Positive Affirmations for Health

Affirmations, also known as "thought affirmations," are a set of words or phrases you repeat to yourself to overcome limiting or self-sabotaging thoughts. It's been said that a well-constructed affirmations list can improve work performance, reduce your stress level and even cure some diseases. Positive affirmations can change the way you think about yourself and about life in general. They can make you more resilient and capable of handling whatever life throws at you. Here's a list of some of the most important ingredients you should include in your daily affirmations.

I am loved and desired. A daily affirmation is really just another way of saying, "I am loved and desired." Most people don't like to hear these words because they are so simple and obvious, but if you truly want to be worthy of love and abundance in this lifetime it's essential that you speak them out loud every single day. Positive affirmations aren't just good old-fashioned love mantras they are powerful invitations to express your deepest wish for others and yourself.

Be thankful. One great reason why you should be using affirmations is because they are an incredibly powerful way of expressing your gratitude for all that you have already and all that you will have in the future. Using positive affirmations about your own self can change your perspective towards life so that you are more appreciative and happy about everything around you. It's possible to train your mind to automatically believe and speak positively of everything in your life, including yourself.

Take time for yourself. If you want to make sure that your affirmations actually do work, then you need to take time out of your busy day to practice them. When you take time out to repeat positive affirmations to yourself, you are actually training your subconscious to think positively about everything. This repetition actually alters your brain chemistry so that when you feel good about something you are more likely to actually perform it. If you repeatedly tell yourself that you are thankful for all the good things that you have in your life on a regular basis, you will begin to see them manifest more abundantly.

Exercise. Another reason why you should be using affirmations to improve your mental health and manifest your physical health is because they are tremendously effective at improving both your mental and physical health. By exercising on a regular basis, you are taking time out of your busy day to focus solely on the positive aspects of your life. Exercising releases endorphins into your system, making you feel happier and less stressed throughout the day, allowing you to live a happier and healthier lifestyle.

Be kind. Another thing that you need to realize is that when you use affirmations to help change your mindset, they have to be spoken out loud. You cannot rely on affirmations to convince your subconscious that you are worthy of love, respect, and happiness. If you want to convince yourself of those things, you have to tell yourself through language - or even by reflection - that those things are really true.

Repetition is the key. One of the things that can make your subconscious affirmations become stuck in your mind is to not speak them out loud while you are awake. Every morning when you awaken, remember to repeat a positive affirmation to yourself. repeating an affirmation over helps make the affirmation stick in your mind, causing it to become very solid and very real.

There is nothing wrong with using positive affirmations to improve your mental or physical health. You simply have to make sure that you are speaking out loud the affirmation, and that you always say the affirmation out loud, whether you are aware of it or not. Even if you are just thinking about something random that occurs in your every day life, repeating it to yourself can help the affirmations stick. If you think about it, most of the time, those affirmations you are thinking about right now are coming from your subconscious mind, and they are becoming very solid and real as you use them every single day.
