Positive Affirmations Can Change Your Life
Positive Affirmations Can Change Your Life
Positive affirmations are positive statements or sentences about something that you simply wish to make in your life. These positive statements or sentences are repeated mentally or aloud. This process triggers the subconscious mind to accept them and start helping you to achieve them.
These positive affirmations are most helpful when repeated with faith and a spotlight . They get engraved on the subconscious mind, which in turn, looks for ways to make them come true.
Positive Affirmations Can Help in Many Situations
Positive affirmations can encourage you when facing a drag .
They can motivate you once you lack enough motivation.
They can inspire you when you need inspiration.
They can give you hope and inner strength in time of need.
They can help you build new, good habits.
They can help you fix your attention on your goals.
They can even attract to you the things you want.
Actually, you’ve got most likely used affirmations repeatedly , both negative and positive affirmations, without knowing that you simply are repeating affirmations.
What Are Positive Affirmations?
These are positive, inspiring and inspiring statements about something that you simply want to happen, get, or achieve.
Here are a few examples of positive affirmations:
“I can get this job.”
“I am going to get good grades at school.”
“I have love in my life.”
“I can shape my body and look good.”
“I am earning a lot of money.”
What Are Negative Affirmations
These are negative statements and words. A great number of people think negatively, have low self-esteem and expect problems, difficulties or bad things to happen to them. They often believe their problems, tell themselves how difficult life is, which they are doing not have money or that no-one loves them.
In this way, they recreate their negative reality, rather than changing it with the assistance of positive affirmations.
Here are a few examples of negative affirmations:
“I will never get a good job.”
“It is so tough to find love.”
“I am always so tired.”
“I can’t learn a new language.”
“I don’t have enough money.”
These negative statements make you feel bad, miserable and unhappy, and do not allow you to change your thoughts, change your viewpoint and change your life.
If, once you face problems and difficulties, you permit yourself to feel miserable, and repeat in your mind how miserable you’re , you’re making the issues and misery bigger and invite them into your life. You teach your mind to expect problems and difficulties and to look for them.
Positive Affirmations Can Change Your Life
On the opposite hand, if you refuse to wallow in self-pity and bad feelings, and instead, repeat positive affirmations about how you would like your life to be and the way skilled or talented you are, things will start to change for the better and they will continue to do so.
Repeating positive affirmations may be a very simple process, but you would like a particular positive attitude for them to figure . You should not allow your negative thoughts to win.
How to Deal With Failure? : A Take on Life
Life is an unchangeable ride that you have to take on without a chance of thinking twice and expectation of revision. All we want to be a gainer, want to conquer everything without thinking what if we lose? We all believe in a two-dimensional life. One is called a winner and another is called a loser. But we forget to remark the coastline which posses the tag of a fighter. A true traveler has to keep its eye at the sky as well as in the ground. Everyone should have a plan to deal with failure. Let’s discuss how can we deal with failure.
Accept and express your emotions
Sometimes it’s worth accepting your emotions to cope with your pain. Most of the time we pretend to feel good and suppress our emotions. Anxiety, embarrassment, shame, disappointment, discomfort all come following the failure. Journal of Behavioural Decision, a study in 2017, says it is worth having the bad feeling after failure because it gives the strength to pull up ourselves and work hard for success.
Make a plan about the next and look forward
Failing is a part of success. You can’t stop yourself working and moving forward if you fail. Learn from the previous mistake and create a plan to move forward. Believe in yourself. Be hopeful and insightful to have a strategical growth.
Refrain from unhealthy ways of dealing with failure
When we are sad or depressed about something, we try to escape. In doing so, people take refuge from some addictions like drugs, alcohol. Some even take suicidal run as the option to flee. So, try to avoid unhealthy ways to heal your pain of failure. Because it will give you temporary relief and will ruin your life permanently.
Face the fear
Most of the time thought of fear chases us and we try not to accept or face the fear. The fear might come from family pressure, social pressure, and many. People are worried about what others will say if we don’t succeed. In all these, we forget about ourselves and let the fear chasing us until we fall to the ditch of dark. Everyone has to come out from their comfort zone and explore the world of possibilities without fear.
Get inspiration
There are many success stories which were started with failure. The stories from Thomas Edison to Walt Disney will encourage you. Businessmen are running with loss, actors are being rejected, sportsmen are failing to score, but there lies a second chance for all. Failure can’t stop one to win rather it encourages to win. If one fails it means the person has stepped one level forward towards success.
Stop blaming yourself and have realistic thoughts
Continuous blaming yourself can cause depression. Rather it’s better to deal with it. Sometimes communicating with friends can work as stress bursts. If one keeps thinking about a mistake over and over again, it causes mental and physical health disorders. Yourself always can’t be the sole factor behind the failure. Overthinking, preoccupied thoughts give way to imaginary consequences and end up with health issues. So, it’s better to have realistic thoughts like why the failure occurred, what might be the mistake, how mistakes should be corrected, and how to sort oneself and work for betterment.
Not all stories have a happy ending but not all stories ending happily are good stories. Losing and succeeding are part of the life story. What worth rewarding are the struggle and hard work one is doing. We all have to learn to stand up by ourselves each time we fall down. Moreover, we can also be the hand to pull another up from failure when the person can’t make it own. Helping others is also a piece of success.
