When something negative happens in your life, do you beat yourself up about it time and time again?<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Focusing on phrases such as: <em>\\&#8221;That was stupid,\\&#8221; \\&#8221;I am so fat,\\&#8221; \\&#8221;No one loves me,\\&#8221;<\/em> and a host of other negative statements can easily zap the happiness right out of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Luckily, this doesn\\&#8217;t have to be permanent. Positive affirmations can turn your negativity around. Affirmations are simply statements or phrases, which focus on the positive rather than the negative.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong><em>These mantras can actually reprogram your subconscious thinking <\/em><\/strong>and bring you a plethora of good benefits that you\\&#8217;ll enjoy for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some easy ways to incorporate positive affirmations into your life:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ol type=\\\"1\\\"><li><strong>Affirmations should always be in the present tense<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Begin your statements with <em>\\&#8221;I can\\&#8221; \\&#8221;I have\\&#8221; <\/em>or <em>\\&#8221;I am,\\&#8221;<\/em> instead of a phrase like <em>\\&#8221;I will\\&#8221;<\/em> or <em>\\&#8221;I may.\\&#8221;<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<ul><li>Examples of this would be <em>\\&#8221;I have a beautiful body\\&#8221;<\/em> and <em>\\&#8221;I am so intelligent,\\&#8221;<\/em> instead of <em>\\&#8221;I will never be so stupid again.\\&#8221;<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li>Choose statements that focus on the positive attributes you want to encourage, saying them as if you already exhibit that behavior.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Address yourself by name when expressing your affirmations<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Believe it or not, this <em>does<\/em> make a big difference. When you say: <em>\\&#8221;I, Jane Doe, am a beautiful person both inside and out,\\&#8221;<\/em> it makes your affirmation more powerful because you hear the lovely sound of your own name!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Using your name in the affirmations allows your subconscious to process the words even quicker.<\/em><\/strong><em><\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Focus on one or two affirmations to start with<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Although you possess many positive attributes, it\\&#8217;s best to focus only on one or two when you\\&#8217;re first starting out. If you start with twenty positive affirmations, your subconscious may be overwhelmed or dismiss the deeper meaning.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li>For example, if you meet someone who goes on and on about how great and beautiful you are, what\\&#8217;s your reaction? Usually after the second or third compliment, you tend to wonder if this person is actually being sincere! The same principal applies to practicing many affirmations at once.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li>Focus on one or two, and when they\\&#8217;re firmly planted into your subconscious, you can move on to more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Practice your affirmations as often as possible<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Our subconscious mind is more open to suggestions when we first open our eyes in the morning and then again when we\\&#8217;re ready to fall asleep at night.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>The more often you recite your affirmations, the faster you\\&#8217;ll experience lasting changes.<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Don\\&#8217;t fret if you\\&#8217;re having trouble writing your affirmations. <\/strong>There are many books and self-improvement websites that include hundreds of good, daily affirmations.
