The power of affirmations- let's not ovation (something pulled me to poetry). It's time to write about another "tool" that is designed to help with . It must be admitted that the popularity of this topic is very serious (more than 50,000 requests per month according to Yandex). Is it such a cool tool and what is the reason for its popularity? Let's figure it out...
First you need to decide on the wording. An affirmation, in simple words, is a short saying, by repeating which you set your mind in a positive way (self-hypnosis).
Every time when it comes to methods of suggestion, I am reminded of the semi-joke about "magic healers". The session… The healer works with the “patient”, putting his hand on his head and repeating over and over again: “Get up and go… Get up and go… Get up and go…” Five minutes have passed, the “patient” can’t stand it and says: “Doctor, I I know how to walk, I would like to restore my vision 🙂 ... "
Why did I give such an example. I, like each of you (most likely), had not quite easy times in my life. Sometimes you walk down the street with the last two hryvnias in your pocket, but you radiate optimism, hold on proudly, playing the role of the person you want to be. Great…
After watching the movie "The Secret" and reading books about positive thinking, you are 100% sure that a miracle will happen to you in the near future: you will win the lottery, get an inheritance or a job of your dreams, on which you will not need to do anything, and money will flow like water . What leads to such arbitrariness...? To delay the inevitable.
The power of affirmations.
Let's take a look at the pros and cons of affirmations...
They have one plus, though quite weighty: Affirmations can serve as a “trigger” for starting or. Their role reminds me of spark plugs in a car engine - to give a spark, nothing more. Affirmations will help start your "action engine". It is only important to understand that if you sit and say affirmations all day long, the best thing that awaits you ahead is starvation (dark humor 🙁).
Now whoever needs to sit down, because I'm going to critique affirmations a bit.
- It must be admitted that affirmations carry a sufficient amount of self-deception. We inspire ourselves with something that is not really there. “Overdoses of self-deception” will eventually poison your life as positive thinking often runs counter to reality (we refuse or dare to accept reality). Not wanting to see the truth, you move away from the real you.
- Our life is a balance of positive and negative. The constant suppression of negativity with positive leads to the accumulation of negativity in “your body (and it is not excreted naturally 🙂”. What will happen next? The so-called “negative obesity.” I will give a not very pleasant example, but this equates to the fact that you are eat for days and don't go to the toilet, it will kill you.
- Sooner or later you will need to face the truth and accept it. The main thing is that after that it should not be excruciatingly painful for the aimlessly lived years.
- The most important thing in this life BE, NOT SEEM TO BE!!!
It is important to understand that affirmations may work in the short term, but they have nothing to do with the long term! Their biggest disadvantage is that people, like drug addicts, “get hooked” on them and lose touch with reality, trying to live their UNCONSCIOUS life “in a soap bubble of positive”.
Reviewing the notes of my trainings, I noticed one piece of wisdom:
The only reward you get for solving a problem is
Another big problem to be solved!
Stop... Read it again... And now tell me how to connect this statement with positive thinking? At first glance, in any way, but in this saying our whole life !!! What matters is the right attitude towards these problems. It's up to us to choose whether to see them as problems or as opportunities for growth!
I have repeatedly written about how I managed to reach the bar of 88 kg and maintain this figure for several years without any diets and obsessions about losing weight. When compiling for this year, I thought about a new bar. Looking at myself in the mirror (and to be honest), it was impossible not to notice the "extra" in the abdomen. Then I thought it would be nice to fix it.
This Friday (07/29/16) I decided to do a control weigh-in before training in the gym. And here she is the cherished figure of 85 and a half kilograms (with sneakers and clothes: naked, it was somehow inconvenient to hang down, at least in front of the girl at the reception 🙂). Now a new goal has been drawn: to keep this indicator at the achieved level. There is a lot of work to be done, but when for the first time in many years you see essays (so far only essays) of the upper six pack, then it's worth it, friends.
I conducted a large number of experiments that either helped me achieve my goals or threw me back, but the main thing I want to note: “It was not affirmations or visualizations that helped me in achieving, but a great Desire to change my life and persistent purposeful work !!!” Which is what I wish you.
P.S. If you have a desire to share with me the joy of achievement, you are welcome to write a couple of pleasant words in the comments. Believe in yourself and your abilities and you will definitely succeed!
P.S.S. Special thanks to those who write in the comments their opinion on the topic of affirmations: how it works for you and whether it works at all. Maybe an interesting story or case, whatever.
Thank you for your precious time spent in my company!!!
Sincerely, Andrey Zhulay.

Affirmations are very powerful and deep.
One of my favorite tools to banish fear and other negative emotions from my life is positive affirmations. I have been using affirmations for a long time now and throughout the day I find inspiring and calming thoughts popping up in my mind each time that keep me uplifted and loving. And if I find myself frightened or annoyed by any situation in my life, I just start repeating the appropriate affirmations over and over again until I feel like I am under a warm blanket. Amazing!
Whenever you feel fear or resentment, use affirmations one way or another, because affirmations are a very strong and positive statement that tells us “everything will be fine”, “everything is fine now”, “everything is already fine”, despite all the negative thoughts that may visit us from time to time. With constant repetition of inspiring and comforting affirmations, the voices of anxiety and pessimism that pervade our minds are replaced by thoughts of peace, our inner strength and love. Yes!.. All is well!
I believe that one of the reasons for the incredible power of affirmations is that by replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, we actually transfer ourselves from one weak state of mind (“I am weak”) to another, more powerful, strong and loving state. ("I'm strong"). I can't even think of a better state for myself.
There is another reason why affirmations are so effective. They are much more powerful than they seem at first glance. Although an affirmation is a small statement, it has a very deep meaning and subtext. It seems to me…
Affirmations contain a wealth of life-affirming thoughts that remind us that we are inherently very loving and very strong and therefore we are not afraid of anything.
Let me give you an example: I have a small frame on my desktop where I have captured one of my favorite affirmations…
When I experience fear attacks or feel confused or annoyed about any situation in my life, I notice my "reminder" right in front of me, and I begin to repeat this affirmation again and again. When I do this, I begin to feel my body relax, negative feelings disappear, and I am really truly overcome with thoughts that EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING IN THE BEST WAY FOR ME!
Of course, you might be thinking, "Victor, how can things work out for the best when so many things don't work out the way we want them to?" Good question. And if we dig into the deeper meaning of this affirmation, we will find the answer. For me, this affirmation is the short version…
My mind cannot see the big picture of life's huge constructor. I don't know why things happen this way in life, I just believe that everything that happens has the greatest meaning. Even when things don't go the way I want them to, I try to relax and focus on what life is teaching me and what experiences I will take with me into the future. In this way, I become a stronger, more knowledgeable and more loving person.
Yes… EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING IN THE BEST WAY FOR ME!
You will see that with such a deep meaning and frequency of repetition, everything really happens only in the best way for you, by saying such affirmations you can create a wonderful feeling of peace and love around you.
By the way, you should not even believe that the affirmations you say have such a positive effect on the body, mind and soul. Maybe you don't even feel that EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING IN THE BEST WAY FOR ME! the main thing is to know that it has a deep meaning for you. Marvelous…
This shows that speaking, thinking or writing positive thoughts makes us stronger in any case, whether we believe in these words or not.
Incredible, isn't it...
Recently I made another interesting and important discovery for myself…
If you say affirmations often enough, you will inevitably begin to believe in them.
This is easy to explain, since affirmations have the property of "working as is." That is, they do not need additional explanations. The phrases themselves and affirmative statements contain actions. If you "act as is" long enough, your mind allows this affirmation to sink inside you and your possibilities to increase, effortlessly. And, ultimately, you accept the fact that this is true.
Another example: There was a time when I really did not believe that my life could be different, that it could be different. I had very low self-esteem. In order to somehow help myself, I began to study literature and, even sometimes, visited self-help groups. And just at one of these groups I got the tools on how to use affirmations. At first I was skeptical. But then, I thought: "An attempt is not torture." That affirmation that I began to say daily, over and over again, "MY LIFE HAS A HIGHEST MEANING", although I certainly did not think so at the time.
And once it happened, it was so exciting that to this day I remember this moment very well. What happened? I was enveloped in life-changing events: "My life really has a higher meaning." Tears rolled down my face from the joyful realization that my life is in motion, it is constantly changing, it really has a higher meaning. It was this deep awareness that lurked in me for so many years, until I began to focus on all the good things that were and are in my life. And if you think about it, it all starts to work when we repeat affirmations, despite the fact that you may not yet believe in their magical power.
Whether you believe in affirmations or not, I will touch on this topic in the future, but this simple statement creates a tremendous change in the energy within us, gratitude, love and an all-encompassing desire to create.
As soon as you start repeating affirmations over and over again, keeping their deep meaning in mind, your interaction with the outside world will begin to change on a subtle plane. For example, when you say the affirmation “I have great power of love and bravely go my way” quite often, you begin to act differently, events begin to happen differently, you react to the outside world differently. You become more loving. And the most amazing thing is, you are treated very differently. You look healthier and the loving energy is completely enveloping you and your life. Affirmations are really very powerful, aren't they.
You may, of course, be thinking, "Oh Victor, I'm so busy adding one more activity to my daily routine." No worries! Proper use of affirmations takes absolutely no time at all. How is this possible? Because, …
All you are doing is replacing negative thoughts with healthy and positive thoughts of peace, our inner strength and love.
Read it again! Such negative thoughts, which we more than replace with positive ones, with the help of affirmations, we can repeat when we get dressed, take a shower, do our daily business while you eat in transport, and of course, when we go to bed.
The key to a happy life is to remember the powerful power of affirmations and say them!
To do this, I propose to write down your favorite affirmations, for example, on tear-off sticky notes, and place them where you appear most often, in the car, on your desktop, on the mirror, in the hallway, on the refrigerator. It will be much easier for you to remember that any negative thought can be changed into a positive, life-affirming motive, and affirmations will help you with this. You can get very creative with this procedure. Important! It is important that you do this work with a feeling of sincere joy.
I will share with you the ways of some participants of the program "Affirmations - the path to miraculous change!". One of the participants, getting to the university for about an hour, spending in public transport, made notes in a notebook, one affirmation on each page, and while she spent time on the road, she read the affirmations, repeating each of them ten times. And so every affirmation while driving to the university, day after day. And at the end of the trip, she always felt in high spirits, was full of inner strength and radiated an unconditional feeling of love. I might add that in the end, she was able to change her life dramatically.
Bad habits are hard to break (and negative thinking is definitely one of those habits), and the bottom line is that we can still break these habits. And for starters, the best thing to do is to use affirmations more intensively until they become a daily part of your thinking. Again, this is very easy, because. you already know that repeating affirmations does not distract you from work, they do not take time and do not require additional devices. All you have to do is replace negative thoughts with positive ones by simply repeating certain statements - affirmations. A very good exchange, isn't it!
Now let me introduce you to ten affirmations with their deep meaning as I see them. Since you will be able to see the real meaning of the affirmations, you will be able to create your own affirmations.
And as an experiment, I encourage you to repeat each affirmation, quietly or silently, ten times after reading its deep meaning. It is very important! I tried to make it more convenient for you by organizing each affirmation and its deep meaning on a separate sheet, in a frame. You can cut them out and place them in a place you can see so that the affirmation is constantly at your fingertips, because it's easier to start saying them and start moving along your path of happiness. Now let me make a prediction:
After reading the ten affirmations... understanding their deep meaning... and repeating each of them ten times, you will definitely feel uplifted, the energy of your entire body moving in the direction of peace, inner strength and love.
I believe one day you will see their positive meaning and make affirmations a part of your daily life, as I have made them part of mine. After all, who can resist, replacing the echoes of pessimism in the mind with thoughts of peace, inner strength and love?! Neither I ... I hope not you. Forward!
I am often asked how I manage to always be in a good mood. I'll be honest - I'm human and I can't smile 24/7. But for me it is very important to fill myself with positive energy, just like watering a flower in an apartment.
The journey has been a long one, it continues, but the starting point was getting to know affirmations.
I realized that each of us has the power to change our thoughts, we just need to start using this power.
I will say even more, thanks to affirmations, I managed to cope with the fear of public speaking.
At first, I used ready-made affirmations. Then I learned to make my own.
affirmations help fill your head with love and not fear. Love leads to growth, fear turns it off.
But let's be honest. Life is not always rainbows and pink flamingos. There are many negativity, difficulties and problems in life (usually we create them ourselves.) Affirmations are not designed to get rid of suffering. This is not a magic pill that heals wounds.
Affirmations help rewire your brain so that look at things from a different angle. These are little reminders who we are and who we should be. We came into this world to be happy, not to complain, suffer and be unhappy.
Our beliefs are formed from childhood. And not always these beliefs help us to have a positive experience in life. Some limit our power and potential. Our thoughts either pull us back or help us grow and develop.
Our thoughts are our emotions.
Emotions are our actions.
In our head, we constantly scroll through the same scenarios and not always the ones that make us happy.
Here the choice is ours. Either we program ourselves, or we are programmed.
We have many fears. We worry about the future, for ourselves and for our loved ones. We are afraid to step out of our comfort zone, even when is in the comfort zone disgusting.
Everything we think about grows, so you need to think about what you want from life.
As the owner of the house turns on the light in the bathroom with one click, so do you, be the master of your life. Program yourself for success and create the energy of peace inside, because only in this state you can make effective decisions.
I have been using this technique for over 10 years and have dozens of stories to back me up that the technique works.
An affirmation is a positive affirmation that helps change the way we think and shape the future we want.
True, there is one point.
Technology works when you work.
(any technique)
After listing my favorite affirmations, I'll cover how and when to use this technique.
13 affirmations to increase energy, faith and self-confidence:
I am healthy and full of energy.
I love and accept myself for who I am. I see beauty in myself and the world around me.
I'm ready to see things differently.
I decided to broaden my perspective and look at things from a different angle. Just like I turn a diamond and see reflections of light that I haven't seen before.

No danger. Everything is going well.
I can handle all my tasks with ease, confidence and grace. I have the courage to accept myself completely, even my shortcomings.
I'm safe. I trust life and the future. My future is bright and safe.
This is one of the biggest causes for concern. It is a gentle reminder that your needs will always be met, that life will always support you. Trust and be open to miracles that can happen to you.
I trust myself and my experience.
I always make the best decisions for myself. All decisions I make are for my own good.
I listen to my body - it knows what I need.

Any difficulty on the way to the goals gives me the opportunity to develop. I am grateful to life for the attention to me. The world is diverse and I do not presume to judge people for their actions. I enjoy my purposefulness.

I have the freedom to love and enjoy life.
There is no limit to all the good things that I can achieve in my life. I accept every day with a good mood, because every day I can do something that will make someone happy. I am useful to this world.
My past taught me a lot and gave me a lot of strength. Everything I have been through, good and bad, has been a preparation for this day for me, and therefore I can cope with all my tasks. Now I am very strong, I am stronger than I have ever been in the past. I am completely healed of my past. My mind is not disturbed by anything. It's my time to be happy.
It's my time to shine. I'm ready.
I have everything to be happy, loving, the best version of myself. All I have to do is make up my mind. The time has come. I'm ready. Go.

How to use affirmations
Use affirmations as a tool to boost your energy and brighten up your days. Remember that this is not about ignoring problems, but about reprogramming your brain to ask yourself: How can I look at this situation differently? What's good here? What is really true?
Everyone uses affirmations differently. Find what's right for you.
You can make a desktop wallpaper, make a list in a notepad or on your phone.
Play around, experiment, find what works for you. You can read everywhere and always until you believe in what you are saying with every cell of your body and see changes at the level of actions.
Create your own affirmations. To begin with, monitor your negative beliefs for some time.
Feel bad?
Write down the answer: what did you think before you felt bad?
And then instead of a negative belief, create a positive one. Necessarily use affirmations in a positive way and in the present tense. Repeat, repeat, create new ones. Over time, you will see the effect this work will have on your whole life.
And in the finale, wisdom from Luza Hay, who generously shared this technique with the whole world during her life: “Pronouncing affirmations is only part of the process. What matters most is what you do for the rest of the day and night. The secret to getting affirmations to work in your life is to set the stage for growth. Affirmations are like seeds planted in the soil. Bad soil, poor watering - poor growth. The more often you choose thoughts that make you feel good, the faster affirmations will work.
I so agree with this idea.
Now it's your turn: what are your favorite affirmations? I am always looking for new ideas for spiritual development.
Peace and positive vibrations to all!
With love, your wellness coach Olga Ryabushenko
21 days to learn how to keep your self-esteem in good shape
In previous articles on this topic, we talked with you about the power of the word and the patterns that follow us everywhere.
The power of affirmations or the power of positive thinking is the topic of today's article.
Good day, friends and guests of my blog site
The power of affirmations is the power of positive thinking
With this article, I intend to close the series of articles on this topic. And so, here, I want to talk about the power of positive thinking.
You and I already know that the word, just like the thought, has great power over the processes that take place in our lives.
Science, as close as possible, did not get close to the discovery of quantum physics, which is exactly what this statement says.
Thus, perhaps you and I are living at a time when this statement can be proved scientifically, in the language of formulas. In the meantime, it is clear to me even now that a positive thought is many hundreds of times stronger than a negative thought.
And this proportion makes me very happy. If so, let's learn to think positively. For all its seemingly simplicity, this is a very difficult task.
It is necessary to fill your brain with positive information. But for this, it is necessary to remove negative thoughts. How to do this, I have already said. Television, radio, newspapers are all sources of this information.
We come to the most important thing. I learned a long time ago that the more I say positive and positive affirmations, the more I attract them into my life.
These statements are affirmations.
Moreover, it is known that almost any habit in a person is formed in about 40 days. What prevents us from “inculcating” this habit in ourselves?
I do the following - in the morning, when I brush my teeth and wash my face, I do one of my favorite exercises - I start the day with Gratitude.
These are my gratitudes to the Universe, to the higher Self, to God — for everything that surrounds me and that I have. This is a very strong exercise that I have already become a habit. Thus, thanks to you, you repeatedly attract into your life what you are grateful for - love, health, family, material wealth ...
I always say the following affirmation when I go outside in the morning.
I am open and receptive to all the good that the Universe gives me - not a drop of good, but an ocean of good
- this is the affirmation that I read from the books of Louise Hay.
What prevents you from saying every day, several times a day?
Thus, you let even more positive, good, energy into your life. We do not know something, and when we find out, we regret it.
For those who practice a tool called "affirmations", it will be interesting and useful to read this material and finally understand how all this works and why it doesn't work.
Today we find out 4 key rules for working with affirmations, which many do not know about and therefore do not believe in the power of affirmations.
Let's talk about:
- Do affirmations work?
- how to apply affirmations correctly, important skills;
- what is the power of affirmation;
- what are the best affirmations plus my personal selection of powerful affirmations.
And let's start by defining the word "affirmation".
Affirmation comes from the English verb "affirm", which means to affirm something, something that is true.
From this follows the essence of affirmations - everything that a person says and everything that he believes that this is so, what he believes in and is a kind of affirmation.
Endowed with powerful power, affirmations are given to help us change our beliefs, and therefore our reality.
Affirmations can be used in different ways.
- you can compose them yourself or combine already known affirmations with each other and thus derive your own;
- write / rewrite ready-made affirmations yourself and pronounce them yourself;
- listen to audio/video media.
The power of affirmation. Rule one.
When you say affirmations, it is extremely important to keep track of what is called underwater thoughts. These are thoughts that have a completely different meaning, not the one we would like.
For example, when you say a positive affirmation, resistance may appear inside, an internal protest and an undercurrent of your thoughts will say that this is not so, that this is absolute nonsense.
So the first rule is:
If you want affirmations to work effectively, watch your undercurrents of thought and ignore the thoughts that come up in the background or echo behind your affirmation.
The main thing here is to simply repeat affirmations and not pay attention to internal resistance and rejection, doubt, distrust. At first, this disbelief in affirmations will be and it just needs to be accepted.
It's important to really believe in them. The mind must agree that affirmations exist and they work. If there is a discrepancy between the mind and affirmations, this will not work and the expected effect will not come.
For example, if you accustom yourself to the idea that wealth is available to everyone and everyone, that you always have any amount and live for your own pleasure, then you don’t need to jump away from an expensive thing, look at it with envy, and even more so say to yourself: I will never be like this."
It is better to go to an expensive boutique and feel at home there. If you are embarrassed to think about money or pass by an expensive boutique again and envy that cool car, this means that your affirmations have not leaked into your reality in any way and have not changed your perception.
Remember!
Affirmations are designed to help us change reality and create new beliefs.
Their main mission is not just to cheer us up for five minutes, but to help us begin to perceive ourselves, the world, people and any situation that you are working on using this essentially powerful tool, affirmation.
Allow yourself to say/listen to the affirmations as many times as you need. Even if you just include them as a background, it will already be useful.
What happens when you work with affirmations?
You find yourself in a certain stream with those forces that begin to lead you along the path of least resistance. This is a high-speed lane where you will find a minimum of obstacles, a maximum of results and pleasure.
The affirmation method works.
If you believe in the power of affirmations, I offer you my selection. It is based on the affirmations of Louise Hay. For me, they are the best, easy to remember and really effective.

Affirmations of Louise Hay on the background of colorful, positive pictures
