I live totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bright and joyous and secure, for I am a beloved child of the Universe and the Universe lovingly takes care of me now and forever more.
All is well in my world.
