Here's something new that you can try out this week...
An affirmation is a short, powerful and positive statement of intent which you repeat regularly.
By doing affirmations regularly they're proven to actually change your thoughts - when you repeat them and say them often it leaves a possible blueprint in your mind
You need to talk to your subconscious mind, programming in what you want out of your life.
Affirmations can be broad - 'I am kind, I am loved, I am happy'.
Or more specific - ' I help my practice members live a happier and healthy life'.
Affirmations are a way of directly feeding our brain positive information, which programs it for success.
Here are seven tips to making effective affirmations -
1. Write down your affirmation. It should be short, as you will be repeating it over and over again, and it should be in the present tense.
2. Think about what you may consider to be your negative qualities, e.g. 'I am shy', an affirmation is a powerful way to flip this on its head. For example, it could be 'I am confident'.
3. Experiment with different affirmations and see how they make you feel.
4. As you are saying the affirmation out loud, really imagine yourself as that person. If your affirmation is 'I am full of energy' - imagine yourself as a person who is full of vitality.
5. Say the affirmations every morning even if you don't feel like it. Try and repeat the phrase continuously for about one minute.
6. Repeat throughout the day.
7. Change you affirmation if needed depending on the message you are trying to imprint on your brain.
